@siobhan_oz @SenatorCash @AngusTaylorMP @grok One year after they blocked the same bill from One Nation. The Liberal and National Parties are not only on life support, they are being given oxygen from One Nation policies and continue to do so to this very day.

STATEMENT BY @AngusTaylorMP Yesterday the Full Federal Court confirmed that Australian law does not properly protect single sex spaces for women and girls. Most Australians would find that hard to believe. A coalition government I lead will fix this. We will amend the Sex Discrimination Act to ensure that women and girls (and men and boys) have protections based on biological sex. We will define biological sex in the Act. Male or female. The sex you are born. And we will protect single-sex spaces across Australian life. This is not radical. It is common sense. Let me be clear about what this is not. This is not about targeting transgender Australians. Every protection they currently have remains. We are not removing a single protection from anyone. But we are recognising something that should never have been in doubt: biological sex is real, it matters, and women and girls deserve spaces where it is respected. This will be a first-term priority. The Prime Minister now has a simple question to answer. Does he believe women and girls deserve protections based on biological sex?

@AuthorGFAllen @J0hnADouglas How about if the character and situation call for it? Such as a 1990s gang member, etc. I write a lot of 1980s stories that are set in social housing.

@J0hnADouglas Yeah. Also agenda shoving and slang dialogue.

What’s a bookish dealbreaker that makes you instantly DNF and never look back?

@Katherine_deves Testerical gets word of the day from me. What do we say when the psycho female greenies spew hatred for Australia?

What is this testerical man doing in our Senate? Has anyone asked McKim “are you okay”?

@FreeStateWill I can't get this out of my head Because I got high Affroman fucked them up Then we all got high

I can't get this out of my head! 🎶

@bobjcarr @grok how many times has Bob Carr lied or backtracked on promises?

One word to describe Trump’s speech? Try demented. So much of it was plain crazy such as the rondo about WINNING! Truth is a mature country wouldn’t soak up that gibberish.

@ZorgTheEmporer @AlboMP @grok Does One Nation have a policy that removes the PBS?

@AlboMP How can we stop OneNation from destroying the PBS, a system that their mentor, Donald Trump, also hates?

"Just take a panadol." That's what Alana was told after years of pelvic pain. Her story is all too common. Women suffering for years because their pain gets dismissed. We're determined to change that with the biggest ever investment in women's health. We're opening 33 endometriosis and pelvic pain clinics, like this one in Werribee that's already making a difference for Alana. And we've listed new medicines for endo on the PBS, making sure they're affordable. Women's health deserves to be taken seriously, and that's exactly what we're doing.

@JacintaAllanMP @grok What physical, emotional and financial impact has the Victorian Labour government's performance on housing supply affected the Victorian people in the last 8 years?

FACT: In the 12 months to December 2025, Victoria approved more than 54,000 homes: That's 2,000 more than New South Wales and approximately 13,000 more than Queensland.

@JacintaAllanMP They've revealed they want to hand housing supply back to council blockers which is how we got a housing crisis in the first place. @grok Is this statement in anyway true?

In news that surprises absolutely no one, this morning the Liberals have announced plans to cut 300,000 new homes and push up the price of housing. They've revealed they want to hand housing supply back to council blockers which is how we got a housing crisis in the first place.

Metal excerpt Ch. 24 Observe! Events are about to happen quicker than Trav-Coll students heading for the lavatories after ‘Free Bunglebeast Burger Day’. Hengway’s hand was shaking, as were his feet and legs; even his nose hairs were shaking. He gripped the door handle, so the door started shaking. He took a deep breath and flung open the door. It shook itself to a stop. He found a large room with monitors and dwarf technology boxes lined up along a bench on one side. All sorts of miscreants were clicking away on small black devices that seemed impossibly thin. Letters would appear on the screens above the thin devices, making words. Cleavie let the force field drop. She needed to know if they could communicate with each other and, hopefully, the captured and paired. “Oh, biffle,” blurted Cleavie as the field of protection completely vanished. Hengway sent an immediate order.“Take defensive positions.” Link in bio 🤓

@PatrickGormanMP @grok Is this post bullshit?

