“ABC Managing Director David Anderson admits to helping promote Rupert Murdoch’s propagandists and lies” #auspol
Rupert Murdoch has been trying to force the government to privatise the ABC for years, which has failed, but he has done the next best thing by having his propagandists on various ABC shows on a da…
Boggabri Coal mine on the Liverpool Plains in NSW will be forced to improve its water monitoring after breaching its licence conditions, but environmentalists and nearby farmers say the penalty doesn't go far enough.
King Charles 3 asks for a vocal Oath of Alliegiance to the King during the Coronation.
Australians respond with unofficial chorus from The Angels' "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?"
I tend not to follow news about celebrities including British royalty but I have just seen the proposed oath of allegiance that anyone can swear to.
Since writing this yesterday, I have seen that taxpayers in the UK will fork out for this, costing at least 100 million pounds. With a cost of living crisis in the UK and inflation soaring at above 10%, this seems outrageous!
Each day between now and the coronation, I'm going to repeat this, so if it offends or becomes tedious, feel free to mute or block.
Vive la Republic!!

Meet this critter, the #orbspider, scary looking, but she’s pretty harmless.
This is a female. They’re the big ones! Males are way-smaller in size.
I saw a heap of these (nearly walked into this one’s web) a week ago, along the #LoddonRiver in #Bendigo #australia.
Australian golden orb weaver:
Found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, northern New Zealand, and New Caledonia.
The female typically grows to around 40mm (1.5 inch), whereas males only reach around 7-10mm (quarter to a third of an inch) in length.
It’s web is normally over 1 metre in diameter. Once built, it never leaves its web.
They’re harmless and not poisonous to humans.
Its main predators are birds and parasitic wasps.
Breeds throughout late summer and autumn, and produces an average of 380 eggs.
The tiny males tie down the much larger females before mating, weaving silk threads over their abdomens.
Sexual cannibalism is relatively rare with this species, however up to 50% of males are cannibalised throughout the natural course of life (and whilst attempting to mate), as ‘prey’.
They’re an edible spider; considered a delicacy in New Guinea. They’re lightly roasted over an open fire. Ummm, no thanks 😳
