EVERALD COMPTON Well done, Everald. That has become more and more difficult as the years have passed by

This poll is probably correct. Tallies with negative feelings I hear expressed at meetings. But October Election is a long way away. #Politics is Australia is now very volatile.

Thank you 💧Ron Jones❄. I had good fortune to meet a fine person who taught me that life is all about sharing.

Geoff Kitney grace pettigrew Kokoda … one of the few of this nation’s battlegrounds in which it actually had a stake …

Looks like there will be a second straight budget surplus - 2023-24 is looking solid for a surplus.
Excellent news and shows just how tight budget settings are and how fiscal policy is aiding the anti-inflation trend.

And there's the Gaza War Cemetery, northern outskirts of Gaza City, where 111 Australians are buried. It's not clear whether Israel has bombed or bulldozed it yet.

Here we go again. The #Christian Right dominates USA #SupremeCourt . They use name of Jesus Christ to justify their evil.

This stupidity could only occur in #USA where the law is an ass. Judgement in favour of #Weinstein is gross insult to #women & huge encouragement to rapists.

Well done PM Anthony Albanese for recognising the significance of PNG to the Australia we know today.With New Zealand PNG should stand as our best mates in times of crisis.Your meaningful visit will reinforce our gratitude & hopefully move above the lip service of the past.
Lest We Forget

As sun sets on #AnzacDay I think of my two visits to #Gallipoli . Climbed hill Anzacs ordered to capture despite Turks having huge fire power. Countless Anzacs died that day. No Turks died. Our Generals had made massive blunder. I wept at graves of Aussies only age 17. War is…

Hope #Trump has whiff of defeat but we must not write him off. Trial will dominate #media for weeks with huge impact. 70 million who voted for him twice will be outraged if he loses.

As solid opponent of #AUKUS may I say that it's prime proponent Richard Marles made absolute cracker of a speech at #Gallipoli today. Well chosen words sincerely delivered without any notes. I was hugely moved by it.

Woolworths are selling this ! Woke bastards ! Not what our diggers fought and died for. Someone warn Credlin. Blot, Panahi, The Beetrooter ! The culture wars go on !

Someone should carefully try to explain to #Netanyahu that there is huge difference between #antisemitism & criticism. His huge problem is that he believes he is God with power to order genocide & not be questioned.

More evidence that #Churches have not got a clue about thoughts & hopes of humanity. They are locked in their 'holy' boxes.

Good comment Terry Sweetman.

And at least 100 others.

Helen & I have been together 65 years. Every #AnzacDay we drink special toast to her father Bert who fought in France in 1917/18. Once I asked what kept him going in trenches for 2 years. He said he was determined to get home to marry Hilda who lived in hope he would make it…

100% spot on.

Enjoyed hit on #Golf range at Brisbane airport yesterday. Had to join queue to get a spot but they sold me BLT sandwich while I waited. Growth #industry .
