First lived in Sydney’s inner west when it was called a “slum”. Writes about art, sometimes. Owned by 2 dogs. Strangers who dm me will be blocked
Tim Wilson tells the world he’s never lived in a fibro house, or been too poor to turn the heater on in winter #auspol
True, this. Shame on you, ABC “management”. Of course, Gina Rinehart has no shame. That’s her problem, not those of young filmmakers #auspol
@jennaprice.bsky.social in the @canberratimes.bsky.social serves a Triple Whammy to Albanese for his subservience to the big boys of gambling, football & media - none of whom give 2 hoots for those they drive to ruin (or suicide) #gambling
From @dropsitenews.com An Israeli court has stopped Ben-Gvir from placing crocodiles in a moat around one of their prisons for Palestinians because of cruelty – to crocodiles #Palestine
Isn’t this her official portrait? It’s far more realistic than the others
Waleed Ali on IT making life impossible, while pretending convenience It reminds me of my experience of trying to access the well advertised BP Rewards via AGL only to be told that the app “is not available in your country”
This, by the excellent @jennaprice.bsky.social reminds me of the comment by the former school principal of the murderer of Lily James. He saw the obsessed killer as a fine young man #misogyny
I continue to be thankful that the voters of the ACT elected @davidpocock.bsky.social to parliament #copyright #auspol
Essential reading by @jennaprice.bsky.social on the Murdoch campaign against Shane Drumgold & Brittany Higgins #auspol
Superb @sydmorningherald.bsky.social article by Malcolm Knox on the last taboo insult - and Pauline Hanson #auspol
One rule for Antoinette Latouffe, another for a less than funny man – or maybe @abcnewsbot.bsky.social has finally learnt something about industrial relations
This heading in the progressive Israeli newspaper @haaretzcom.bsky.social brings to mind that great saying of Sergeant Major Williams in It Ain’t Half Hot Mum: “O dear, how sad, never mind”
Clinton Fernandez in @sydmorningherald.bsky.social is telling it like it is - but MacArthur’s post WWII policy is now seriously out of date
Sound advice on the essential changes to capital gains tax & negative gearing (especially the cartoon!)
Memo: @albomp.bsky.social @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social Don’t piss off older Australians, or you might annoy a National Treasure
So Jillian Segal is using her paid position as “Anti-Semitism Envoy” to create the very conditions to encourage hostility towards Jewish people
Thankyou Tom Hird in @sydmorningherald.bsky.social for clearly explaining the changes to capital gains tax & why they are fair
It’s a huge exhibition – curated by Bruce McLean who also curated the GOMA one. Lots of old friends, but also some stunners I didn’t know eg homages to Margaret Preston on a giant scale incorporating kitsch “Aboriginal influenced” Australiana fabric
Says it all, really. A Tony Albert work on black velvet at the Tony Albert exhibition at the MCA Sydney
This is possibly my favourite drawing at the Tony Albert exhibition at the MCA, Sydney
Hiroshima. A city that understands the human consequences of arrogant governments & military strategies
I found this beautiful rose, named in honor of Anne Frank in Osaka’s Nakanoshima Rose Garden. A reminder that most of the victims of hate have nothing to do with the wars that kill them
Spotted in a shop selling military models in Den-Den Osaka #Ukraine
