Retired minimalist. Found a place in the Central Wheatbelt of WA. Every day I'm amazed with the resilience of this Earth and the persistent damage we humans inflict upon it through consumerism. Heart failure survivor. O
Trump is an outrage troll doing 24/7 reality TV from the White House. Most people I know think he's DUMBER THAN AN AFRICAN DUNG BEETLE WITH DEMENTIA, but really he is tapping in to social media, clicks and setting the agenda, even though it's obscene, very destructive and has no positive goal.
Out in the bush today with my grandson, he went to work with his imagination, built a bed of sticks and lined them with sphagnum moss and a shelter in the making.
???Rocked??? Known as "slight" and 130 times less intense than the Venezuelan earthquake. Is this the ABC trying to outdo their commercial opponents? Please tell it as it is, not as you imagine.
My Father's father, fought in WWI at ANZAC cove as a Kiwi before being injured and again as a Major in North African as an Australian and career soldier.
My Mother's great grandmother, Josephine, being watched by her devoted negro friend and stable hand as she chases kangaroos on horseback.
My mother's relatives from Beach borough, Kent, the monoculture that Pauline Hanson and Angus Taylor aspires to.
This legal outcome is only making the UK government look like a bunch of fools. israelpalestinenews.org/they-werent-...
Can anyone show me the credible link between migration and the housing market? Migration adds about 1% per year or 10% over a 10 year period, to house price growth and a small fraction of overall price increases. As the graph shows housing prices have risen approx 50% over a 10 year period. #CGT

I predicted Geelong would win with a margin of 27, how wrong was I? This well adjusted team is finding its purpose.
Another unmissable hour and 15 minutes. Love your T-shiirt Dave, same as mine
I've been riding my push bike on the Munda Biddi track in WA. Came across ALCOA's mine on the edge of the Serpentine Lake, Perth's drinking water. Guaranteed to cause serious pollution after torrential downpour. This is not a small campsite, it's a massive scarr. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
I was recently stopped from travelling to Exmouth by Emergency Services and kind people at my prospective accommodation due to tropical cyclone Narelle. I had a non refundable booking through booking.com and I would like to inform everyone that booking.com refunded my booking in full.
I have just finished reading this book about ideology and colonialism, genocide and apartheid and on how Muslim and Palestinian Australians are expected to remain silent as their families die in Gaza and accusers of antisemitism enjoy the protection of White Australia status quo. #RacistAustralia
This dude has fallen off the Radar completely. I guess that's what happens when you become a supporter of AUKUS, Trump & additional supporter of the violent dispossession of Palestinians by the Zionist colonialists. Another disappointment. Let's hope he rebuilds his reputation in Asian diplomacy.
This doesn't age. Pauline Hanson persists with her hate-fueled rhetoric with full support from her billionaire mate Gina Rinehart et al. The great tragedy is that many of our politicians continue to suck up this oxygen, moving further from a progressive platform which we critically need.
@albomp.bsky.social this social disruption is on you. How could you be so blinded by this.
Jack Lindsay on Poetry, art and Nationalism 1923 Australia. The conservative element of Australia hasn't moved very far from the Colony mindset of a hundred years ago. They still think of themselves as a British subject.
One fire south and east of where I live, the Longwood fire, has burnt over 50,000 hectares. I'd suggest with the hundreds of fires burning in Victoria and NSW at the moment, you've missed a zero off your estimate.
THE PALESTINIAN This is a poem written in 2004 and could have been written yesterday with a couple of name changes. It is appalling what an imperial Colonial power is doing, the conflict of genocide and resistance has been ongoing since 1948 and this poem tells a true story from 17 years ago.
The Jewish organisations who reject Jillian Segal's submission to the Government has racist overtones and will only inflame antisemitism and drive division within our multicultural society.
This is the most shocking photograph in history. Jewish women lined up, ready for execution at the ravine. What sort of mania has to exist for this to become a routine? How does it manifest into a need to exterminate humanity not so different from yourself. What a worthless endeavour.
