I am in the old age group whose interests are more in the now and future. I love the concept of space and life changing modern technologies.

@BobBurn97207272 It’s a bit ingrained by now, but I support us being only under one flag. Maybe it’s time to change our flag. Get the competition going for a design that pleases. 🇦🇺 . Design it right and simple.

Outrage and Support: The Fierce National Debate Over Removing Aboriginal Flags from Council Buildings AUSTRALIA – A wave of intense debate is sweeping across the nation as more local councils and political figures propose the removal of the Aboriginal flag from official government buildings. What started as a local policy shift has rapidly transformed into a high-stakes battle over national identity, inclusivity, and the future of reconciliation in Australia. Proponents of the removal argue for "neutrality" in public spaces, suggesting that only the National Australian Flag should fly over civic buildings to represent all citizens under one banner. Supporters of this move claim it simplifies national symbolism and avoids "identity politics" at a local government level. On the other side, the backlash has been swift and powerful. For many Indigenous Australians and their allies, the Aboriginal flag is not just a symbol but a recognition of the oldest living culture on Earth and a vital step toward healing a fractured history. Removing it, they argue, is a "step backward" that erases Indigenous presence from the public eye and undermines years of progress toward unity. As social media feeds blow up with "Yes" or "No" polls, the question remains: Is this a necessary move for national unity, or a deeply divisive act of cultural erasure? Where do you stand? Is it time for one flag for all, or is the removal of the Aboriginal flag an insult to history? Your thoughts in the comments below.

@DrewPavlou I think the Chinese call it kowtowing to the enemy. I just can’t believe we are falling for it. I genuinely feel sick.

Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼
Australian Governor General announced today that she is hosting Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa at Admiralty House - the Secretary General of the Muslim World League. Al-Issa's highlights reel: 1. Calling Jewish hearts harsh as stone, "even harsher" (Quran Radio, "The Obstinacy of the Jews & the Harshness of Their Hearts," 16 August 2014, minute 6:25). 2. Claiming Jews "distorted the Torah" intentionally and wickedly (same sermon, minute 9:10), insisting that they didn't merely twist meaning but altered the actual text - described in his words as "marrying the two uglinesses." 3. Claiming today's Jews remain on the same "deviant path" as their ancestors (same sermon, minute 11:00). 4. Saying Jews are "ashamed" to repeat how Jews describe God because, in his telling, Jewish theology is the most ignorant and ugly conception imaginable (same sermon, minute 16:20). 5. Attacking core Christian theology as fabrication - saying Christians "spoke lies and fabrications" about God having a son (same sermon, minute 17:50). 6. Calling on Jews to "fold into" Muslim society ("God's Call for Jews to Join the Muslim Community," Quran Radio, 19 February 2014, minute 5:40). 7. Saying Jews conceal religious truth out of "ill will, and envy" rather than ignorance - claiming they actually know Islam is true and reject it deliberately ("The Call of God to the Jews to Believe in the Quran," 19 February 2014, minute 9:00).

@Ryandally08 Unfortunately the children are the progeny of traitors. We can’t afford for them to return, let alone their parents. They should seek refuge among Middle East countries. 🇦🇺

Deranged Greens Senator, Sarah Hanson Young, says it “beggars belief” that ISIS “woman and children” who were “trafficked” to Syria are not receiving even more help to return to Australia. “The hypocrisy of the conservatives” “To use their plight as a political football”

@markbouris @GemmaTognini He was an honest PM. A good man. It’s mostly downhill from there. Tony Abbot was ok. Misunderstood I think. Today is disgraceful leadership.

@Lochness4000 @S_GerardRennick You are missing the point. That’s not what she is saying. Foreigners should be unable to buy property. Eg Chinese living in China.

@S_GerardRennick A permanent citizen being forced to hand over their property, paid for with their hard earned money? For what? To appease Hanson? Zimbabwe did that years ago. Look what happened to them. Seriously, is this the path Hanson wants to take us down???? How fucking racist is this?

🚨 This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it.. > Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely.. > Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.. > zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash.. > the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed.. > Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps.. > Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request.. > Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed".. > a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages.. > oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged.. > Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27.. all of this.. one Friday.. if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

@MikeBales Absolutely. It’s pathetic how people are causing division. We have been ignorant in the past about some issues but it’s no excuse for that to continue due to education.

This is worth repeating: I never cared that you were gay until you started shoving it down my throat, and I never cared what color you were until you started blaming me for your problems. I never cared about your political affiliation until you started condemning me for mine. I really never even cared where you were born until you wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for your problems. I never even cared if your beliefs were different from mine until you said my beliefs were wrong. But now I care. My patience and tolerance are gone, and I am not alone in feeling like this. There are millions of us who feel like this.

Mainstream media journo got up me for interfering with their shot while recording this. THE OLD MEDIA FEARS THE NEW!!!!
