What you Janie Finlay MP & Tasmanian Labor fail to grasp is that Tasmanians have walked away from outdated forestry practices, toxic salmon farming & a cruel greyhound racing industry. You’re welcome to remain committed to all three but you’re pretty much on your own. #politas

A sea of keffiyehs, thousands of good people marching in bright sunshine, hearts breaking for the suffering of the Palestinians. Great turnout, Hobart. #FreePalestine

Watching Republican Governors dumping on #GavinNewsom claiming millions are fleeing California to live in West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana. I’ll wait for the data but I have to say, I’m skeptical.

Where governments choose to tax and where to spend money shows a lot about their priorities. We should be taxing things we want less of (like fossil fuels), and subsidising things we want more of (like education). Pretty simple. #auspol

Jeff Kennett! Yep, that’s the solution.

“obviously the harsh words are making no impact. Israel don't care what you say. Someone's got to make a stand and at some stage the action has to match the rhetoric and it has not done that so far.” God bless Usman, his humanity and his courage. abc.net.au/listen/program…

It’s interesting to see US influence waning in the world. We see less of their news in our media, businesses are simply moving away from the US, foreign governments are making new alliances & trade agreements. Power is shifting. The US$ is soft. It’s quiet but feels irrevocable.

I think it’s time for Bill Clinton to loudly declare that he wants the #EpsteinFiles released.

If I have to choose between believing a convicted sex trafficker or the victim of that sex trafficker, it’s an easy choice.

#Israel isn’t coming back from this. They are pariahs & will remain pariahs. Whatever Holocaust guilt, sympathy & goodwill the world felt for them is long gone. They have murdered & lied their way into isolation & historical infamy. And they did it all to themselves.

So now that you’re telling us that it was Iran and not anti-Semitic Australians who committed the hate crimes, are you going to apologise to us Anthony Albanese ?

It is very sad that our Prime Minister & the Head of our national security agency can make a formal public statement & so many Australians simply don’t believe them. Their credibility is in tatters. #auspol

Israeli troops are literally posting images of themselves targeting civilians on social media

For those of us who don’t live in the US, the whole Cracker Barrel furore is quite the trip.

Take away every view you hold about politics & government & the individuals involved & this behaviour is still profoundly weird, creepy & embarrassing.

Are you sure the US is a trustworthy ally Anthony Albanese ?

There really should be a compulsory retirement age for politicians and it should be significantly younger than 80. #BobKatter
