Doing my bit, having a say……while enjoying family & friends, good conversation, good food, gardening, my community & our planet.

This is fun 🤓

@TheSJTobin Acknowledging that the date was NOT right is fantastic. Well done… you are awesome 👏 In my day we succumbed & took the blame ���🏽‍♂️

I love this idea....so relaxing not to have chit-chat 🤫https://t.co/etUDe5WcIw

It’s been 10 years today and still nearly 80 refugee men trapped in PNG.

Australia sent them there.

Sent them to be tortured.

14 men died there and Nauru.

1,000+ more men were assaulted, self - harmed or tried to take their lives.

This must end @AlboMP. Now. Enough.

I agree 💝

[Woody @liberals_ipa]

I think voting yes to the voice is the same as voting yes to gay marriage. It's about freedom and its about decency and it is about a generosity of spirit that recognises that oppression diminishes us all as people. Be more. Make your difference. #VoteYesAustralia

Imagine you were born in 1900.

When you're 14, World War I begins and ends when you're 18 with 22 million dead.

Soon after a global pandemic, the Spanish Flu, appears, killing 50 million people. And you're alive and 20 years old.

When you're 29 you survive the global economic crisis that started with the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and famine.

When you're 33 years old the nazis come to power.

When you're 39, World War II begins and ends when you're 45 years old with a 60 million dead. In the Holocaust 6 million Jews die.

When you're 52, the Korean War begins.
When you're 64, the Vietnam War begins and ends when you're 75.

A child born in 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, but they have survived several wars and catastrophes.

Today we have all the comforts in a new world, amid a new pandemic. But we complain because we need to wear masks. We complain because we must stay confined to our homes where we have food, electricity, running water, wifi, even Netflix! None of that existed back in the day. But humanity survived those circumstances and never lost their joy of living.

A small change in our perspective can generate miracles. We should be thankful that we are alive. We should do everything we need to do to protect and help each other.

I’m voting Yes to the Voice because…… it will be an opportunity for First Nation Peoples to advise on matters affecting their people - to deliver more practical & workable policies. 👍🏽

[John Cardillo @johncardillo]

Trump lives in either his $200 million Palm Beach estate, $100 million NYC apt, or his $60 million NJ estate, and flies to them on his $100 million jet.

Yet he sends 5-10 e mails daily begging for legal fee donations.

He and his grift are pathetic.

[Lee MacRae @LeeMacRae11]

What would JC say!!! What would any fair minded person say!! Invite people in, find out why they are seeking safety 💝

[octopus/caveman @octopuscaveman]

In LA there’s a church where they lay razor wire across the stoop to keep the homeless people away. Just like Jesus says.

[Tyler @CowboysIn4]

@What39020709 @OctopusCaveman @MG50ADMIRER @colourmesadder Speaking demographically in America, the more likely you are to strictly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, the more likely you are to vote for people who are strongly AGAINST feeding and housing the poor. As Jesus once said, “If you’re struggling to eat, get a better job”

[Craig Emerson @DrCraigEmerson]

Very sad that 5 people have lost their lives exploring the Titanic.

Terribly sad, too, that 650 asylum seekers drowned off the cost of Greece, hundreds of them children.

Not much media coverage of the second tragedy 😢

[Prof Kathy Eagar AM @keagar.bsky.social @k_eagar]

While the media has been focused on 5 tragic deaths on the ocean floor, 149 Australians have died of COVID in the last 7 days. This makes 4,583 COVID deaths in 2023.

27 people are day are dying of COVID and everyone is happy to accept it as the new normal @CroakeyNews @AlboMP

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

German Sea Captain Pia Klemp is facing up to 20 years in jail for rescuing nearly 1000 migrants from drowning.

If you believe in hope over hate and support Pia Klemp give this a retweet.

It is disgusting that anyone would dare try throw her in jail.

[#TuckFrump @realTuckFrumper]

CUT OFF: CNN won’t allow Trump on live TV anymore https://t.co/FwQrHe6iYu

[💙Brittney💙 @AZ_Brittney]

A big thank you to Rachel Maddow and MSNBC for not airing Trump’s “litany of lies and false accusations” yesterday! 💙 and retweet if you are tired of hearing Trump’s BS too!

[Lee MacRae @LeeMacRae11]

Why is this still happening? @AlboMP

[Kon Karapanagiotidis @Kon__K]

22 refugees are still trapped on Nauru.

This government has budgeted $485 million to hold people there.

Per person, it's more than they spent last year on the entire safety net for people seeking asylum living in our community - which 98% can’t access

[Lee MacRae @LeeMacRae11]
