Last Notes npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave I've started meming against One Nation. Please share! npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Cutting through all the post-budget housing froth, the ABC’s Michael Janda reckons the flattening of home values foreshadows a very big shift. Imagine two decades with NO capital gains on real estate! #auspol #realestate #housing npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson tried a gotcha moment in Estimates, implying that SBS cooked their Eurovision jury vote by giving Israel 0 points (part of her ‘defund ABC and SBS’ obsession). But the jury could vote only for the top ten out of 35 countries, so she totally misunderstood the voting process and reality, proving herself a fool and a pro-Israel shill. #auspol #Liberals #Eurovision npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave This is hilarious. npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave It’s olive picklin’ time in Australia. So many people don’t harvest them and they are wasted. This is the simplest method IMO: Just pack them raw with cooking salt in jars and give them a turn/shake now and then. After a couple of weeks they are soft, so give them a couple of rinse cycles (maybe one day each?) to reduce the salt. That’s it. #gardening npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave So all of Gina Rinehart's bot army could not sway the courts, which have determined she ripped off her father's business partners for hundreds of millions in mining royalties, which won't make much of a dent in her billions. She will appeal of course. Lawyers' picnic. npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Meanwhile Australia’s opposition leader Angus ‘well done’ Taylor says asylum seekers from any country being bombed by Israel should stay there and take their chances. #auspol npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave “Norway gets $16,300 per citizen from its resources. Australia gets $50. Same planet. Our choice.” #auspol #taxLPG npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave IS THIS THE SPEECH OF THE DECADE? Amy Remeikis comes out with guns blazing on the back of her new book 'Where It All Went Wrong: The Case Against John Howard'. If you are sick of political doublespeak and sick of our dysfunctional economy, you will love this. I'm buying the book!! Please boost! @npub1q20…9h53 #JohnHoward npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Say what you like, the rubbish was never there. I was. The 'clean' pic was posted to show the original to which the rubbish was added. npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Holy smoke, climate denying trolls are making fake pictures showing a huge mess left behind by the Rising Tide blockade on Newcastle’s Horseshoe Beach. Here’s the original pic vs the fake, which has apparently spread widely on social media. #auspol #AI #fakenews #risingtide npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave With our timid new emissions target of 62-70% reduction by 2035, Australia joins much of the world in sentencing us to a 3-degree warming. Bugger the science! Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts. #auspol #climatechange npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Ha ha I do love a word-salad from Mad Matt Canavan. On RN this morning he ranted over the host, blaming rising energy prices on renewables while blaming loss of heavy industries on gas because it's too expensive. Hmmmn. He repeated by rote some outdated factoids, eg that China is burning record amounts of coal (it's actually reducing) and cyclones are not "increasing" as the new State of the Climate report says. I presume he means "not increasing in number" because they are becoming more intense. See reply for Google's verdict on this! #auspol #LNP #climatechange #renewables npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave So the Trumpies are losing their sh*t blaming 'radical leftists' for the Charlie Kirk assassination, pushing the lie that political violence comes from those nasty liberals (rather than from the gun-loving Republicans). But it's not true: npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave One current lie spouted by the LNP is that Australia's emissions under Labor have only just matched those under the last Liberal government. That would be because their incumbency included two years of Covid shutdowns and flight bans. Minor detail, never mentioned. #auspol #climate #climatechange npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Fibre also does not interfere with astronomy. npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave We have produced this 4-minute chant/vid clip/dance track to celebrate Rising Tide's huge 'protestivals' against new coal and gas, mostly shot in the beautiful Newcastle Harbour. Enjoy! and PLEASE SHARE!

Their spin-doctors must be working overtime to come up with euphemisms for mass murder. One politician even repeated the old lie that the IDF is 'the most moral army in the world'. #Israel, #Gaza, #Spin npub1j09tz6w7uga3dhchcl759saydkkwaf4re4ude44mr6txlf2qdg2s7vxtlu Cloudslave Newly minted shadow treasurer Ted 'Talk' O'Brien has switched from bullshitting about nuclear to bullshitting about Labor's superannuation move, horrified that it will reduce the tax breaks his wealthy mates enjoy. On AM this morning he claimed that if this tax is changed Labor will then come after the family home!!! Scary-campaigny!!. He also resurrected that nonsense term 'family recession' instead of the accurate 'per-capita recession', talking down to the electorate in warm cuddly motherhood terms. That amorphous phrase 'Liberal values' got a workout too, to wit 'lower taxes' (for the rich). #auspol
