A nurse in Victoria wanting to be part of positive change. Equality & equity for all. Hatefulness not tolerated.
Ten years on, the much-promised Brexit benefits remain reassuringly bog standard. 😏
The difficult transition from “Please explain?” to “Please stop asking me to explain.” Thus, One Nation unveils its comprehensive media policy: ask a question, get banned. Candidates apparently not exempt. 😏
The orange elephant in the room is getting harder to ignore. A parliamentary inquiry hears 1970s-style racism is back, online hate is escalating and spilling into real life. Outrage needs targets. Solutions need evidence. 🐘🔴✏️ www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Unpleasant and loud. No, I'm not talking about Pauline Hanson... this time. 😉 I'm talking about the AusAlert. It certainly got my attention! A successful test, and a great idea.

Every "clarification" seems to make the original comment worse. Domestic violence isn't a distraction from "real crime"—it is real crime. When the defence needs defending, perhaps it's time to rethink the original statement rather than keep sanewashing it.
When extraordinary claims arrive, the Department of Things That Need Checking opens another file. The pelican delivers the outrage. The penguin asks for evidence. Curiously, the evidence is often delayed. Please explain. 🐧📂 #OutrageNation #FactCheck #PleaseExplain
Count Binface's manifesto may contain the first mathematically impossible tax policy: "Lower your taxes and raise everyone else's." It only works in an M.C. Escher universe where everyone pays less than everyone else... simultaneously. 🤔📉💷
@larrythefink.bsky.social Buying Australian sounds simple. Building an economy where Australians can make Australian products without becoming cheaper Australians... that's the hard part. 🇦🇺🐧 Please explain: who gets the gains, and who pays the price?
You heard about the face that launched a thousand ships. Now meet the faces that turned around a thousand voters. 😉 Calm questions. Clear evidence. Less outrage, more accountability. Democracy works best when politicians can answer: Please explain. 🐧 www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Opinion 😉 Evidence is patient. Headlines are not. One whispers, the other shouts. Guess which one most people remember? Before we've weighed the facts, the framing has often already done its job.
🎸 The Grifters – Please Donate Again World Tour. Greatest hits include Money for Nothing, Outrage for Free, Blame It on the Migrants and the chart-topper Please Explain? (Extended Silence). Same playbook. Different accents. 😉🎶
So if donors want weaker work-from-home protections, and most Victorians want the option to work from home when practical... who exactly is One Nation representing?
Outrage Nation thrives on slogans. Democracy thrives on questions. So here's one: if you're lecturing nurses about work ethic and wages, should your own parliamentary record also be open to scrutiny? Please explain. #auspol
A powerful photograph. The people change. The uniforms change. The slogans change. The need to oppose hatred never does.
Outrage feeds outrage. Questions test ideas. The penguin isn't trying to win an argument—it's simply asking for explanations. If a policy can't survive polite follow-up questions, perhaps it needs rethinking.
Every workplace has an elephant. The trick isn't pretending it isn't there... it's measuring how much room it's taking up. 🐘
History has a funny habit of answering slogans with awkward facts. If Australia's 'original monoculture' is the goal, the unintended consequences arrive rather quickly. Please explain. 🐧 I 💕 multiculturalism
Outrage is easy. Evidence takes work. If a political claim can't survive a few calm questions, perhaps the problem isn't the questions. Keep asking. Keep checking. The Department of Things That Never Happened is getting very busy.
We were repeatedly informed that everyone else had "Pauline Derangement Syndrome." So we examined the evidence. Curiously, the symptoms appeared to describe the people making the diagnosis. Projection is a fascinating condition. Read the fine print. 🐧
Unity isn't about everyone becoming the same. It's about different people sharing a nation and common civic values. If "monoculture" means everyone thinks, dresses and blames the same people, that's not unity—it's assimilation. Diversity isn't a bug. It's the feature.
The claim was supplied. The evidence remained in transit. The stated outcome never arrived. Reality arrived early and sat waiting to greet the claims. Curiously, many observers remembered the claim in perfect detail and the subsequent reality not at all. 🐧
