On the radio this morning @patskarvelas.bsky.social announced she would be speaking with the Israeli ambassador. The IDF murdered an Australian. To think otherwise would be naive. Why is the @news.abc.net.au giving air time to a spokesperson of the IDF?

Hey @albomp.bsky.social when are you going to do something about the JRG scheme? Until you do I cannot possibly think about a first preference for Labor.

Disappointed that Pyscho Killer didn't feature in the movie. A reason I went to see it was it featured in the trailer. A Private Life opened with it. Didn't like Emma, but then she was playing a lawyer. Favourite characters were the winter lambs (one was a winter ram).

Electric trucks are finally ready for prime time. Could high oil prices speed up the shift?
Diesel powers most freight trucks. As oil prices spike, electric trucks are looking more attractive – if upfront cost and charging barriers can be overcome

At 5:00AM when I walked my dog it was 26C with appalling humidity. There are fires AND flooding in Victoria. What is @albomp.bsky.social doing? Working on hate speech laws that nobody likes. Morrison was doing that just before going to Hawaii to escape the bush fires.

I cannot imagine what a rabble would look like to Littleproud.
"Mr Littleproud – who said the six-month squabble to get to Sunday’s announcement was a “calm, considered process” – also said the Nationals Party “believes in reducing emissions” as a “core principle”."

The Australian: A growing number of moderate Liberal MPs are pulling their support for Sussan Ley and are backing Andrew Hastie to be the next leader, arguing she has caved to his agenda and he has a better chance of lifting the Coalition’s stocks electorally.
