Ex X twit. Too old for social media. Grumpy old man in training. Together Union. Rescinded Labor affiliation due to Woodside expansion. Follows are not necessarily endorsements. Out with the old, in with the renewables. No new stadiums.

I shudder that Data Centres are poised to "rescue" Australia's housing affordability situation. "Guaranteed to reduce the value of YOUR favourite suburb!" It's only a matter of time before they start spruiking that they will make housing more affordable. And they would be right. #auspol

Indeed. Just because these hospitals are ‘not for profit’ does not mean they don’t VALUE profit. Privately run public hospitals fall way short of their obligations while directors get bonuses for meeting KPIs. It’s HEALTHCARE ffs. #auspol #qldpol

So... how are those #NoNewStadiums at Mac Point and Barrambin coming along then? #qldpol #taspol Pretty good if you're a developer. Bad if you're looking for good healthcare in TAS or QLD. LGH and RBWH are being UNDER-FUNDED because of BIG SPORT.

I was interviewed by ch9 for their coverage of the protest on Sunday. I said "We are not Nimbys, we are not anti-development, we are pro democracy", because no-one voted for this stadium, but here it is. That's undemocratic. Ch9 didn't agree w/ the narrative and cut it from their broadcast.

Dear Charlie Pickering. Enjoying anything you do, henceforth, is going to be problematic. You could even say #difficult.
If you've been reading independent journalism—which holds that Trump went to war with Iran in mid-2025 and that there have been no ceasefires in the war since then, everything happening now makes sense. If you've been reading corporate media headlines... you're confused as f*ck.
