Start putting the dishes away, with a sincere enquiry about whether it is OK for you to be putting other peoples dishes away. Two birds with one stone.

Municipal councils in Broome, Karratha, Geraldton and Carnarvon held closed meetings to promise various amounts in millions of dollars toward continued Qantas services during lockdown. In Geraldton, the amount was three hundred dollars for every member of the population, even though only about ten percent are ever likely to use it. No consultation. Appalling plutocratic governance. Thank goodness for road coaches.

Our record on international relations isn't squeaky. Papua is basically an Australian mine. We essentially invaded east Timor. We routinely ignore obligations to less fortunate island nations. Our indigenous situation is a source of international shame.

Good passport though.

Allow me to focus on the anti-protest law.
How did that arise from the workers?
Isn't industrial action a fotrm of protest?

@unionagainstdhmo
I was being sarcastic. I meant republican in the American sense of being reactionary. The Labor party seems compromised by the mining lobby.

A chilling holocaust film.

I have been reading a little about the society of our primate relatives and whole-heartedly agree that our cooperative nature is innate. Stress can cause us to behave in more primitive ways, using only our lizard brain - we tend to think only of preserving our own vegetative functions. I think some people carry that level of trauma around with them.

@awwwyissss @SituationCake Mastodon is a white rose of sorts. There must be Australian security contractors scanning your posts. Keep up the good work!
