My brother & partner came back from there a few days ago. Looked stunning. He's done alot of travel & said it was just about the best place he has ever been. Already saving to go back. Had some incredible bird shots too. The weather was "19" when we asked. Which he loved. Day and night, "19". :)

Yes. I don't trust Shoebridge after his Ukraine dismissal

Beautiful. Just enough to keep too many people wanting to live there. Would love to live in Hobart - this would not put me off but I'm sure it does others

I was heading there. Until Shoebridge decided it was ok - in fact good - to throw Ukraine to the Russian (and obviously American) wolves.

Penny Wong has had 24 hours, but still nothing. No statement of concern, no raised eyebrow... and no late signing of this very reasonable joint statement of foreign ministers. The Australian govt's craven failure to say [let alone do] anything critical of the Trump regime is humiliating. #auspol

Be warned! If you're a pro-Palestine Victorian voter: Melbourne-based pro-Israel activist Avi Yemini, who served in Israel's military, has registered the fake Pro-Palestine Party for the upcoming Victorian election. Yemini's goal: redirect votes to right wing, pro-Israel parties. #auspol #springst

If Hanson "seems more and more like the de facto opposition leader", it's because legacy media - glosses over the racism - avoids testing her 'policies' - ignores disinformation that drives her support, and - rarely mentions PHON's #FarRight links. In short; keeps giving her an easy ride. #auspol

#Food such as cereals & bread, as well as carrots, apples & peas have lost 20 to 50% of several key nutrients since the 1960s, including minerals like potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc, iron, selenium & folate. Cause: #Capitalism www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home... #Collapse #Neoliberalism

Vegetables are half as nutritious than 60 years ago. Experts now know why
Fewer than a third of wheat varieties used in bread released since the 1960s meet the recommended zinc target, due to poor soil quality

The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.

Thankyou. But I’m curious -can we ignore the driver of a scorned mega-wealthy donor behind it all? Pushing social media / new media to saturate consumers with ‘mass immigration’ and ‘communist’ fear?

The covid lockdowns showed that reducing immigration has barely an impact on housing prices. However axing the CGT credit did. 👉 Why are some still pretending that there is a problem which reducing immigration will solve? Because it gets them votes.

One person has died in Russia and the media's hair is on fire. So far this year, the DRC has reported 9000+ cases and 3700+ deaths from Ebola, a disease with an almost 50% mortality rate. The Trump has cut aid funding, while front line medical workers go unpaid. The media's response...crickets.

Q: If Project 2025 was a blueprint for destroying America, why did 77M MAGAts vote for Trump?! A: Some didn’t believe he’d do it, many didn’t care if he did, and most didn’t know about Project 2025 at all because FOX News didn’t cover it.

DHS reportedly collected data about anti-ICE protestors in Maine, uploading their photos and license plate numbers into a database. That database was built by Palantir — which may be the most dangerous corporation in America. Watch.

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.
