A rabbit hole I, Alice, fell into.

A friend sends me some white lilies, with a cryptic allusion to Fassbender and Laurie Anderson. I'll look it up, I say.

Scientists love to debate and argue, but if there are 3 things every scientist absolutely agrees on, it's that:

1. Climate change is real
2. Vaccines work
3. Those are NOT dire wolves 😤

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

I’m sorry, this might be a great investigation, but “as it was never intended” is obscene. This is precisely how many people specifically and repeatedly told us — warned us — it would be used.

A major investigation is underway, an Australian first, unearthing a long-buried history hidden from the national narrative.

It’s called Yoorrook, the Wemba Wemba word for “truth”.

Australia has a painful past. For the first time, the country has been grappling with recording the stories of that history in a truth-telling commission.

If you are shopping at COLES or WOOLWORTHS in Australia you are facilitating gouging, shrink inflation and gaslighting

If you shop elsewhere permanently then you can join other Australians and send a strong community message to them that we will not be played by predators
In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers…

Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers!

That’s the power we have as consumers.

Remember that.

This pic of mine is currently on display in the Australian Embassy in Berlin as part of the 'Climate Change in Focus' exhibition. Just heard that some photos will be removed once the election is called for reasons of "political sensitivities". Yeah, let's pretend that climate change isn't a thing.

These lies don't work because the speaker is eloquent or persuasive.

The lies work, because the listener is both racist and gullible.

When you understand this, you'll understand that Hitler was not a good public speaker, nor was he charismatic. At all. He was really bad at all of those things.

The ACCC supermarket inquiry has revealed what we already knew: that Australia's big supermarkets have some of the highest profit margins in the world.

Their gain = your pain.

We've been saying this for years: high inflation was caused by big companies price gouging & taking extra profit. #auspol
