Our dog loves a stick
People love seeing him with a stick. The bigger the better. We have so many photos with a stick but we’ve found out it’s ground down his K9 incisors almost to the nerves. He could get pain from this and they may need to be removed.
I wish we hadn’t encouraged the sticks.

I see all these wonderful posts where a variety of Australian birds are congregating at feeders and I’m so jealous.
All we got was Sulphur Crested Cockatoos and it took us months to stop them coming after they started ripping up our decking and destroying our fences.

I’m 10mins drive from the town centre and want to get a bike but to get into the city I’m either sharing the road with traffic or sharing the pavement with pedestrians 2/2

Australia is all about the outdoors lifestyle, fresh air and exercise. Sports fields, pedestrianised streets for outdoor cafes and window shopping and beautiful parks yet so little thought for cycling. 1/2

As a gay man, we just want trans people to live in peace
As for the men in women’s spaces, if you’ve been in a gay club toilet on a Saturday night it’s the women in men’s spaces that is prolific and no one cares
We just want to go to the loo with a friend and get back to dancing.

What SHOULD Australia learn from Norway's approach to taxing resources?

Norway struck oil in the 60s. Now it has trillions. This is how Australia compares

Norway struck oil in the 1960s. Now, almost a quarter of its national budget is funded through its sovereign wealth fund. How does Australia compare with taxing its resources?

That’s the thing I don’t understand. Surely no one sets out to make a shit film, especially not one that costs 30million. At which point does it go wrong?

So clever but it’s amazing how hard it is to find the original artists.
agiftfrontodd on TikTok sang the original.
ken.sandberg added his backing vocals
Then brownchubbybear put some graphics on it and posted it.

It’s impossible to change the algorithm. I’ve tried not interacting with anything US and hitting the “Show less like this” button but nothing seems to change.

If somebody wants to donate to a political party because they support the aims of that party, they should do it anonymously.

Wow. It’s so sad that someone showing a shred of decency can get me so emotional.

I have often collected a few and pushed them down to the shopping centre when walking the dogs.
I reported one to the trolly hotline and they took 6 weeks to collect it. 🤬

I live in Figtree in NSW and the slogan should be “Home of the Abandoned Trolly”
They are littered all over the streets and often get pushed into the river.
It infuriates me.