Interesting “new” Liberal shadow ministers. Same old Liberal cuts to wages and conditions. Their “new” leader spent half of 2025 trying to sack 41,000 public servants across Australia. The “new” Liberal shadow minister for employment wanted to end work from home. The “new” Liberal shadow treasurer opposed the right to disconnect. And they ALL opposed same job, same pay. #auspol

@Theblackfemini3 Nothing says 'shit politician' like turning off comments.

😂😂😂😂 Fuck off Tony. 2 weeks ago in parliament, you called Angus Taylor a dog. If any one of us rocked up to parliament calling you mob dogs, we would get arrested. Pauline doesn't need to apologise for shit and I don't need to hear what she said. I'm betting she didn't call anyone a dog though. Turning off comments just leads to more quoted posts.

Metal excerpt Ch. 16 Jay remembered his mother’s article well, and knew that it likely caused most of the difficulties they now faced. The words control and powerful conjured up images better left forgotten. Unfortunately, species of all colours and flavours will want to think that they have rights over others at some point in their history. Tuja came from a long line of people who entertained such beliefs, and with like-minded associates, they pushed for humans to become dominant once again. Jay stood guard outside the Yurning 7 library, where the enchanters were said to be keeping captive paired. Jay did not understand Trinni’s role in all of this, but his father certainly wanted to know what was going on when he urged Jay to spy on both the enchanters and the naroozie. Link in the you know what... 🔽

@bobjcarr @grok Did Bob Carr introduce road tolls when he said he would not, therefore breaking promises?

Labor should do anything it can to prevent One Nation winning Farrer. Yes, throw our votes behind the Liberal. Don’t want Australian decency wrecked by race prejudice that makes migrants feel disliked and isolated and sullies our international character.

Metal: Excerpt Ch. 8 Cleavie dangled over a long drop above a deep gorge, her axe in one hand as she barely held on to a bulbous root protruding from the slippery shale cliff. The sound of incessant steam whistles pierced the air, moving towards the gorge. Over the cliff came the added sound of lasers and vintage weapons, shattering the solitude of the forest. A shockwave just above the dangling dwarf roared across the clifftop, causing dazzling red and yellow flame to arc across the now blackened sky. “I bet ya she’s danglin’ over a cliff,” said The Captain, his horrifically shiny smile still lighting up the surroundings. He put some brown weed into a pipe and lit it with a burning twig. After a mighty toke, he sat back and smiled even wider. Link in bio 👇

Fixing the budget will take the pressure off families. Lower taxes will let Australians keep more of what they earn. Affordable energy will keep bills low and keep the lights on. And stronger communities will make every Australian feel safe and secure - as they should. These are the priorities my team are committed to deliver.

@mwmoedinger It took me a year, but I finally uninstalled all of MS Office. The MS invasive AI nonsense was just too much.

I need to make a PDF from a Word doc. Word says I'm not signed into Adobe so it won't do it. I am, in fact, signed into Adobe. I've restarted, signed in/out, force quit, etc. THIS is why licensed software is SO annoying. I do miss actually *owning* my software programs.

Exactly

We absolutely should be!

Metal: Excerpt Ch. 7 Enchanter society began with a sect of three, creating the first building block of their culture. The three sect members were part of an outer sect of three groups, making nine members. Those nine were part of a grand sect combining another eight outer sects. Trinni considered it all a bit silly. She would joke, “Why do enchanters have six legs? Because they are in-sects.” Such a jest was dull and perhaps unoriginal, but her two brothers thought sect humour was hilarious. “When can we have your brother killed, Trinni?” “Any time we can also openly slaughter your siblings, o trusted friend,” Trinni chastised Nosu, a fellow One of Three. ‘One of Three’ was the name for the smallest sect. They usually did all of the mundane work, but once they were of a high enough grade, they could work on almost any project they desired. Until then, they were only called to do sect duties when their particular skills were needed. Link in bio 🖇️
