Politicians already on ten to twenty times more than a person on jobseeker rorting public money to pay off their second home. We need Change.

#booksky Remember the days when covers were lucky to have a title on them? The front and back covers of this fantastic book tell you what you need to know - go beyond the words though - the photos strongly suggest Outback Australia. In fact way outback.

Why doesn’t a journo have the courage & decency to say to Barnaby ‘I’m going to end this interview, you appear unwell, do you need help?’. The dude needs serious help. I hate his politics & everything One Nation stands for. I also hate the MSM that think it’s some sort of funny sport. It’s not.

Bees are indispensable: Around 75% of global crops depend at least partially on pollinators. That's why, in 2018, France became the first country in the world to ban five bee-harming neonicotinoid pesticides.
