Thank you for your service AK82.

Shame about the impending homeless you’re facing, just pretend the Victorian Government cares. #SpringSt #SaveTheHeritageFleet #auspol
Did you know?
In 1943 (until 1946) the Alma Doepel was requisitioned by the Australian Army, refitted and renamed AK82, and used as an army supply vessel running from Townsville and Darwin to Papua New Guinea. Development Victoria is choosing to make AK82 homeless within just weeks.

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

A genuine man of the people is our Andrew Hastie, patron of an exclusive gun club.

It is fun that he applied for funds for solar panels.

That MPs get a taxpayer slush fund of $150,000 per annum to spend on keeping their electorate sweet is fun too. Did you know?

This is $450,000 per term, per electorate. Plus interest on that money, let’s call it half a million. $75,000,000 per term of government for small re-election bribes.

Next time you’re waiting hours in a hospital emergency waiting room, think what this money could do.
