41·3 days agoKamala Harris the war criminal?
4·3 days agoPeople who need them will be able to apply for a permit, so not a complete ban:
Under the new laws, Victorians who legitimately require them such as farmers or hunters will be required to apply for exemptions.
To be clear, this was already in the works, it’s not just a knee-jerk response, but they’re bringing in an immediate ban instead of waiting for the originally-legislated date in September.
My understanding is lamb is under a year old. I’ve honestly never heard of hogget, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually had mutton.

It was Semi Final 2 this morning, and the Australian entry didn’t make it through to the Grand Final ☹️
The semi finals had 15 and 16 songs respectively, and 10 songs go through to the Grand Final from each. Go-Jo’s song and performance deserved better than to be scored in the bottom third of the competition.

We wuz robbed!
Second-last paragraph explains the background:
Ley, a known Numerologist, famoussly added an extra character to her name under the belief that the SS would make her life better.
Able to speak more freely now that he is on the backbench, Mr Husic was blunt in his assessment of the Netanyahu government.
“We’ve seen just in the past week or so, the Israeli parliament say it wants to annex Gaza and effectively that is a form of ethnic cleansing. We’ve seen the starvation of its people through the failure to provide humanitarian assistance,” he said.
“It should be held to account. Starvation is a war crime.”
I’d have more respect for Husic if he had gone harder on this when he had more to lose. I’ll take whatever we can get, though.

I think people have been led, deliberately, to believe it’s a lot more arcane and/or complicated than it really is. Israel is just a bog-standard settler-colonial project.
3·19 days agoProbably not really what you’re looking for, but there was that time that ‘Binging with Babish’ did “The Duck Cake from Bluey” not realising that ‘Bluey’ was referencing an actual recipe in the classic ‘Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book’ 😆

Agreed. If there’s any confusion among voters, I reckon it’s largely due to NSW’s optional-preferential ballots being inconsistent with the federal ballots. NSW should change to mandatory-preferential for the sake of consistency - and because it’s better - but the major parties benefit from the optional.

Post body:
I hope this is OK to post here. I had previously broken my mower due to hitting a septic vent, the piston blew through the top of the engine, oops. Consequently I had let the grass get a bit long and as a result I “collected” many seeds while fixing it all up. Watched a movie last night and did this chore at the same time. Just not fun at all.
Lets assume 51% vote 1 for Liberal … then the Liberal wins regardless …
Yes? That is always the case.
I’m just wondering why you say: “if you vote green in one of those districts then you’re endorsing the Liberal Party of Australia to Drill Drill Drill, baby”. Unlike the Liberals and Labor, the Greens are against all new coal and gas.
If you vote green in one of those districts then you’re endorsing the Liberal Party of Australia to Drill Drill Drill, baby.
That’s not how preferential voting works.
Nah, these were neo-Nazis, they’re not taking their cues from Palmer, they’re taking them from… another guy.
From the ABC article (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-25/melbourne-anzac-day-welcome-to-country-hecklers/105215124):
Police were later seen escorting prominent neo-Nazi Jacob Hersant away from the service.
In November, Hersant was the first Victorian found guilty of performing an illegal Nazi salute in public and was sentenced to one month behind bars.
The ABC understands a group of far-right extremists were present at the Shrine.
This quote cited on his Wikipedia page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Hersant):
After his conviction in 2024 for performing a Nazi salute in public, he stated to journalists “I’m ready to go to jail, because I’m a Hitler soldier and what I’m doing is right”.[8]
Probably not applicable in Australia, different suppliers etc.
