I’d love it if someone could recommend a competent, trustworthy, honest and reasonable re-roofing specialist on the Gold Coast.

Opinion | Why did Australia withdraw from imposing trade sanctions on Israeli businesses in the illegally occupied West Bank? Let's speculate, writes Rachel Withers. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/25/a...

Did Australia ditch supporting West Bank sanctions all for a plum security council seat?
Why did Australia withdraw from recent West Bank sanctions talks? The ABC didn’t speculate, but I will.

Curious the media ban was immediately followed by the launch of Trump TV. Am I the only one that thinks this might just have been orchestrated?

I admit I continue to be gobsmacked (though I shouldn’t be) by the amount of people that still cannot distinguish between criticism of mass killings of children, aid & health workers; whilst denying a group of people a country of their own; and anti-semitism. Sigh.

Always worth remembering, the only reason we see Barnaby so much on TV is because Hanson, despite 30 years as a politician, cannot find a coherent thought with a map, flash light and two days worth of rations. ABC etc should stop giving Barnaby the free air time and demand the leader of the party.

I often wonder, in a completely non-professional capacity, that Pauline Hansen may well be a rather nasty unhappy woman. Above all that, I also note she has created a lucrative career from peddling hate, division & othering; & aligning herself with right-wing provocateurs. She seems … 1/2

*scratches head* My streamer gives me a (lengthy) category called “pick up where you left off”. Yet for every suggestion they make I’ve watched EVERY episode of EVERY season. Make it make sense! (Maybe it’s aimed at our friends who keep voting for the leopard ate my face party … too soon?)

We now face a fundamentally catastrophic outcome from three different sources. Not enough appears to be happening to circumvent them. War in the Middle East & Ukraine, AI and Climate Change. Any one of these could escalate. We’ve had sooooo many warnings!

How Pauline Hanson kicked satire out the back door
The One Nation leader successfully fought against satire aimed at her in the 1990s. Now she’s vowing to fight for her right to satirise others.

On the Patricia Karvelas Conservative normalisation hour, the LNP is saying they are very concerned about our national science results. They are very concerned about science. Except when it comes to climate change, CSIRO funding, University funding, and biodiversity. Then science is less important.

Given we in Oz have insufficient electricians (for data centres apparently) & tradesmen to build houses (we have a housing crisis) - I’m wondering how cutting migration is going to help. Now I read cutting migration will drive us towards recession. Please Mr Prime Minister - make it make sense! 🤷
