Many thanks.

I’m appalled that people thought it smart to boo Welcome to Country ceremonies at Anzac Day dawn services.
I especially acknowledge Bunurong elder Mark Brown who welcomed us cartoonists at our conference in St Kilda a few years ago. He is decent, kind man who deserves respect. I am so sorry.

And note the Murdoch tabloid rags scraping along the bottom…
I don't usually post about things because, like opinion polls, they can go up and down, but this result for @australia.theguardian.com is pretty amazing. Fourth most reads news site in the country. Such a credit to the entire team. Thank you to our readers and supporters. 👏

🚨25 women and have already been killed in 2025. 103 women and 16 children were killed in 2024. Men’s violence against women is domestic terrorism.
Women and children‘s safety needs to take centre stage in this election yet neither major party has announced any additional measures.

Australia is selling its gas to Japan so cheaply, that Japan is selling it again to other countries!
But Big Gas wants us to think we have a shortage problem, not an export problem.

Also worth remembering that it does not require a change in Australia's Constitution re; deporting people. It simply requires legislation, not a Constitutional referendum.
Dutton knows that.
Do any Australian media ask educated questions anymore, or do they just breathlessly repeat shite?

There's a large community of us on here and the other hell site that desperately want to see Dutton gone, and rightfully so. There's a real chance he could lose his seat so I think it's time to get behind @alifrance.bsky.social and donate whatever we can. 💪
