@mebank I have been attempting to transfer money between two ME Bank accounts and both the app and website are not working. Can you advise when they will be functional again as it is quite urgent.

That was my last ever post, just in case you didn’t think I was serious.

Goodbye Twitter, it was fun before you turned to shit thanks to Elon.

If you go into a Woolworths and the shelves aren’t stacked, know that it’s because the warehouse workers of this price gouging corporation - that made $1.7 billion in profit last year - simply want their fair share and a safe workplace.

Blistering Rock N Roll, goofy singalongs and most importantly, real heart, I can’t think of another album as kind as this. There’s no other word for it. Its tender moments go beyond songs to relate to, and into direct messages to the listener that reach out and say “I understand”

Hey at @woolworths, how’s that strike going? Shelves are looking pretty bare. @UnitedWorkersOz #ausunions

Hi folks, I’ll be shutting this account down in the next few days. If you want to continue following me, I’ll be on Bluesky here: https://t.co/IQJ4lMeN9K

Israel no longer even bothering to maintain the pretence it is aiming at Hamas targets. https://t.co/BNh7IGY1J9

Joe Aston, who proudly boasted of scabbing in his workmates during the 2017 strike, holds his book launch at a venue owned by a wage thief that is also under investigation for a toxic culture of sexual harassment. Says it all. https://t.co/2pStBo5Jpv

Oops, Trump didn’t wash his hands before he started serving at that Maccas store the other day. https://t.co/gVEIagrybK

I got an email from GetUp. I didn’t know it still existed.

From the river to the sea, #Palestine will be free.

Israel invades Lebanon and sets its sights on bombing Iran out of existence next but the Australian media is more concerned that a couple of people took flags to a rally.

‘Protest capital of Australia’ is a title any Premier should embrace as a sign of a healthy democracy.

The old boy really is sounding more and more like Trump these days.

I’d oppose the release of such an awful album cover too. Looks like it was thrown together in five minutes by a year 11 student using Canva for the first time. ⁦@Johnny_Marr⁩ https://t.co/buL8jlv3jI

So we need to ask were the leaks from police about “25,000” protesters planning to disrupt the Land Forces expo intended to create a permissive structure for the kind of police violence we saw yesterday? If so, the strategy of whipping up false hysteria worked.

[Mark Phillips @read_about_it]

He’d better double the money because all I’ve seen today is a police force that is out of control.

[Mark Phillips @read_about_it]

So was that extra $15 million approved by Pallas yesterday really to pay for cops at the protest, or is it being set aside for the inevitable compensation payments that will need to be made after today’s police brutality?
