No Ahmed did not come across the gunman. (Age) He was sitting having a coffee. Saw the situation. Said to his companion “ I am going down to die. Tell my family I tried to save lives “ and off he went. Just incredible.

I guess knee jerk is the go. Pretty sure Islamic State sympathisers follow gun laws. Also respond really well to community education campaigns. FFS. Just stare straight at the camera. Repeat after me. “We really fucked up. Will do better”

that feeling on realising how crowded is the place you come every year. That a factor may be the glowing reviews you write. #travel

one excellent journalist in nsw asked the relevant question. Where is the evidence that this sort is shooter is deterred by community education campaigns? Or anything in the inquiry recommendations?

I just assumed the man disarming the gunman was Mossad. What an incredible act, what an outstanding person.

to the persons who hacked the comprehensive MRP poll to look like One Nation will win 12 seats. You are operating on a whole new level. Incredible work. #auspol

this reminds me of the tourists in Iceland that would jump over the barrier rather than pay the $2 fee for using the toilet. People. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-14/truck-drivers-suggest-paying-to-improve-rest-stops/106130764 #travel
Truckies suggest paying to use new rest stops in regional Australia
Truck drivers sick of dirty, damaged rest facilities have floated the idea of charging an access fee in regional Australia.

This amazing story shows how Australians view everything through the impact on house prices. This is quite insane but I have absolutely no idea how to stop it. #ai #realestate https://youtu.be/f4xsWkYUB2g?si=1XZ8hlI7jj2J_peF

I have enjoyed my Vline ebike tours. This is typical of some of the country I have been through. With the ban on bikes converted to ebikes I will have to find alternatives. It has been wonderful and I will miss it. But I'm still pedalling so there is that. #ebikes

in #gardening news, caught the rat that has been doing kamakaze dives onto the netting and trying to eat through. The peanut butter to the rats is equivalent to heroin. Cannot resist it.

Laura (abc) on US security statement is good. For Australia, your prime security partner is a rabid fascist who has a notion to fiddle in the East China Sea at the same time as saying their only focus is the American continent? They are completely odious, weak and unreliable #auspol

travel scandal reminds me of when I had a big corporate travel allowance. My colleagues would arrive places in helicopters. But me being me I went by public transport. I will never forget the look on the Silicon Valley executive as he learned that I had arrived on the train. (the problem with […]

grandson is very interested in rich people. I suspect Mr Beast (YouTube) may be responsible. So I tell him about McKenzie Scott and the joys of giving away large sums of money with no strings attached https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacKenzie_Scott

Youngest grandchild starts school next year. So I am at the end of ten years of minding small children at least one day a week and sometimes up to four days a week. I am quite sad this is coming to an end. If you get a chance to do this then I strongly recommend it :-)

five storey Bayside car park. Literally not a park on any floor. Cars circling looking for a park. In I go on the ebike straight to the bike rack right next to Aldi. In and out in ten minutes :-)

my trolling of the Dept of Transport is arcing up. Today's effort:

Ebikes on trains.

Consultation on the change in regulations finished in August. The page says that implementation is in late 2025. In case you have been living under a rock, it is now late 2025. Us normal humans who don’t spend […]
