I am still in mourning for my fur babies some 12 months later. And sorry I don't want to make it about them but feel your pain and loss because nothing can replace the love you get from a dog. No one else loves you like a dog. Hope you will be ok.

I love living in a country where voting is compulsory and voting is on a non-work day. So on a Saturday I go to vote - all I need to do is to get my name crossed off the electoral roll to say I turned up. If I want too I can throw my my ballots in the bin.

Every time I read about someone losing their much loved dog I remember my brother and sister fur babies that I lost in the past 18 months. The heart never heals but the love never stops.

I had two puppies, a brother and a sister, we had him for sixteen years and we lost her a year later less than a year ago. They are family not dogs.

Why can't the super rich tech billionaires do something good for their own country like building and supporting free hospitals that allow americans to have access to healthcare rather than going bankrupt

It has become really clear that America is no longer the leader of the free world. I think Germany, Britain and France are vying for that title. Who want's to tell Trump?

I am back from visitng Auschwitz. Peole are forgetting that anti-semitism led to extreme acts against jewish people. I do not condone the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza but I do not blame every jewish person for what is happening.

Nope all hay when there is no grass in the paddock. Every year two paddocks get shut down to harvest hay. And I am an ex city girl who lives and watches a farm in action. Not perfect but this is what I see.

My mums cattle are grass fed and fed out in winter from hay she harvested off her farm in spring/summer.

I am a meat eater and most of my meals involve 0.5 kg of beef to feed two people with left overs for lunch the next day. So tell me what don't I get. And my mum if a beef farmer

They think the Holocaust has given them a get out of jail free card. It doesn't - it should make them the greatest protectors of oppressed minorities that the world has ever known. I stand with Anne Frank.

The war in Palestine is now Israel's Holocaust. The world will not forgive them.

They are only Muslims getting killed seems to be the mindset. They are innocents and they are killing aid workers because apparently everyone is Hamas. This will be Israel's Holocaust and they will have to live with the consequences of their actions.

I think antisemitism is being weaponised for other purposes. I think there are bad faith actors in this. And I abhor this because it diminishes the holocaust and the horrors that were committed by the Nazis

I will vote in person as I have always done. Out on a plane the next day to Poland so probably won't see the results.

I have spent several hours today getting my healthcare sorted out before I go on a holiday. Covid done, flue done, shingles can wait but my hepatitis vaccine status needs to be checked. Glad I grew up in the 60s when we got why vaccines are so important. It cost me $130 and I will get $80 back.

Even from the far shores of Australia I am so pleased to hear this result.

Even from Australia I will be watching this. I am just hoping that these elections are Trump rebuttals and if so there is hope.

Thank you for your beautiful photos. I live just across the ditch but have never been. I was going in 2020 but this thing called Covid happened.

Now getting multiple followers per day (thank you someone). But as I go through and vet these new followers the piece of joy I get from almost everyone of them is not only do they love their democracy but they their love animals. Do psychopaths like animals?

So much for the assurances given to that Republican Doctor who voted yes. Guess you can flush that down the toilet with the rest of American democracy. If the President so desires.

We will take your best and brightest in Australia. Isn't it truly tragic that the country that once provided a home for Albert Einstein now faces the exodus of it's own intelligentsia.

This is the shitty thing about history - it is usually in the short term written by the victor. Over time things adjust which is why so many of us visit Hiroshima and wonder about man's inhumanity. I am visiting Auschwitz in May and I still hate Netanyahu for what he is doing to Palestine.

I have never thought I would be interested in watching the outcomes of a Canadian election but this Australian will be watching this year.

Trump is unwittingly destroying America because his ego is so fragile that he can only do things in his own interest and not the county's. God is not blessing Trump's America.

Fascinating to learn this. Is it the entertainment industry in California or is there more to it? Seriously interested to learn.

Australia has got its own elections coming up and I am rusted on to one party but I think the electorate is going to have to choose between a rock and a hard place. I think America voted for razzle dazzle over same old same. I would have preferred same old same.
