Attempted Terrorist attack in WA targeting #InvasionDay Protesters *yesterday* - thankfully bomb failed to explode.
Waiting for pourings of outage from usual list: Albanese, Ley, Premiers, Segal, Howard, Newscorp etc etc.
oh wait - Zionists weren't targeted - it's #crickets once again.

How animals are staying cool at Werribee Open Range Zoos (from The Guardian Australia live news feed).
It's reached 41.7°C already where I am - some parts of Vic already exceeding 46°C. Stay safe & cool everyone!

Sharing this again for 2026. It's not f&cking rocket science & it's not that hard to do or understand why we need to do it.

Being rejected from Trump's 'Board of War Criminals' is a modern day badge of honor - Carney should print this out, frame it and hang it in a prominent place.
If you're being invited to this board (cough Albanese) & you haven't refused you are clearly doing something wrong as a leader.

Libs can't form a gov without Nats/Coalition so whatever plays out with leadership that's the inevitable conclusion. For ALP it's 100% about staying in power for sake of being in power & they've figured out the best way to do that is leaning as far right as possible to steal LNP/ON voters.

Reality check: The LNP leadership is a poison chalice that I'd imagine Taylor/Hasting strategically didn't want to go near until at least 6mo out from the fed election. Ley was simply their useful idiot for opening up the Overton Window on all the extreme/stupid intended policies until then.

The Guardian have officially called Ley's leadership time of death at 4:21PM AEDT.
That is - it's definitely deceased, demised, expired, bereft of life, passed on, kicked the bucket, pushing up daisies, ceased to be & gone to meet it's maker.

BREAKING: Sussan Ley has announced that this Sunday will be declared a 'National Day of Mourning' for the Coalition.
This will coincide with the proposed 28-day 'Schadenfreude Ban' to be enforced commencing tonight - providing ALP can stop laughing long enough to vote it in.

Is it now illegal to say the Australian government are a pack of spineless, soulless, compromised, genocide approving, bottom feeding cunts without a single moral fiber between the lot of them, or would that be considered hate speech?

It's starting to look like the Sussan Ley's shadow cabinet is even less popular than the Adelaide Writers Week 2026.
I can't wait for the entire Coalition to be cancelled.

The dark arts - The Shot
The ideology of the Israel lobby in Australia is this - burn it to the ground rather than ever allow an opposing voice.

Apple Store/Connect/Testflight having an extremely bad hair day today (has been 3+ hrs now) - causing a lot of issues for App I'm working on (can't get new test builds out). Don't think I have seen an outage this bad from Apple in a long time - hope it's fixed soon.

Vale Rob Hirst, the insanely talented drummer from Midnight Oil. I was lucky enough to see him/MO live in a reasonably small venue (The Palace/St Kilda, Vic) - his drumming nearly blew the roof off and us away.

Won't criticize Trump over Venezuela, Greenland or what ICE is doing. Won't stick up for Australians & get us out of AUKUS. Won't condemn Israel or mention the word genocide.
I'm beginning to suspect the "Quiet Australians" Morrison was referring to was actually Albanese, Wong and the ALP.

Reality check: people yelling 'Heil H*tler' are almost 99% guaranteed to be white supremacists & people that would attend anti-immigration protests.
