The ALP need to realise they will be criticised whatever they do, so how about do things that are good? And do things to please those who voted for you not those who never will.
The AFR run a 2 year campaign to get the ALP to weaken the changes to super tax concessions to make it easier to avoid paying the tax.

The ALP does it.

The AFR criticises the ALP for weakening the policy because people can avoid paying the tax.

Moro's carrot soup. Great recipe to keep handy for any gastro type illness, really helped family members recently. Basically cook half a kg of chopped carrots in plenty of water for at least 1.5 hours, puree, add water to make a total of 1 litre and add one teaspoon salt.

"Australians are no closer to learning what changes Hegseth’s department is seeking to #AUKUS"

That's the problem.

US-sycophant Marles
has secret talks with fascist war criminal Hegseth
about a 'deal' for Australia to hand over $370b+
to be Trump's lapdog. #auspol

Marles refuses 12 times to say what the Americans want in AUKUS review
Marles and Foreign Minister Penny Wong met their American counterparts Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio in Washington for annual talks amid what Rubio called “real momentum” in the alliance.

Fuligo Septica on a tree stump. It's a plasmodial slime mould, amazing organisms, not a fungus, plant or animal.

True hero Nanna.
Big hugs for Nanna Alex who has just made it back to the beach after her arrest. She’s here with @risingtideaus.bsky.social and says she decided to take direct action to stop the coal ships because as a Professor of Public Health she knows the risks. Wake up #auspol #RisingTide #ClimateAction

What a genuinely outstanding book. First Tasmanians by Shayne Breen brings together so much research about the history of Aboriginal culture in #Tasmania, from resilience through the Ice Age, through thriving in a challenging environment, resistance to the genocide and recent revitalisation. 📖👏

Finally finished the cage to keep the lemon tree safe from wildlife. We're optimistic! The old set up wasn't secure enough and the possums got to it a few months ago 😭

Better have yearly international meetings on how to put the fire out with delegates coming from all over the world including lobbysits from flamethrower companies
#COP30
A fire erupted in a pavilion of the UN’s climate talks in Brazil today, forcing panicked delegates to run for the exits and disrupting tense negotiations among ministers from around the world.

Lovely young man Josh gave us a tour of Derwent Valley Fungi and we got a couple of kits to start our mushroom growing experiment. Great small local business at Granton near Hobart, if you want gourmet mushrooms for Christmas or kits as gifts!

Good morning from Snug, Tasmania. The water was warmer than the air today. No seals or sharks, just Morag the dog shivering after her recent haircut.

We can expect the men in power to seal off more of the openings as their “society” depends on trapping women into serving as their safety net.

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women.

Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net.

Writing HOLDING IT TOGETHER was a labor of love and fury and I'm so grateful to share it with you all #PubDay
