Lives on unceded Dharug land in Australia. Loves science, history, & writing fiction & non-fiction. Would love to ignore politics but with the rise of the far right & bigotry, can no longer opt out. No DMs please.

Remember during the pandemic the western NSW town where the average life expectancy of Aboriginal people was 38 for women and 36 for men? I wonder what was done to improve those numbers?

Don’t listen to religious extremist and warmonger Hegseth and his sycophantic mate Marles who claims “shared values” with this obnoxious and dangerous fool. Military experts, politicians, diplomats peace activists, unions, faith groups all oppose the madness that is AUKUS.

Not many Aussie farmers left these days, mainly just corporations....Gough tried "buying back the farm" back in the 70s and we all know what happened to him.

This is beyond diabolical. ‘In Queensland, a state health staffer sent a spreadsheet listing more than 100 examples of “unexpected IAT outcomes” to the federal government on 18 November. In all but a few cases, the algorithm had under-assessed the person’s needs.’

Why can the US access so many Australian military bases, and could they drag us unwillingly into war? - podcast

Dotted like an outline around parts of Australia's coast are military bases - the majority of which the US has control of or access to. Now a special Guardian investigation reveals the breadth of Donald Trump's US military presence in the country, to a scale that the Australian public might not be aware of. Some analysts are warning it represents a 'saturation' or 'colonisation' of the Australian continent.

Senior reporter Ben Doherty speaks to Reged Ahmad about whether America's strong military presence in Australia could drag us unwillingly into war

The Guardian and Ben Doherty have delivered a must read/ listen expose of how Marles, the ALP and Coalition have allowed the military colonisation of Australia by the Trump regime. This reinforces the importance of the AUKUS Public Inquiry. AUKUS a dangerous, disgusting sellout.

An Iranian woman left Islam for Christianity. In Iran, that’s a death sentence. She fled to America for refuge. We’re deporting her to the Central African Republic — a country the State Dept says “do not travel to for any reason.” The GOP isn’t defending Christianity. It’s killing it.
