The shameless hypocrisy of Andrew Forrest
The awarding of a pitiful $150 million in compensation to the long-suffering Yindjibarndi people may be the apex moment in Twiggy’s life mission as a false prophet.

OK posting this pic again because grammar in the last one was weird. This is red wild caught sockeye salmon from Alaska which you can buy in just about any supermarket - it’s frozen, and tastes 100% better than any farmed toxic fish from Tasmania or anywhere else - ethical choices.

What’s lost in this budget debate
It is disturbing how the reforms to capital gains tax have thrown the opposition and their conservative media mates into a frenzy. It is not surprising that the ‘losers’ or potential losers will shout the loudest, but it is disappointing that serious efforts were not made to reflect genuine concerns and inadequacies – to improve the main initiatives, rather than just can them.

When women are in relationships with men who work in the same industry it is inevitable that her celebrated achievements are thanks to him, and that his celebrated achievements are also thanks to him. It is truly maddening to read, and even more maddening to know that this still happens today.

if you ever feel constrained by the dictum not to speak of ill of the dead, this is a great moment to share your memories of what an abomination Rudy Giuliani is — as in this reminder of his consumate awfulness long before he made himself an absolute grotesque for Trump
Saying this now, just in case -
- New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him
- Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan)
- Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them
