Left wing, latte sipping, socialist and proud of it! Concerned for the future of our Earth for my grandchildren. Have Fibromyalgia but I’m still standing!
Hey
@abcnews
why did u have to cross live to Trump rally?
Why has “Our ABC” so obsessed with Trump? And Biden’s age?
I know it’s important to keep Australians informed but I don’t want to watch Trump’s lies! A few moments as a news item is ok. But more than that is overkill!
So shit just got real. Young family 3 houses down was close contact of a case in child’s preschool. Mum is pregnant. All family have symptoms. Ambo just took mum to hosp as struggling to breathe. I’m very concerned for them. & it suddenly makes things very real. 1/2
Thank you
@Lisa_Wilkinson
Finally someone has the courage to say what everyone is saying! Gladys stuffed this up from day 1. Stand aside & let someone who can actually lead & make hard decisions take over. She’s proved it’s too hard for her!
Has anyone else felt, since COVID, that u don’t want to socialise as much as before? Or is it just that now I’m retired I just can’t be bothered going out much & hardly ever see any friends? It’s like I’m happy hanging with my dog & doing stuff alone & often feel 1/2
Wow! Just wow! Just saw Warren Mundine on
@BreakfastNews
I think he needs to take a breath & just listen to himself because I’ve never heard such absolute nonsense.
ABC why do u bother to interview people so full of hate & disinformation? I’m voting Yes.
I’m not 100% on board with everything Albo & his gov does. I’ve never been totally on board with everything every previous Labor gov does. That doesn’t mean I’m unhappy with Albo. I think he’s doing his best. It’s a long game fixing up LNP mess.
Who really wants Dutton PM?
Heard yesterday that 1 in 3 Australians support Trump & hope he’s returned to White House!!
Really??
This was on The Project so I’m not really believing it. If it’s true, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??
Anyone feeling really depressed today? I am. Oz is burning. People dying. Trump trying hard to start WW3. RW nuts trying to blame fires on everything except the real causes. Evangelical nut bag as PM. I’m not coping today. My black dog is at the door. Time for music.
Hey
@BreakfastNews
how many times in an hour can u say "industrial scale branch stacking "? I've never heard you mention Lib corruption in such a gleeful way. In fact, you hardly mention their scams at all!
I used to be all about keeping the publicly funded ABC. But if remains the propaganda arm of the LNP just close it down. It’s rotten to the core. At least
@AlboMP
sack the entire board & start again. Barrie Cassidy would make an excellent chairman. Get rid of bloody Ita!
I hate this. I’ve never before wandered around a supermarket & before I hit the checkout I look what’s in the trolley to see what I can take out! I look & ask myself “do u really need this & is it a want rather than a need”
Trying to live on a pension is near impossible. 1/2
@TheKouk
Jobseeker is a joke. I lost my job at age 60. Spent 3 years on Newstart. 3 years of hell. Had to draw Super to pay off car loan & for bills. Newstart only covered my rent. My mental health took a hit. Contemplated suicide often. Condemning people for being poor is disgusting.
So got into trouble on an over 60s FB group cause I dared criticise Scumo & his response to fires. Apparently climate change is rubbish & it’s not PM fault there’s fires cause we always have them.
Guess a lot of them have franking credits!
I’ve been watching Maggie Beer’s Big Mission. It’s bloody depressing. I told my daughter last night that if I have to go into a nursing home please put a pillow over my face. I won’t fight!!
Truly I’d rather die.
It shouldn’t be like this. It’s all about money. As usual.
So does anyone else talk to birds whilst taking dog for walk in park? Like “good morning Maggy” “how are u today pretty dove?” “ cute babies mummy duck”.
No?? Just me then. Probably losing my marbles. But lately I prefer animals to people.
My partner is health care worker. He tells me that Perrottet is universally loathed at hospital he works at. Especially among nurses. So this is what happens when u treat health workers like crap!
Someone on FB today about Court “she’s a Christian & we have to respect her views.” No we bloody well don’t!!
I’m not giving so called Christians a free pass to be homophobic bigots! Go take a long walk off a short pier!!
I had a friend who I found out was an anti vaxxer & Pete Evans fan. I haven’t spoken to her since. Didn’t argue just don’t see her anymore. Today she posted online petition against mandatory virus vac.
Did I make right decision? Still feel a bit guilty.
So apparently the solution to bush fires is to chop down all the trees, clear all the land, sell to developers to build whatever the fuck they want & generally keep green stuff to parks & museums.
"Pave paradise & put up a parking lot".
That'll fix it. Poof ! No more fires!
A few years ago i wasn't a Shorten fan & thought Labor could never win with him. Now I've come to admire his quiet intelligence & how he's grown into a person I'd be happy to call our PM!
Go for it, Bill
@billshortenmp
We know you can do this!
Am I the only one in the country who doesn’t give a rats about Taylor Swift? I couldn’t even name a song of hers. I can’t believe the amount of time news shows have given this. Is there nothing else happening in the world right now?
I’m officially a cranky old lady!
Wow. In my electorate 64% voted No!
I always knew the Central Coast was full of Bogans & idiotic conservative old people. Now I know for sure.
I’d leave here tomorrow if I had somewhere to go.
I think I’m stuck here for life. And that’s a depressing thought.
I’m fucking done! My bat shit crazy niece is having a go at me again about supporting Dems. Apparently they are responsible for everything bad in the US. & I won’t even repeat what she said about Biden!
I’m unfollowing & never engaging with her again. It’s heartbreaking.
I wasn't abused by a priest. I was never sexually abused by anyone, that I'm aware off. But at Catholic school I was physically assaulted by a nun. She would beat us & I remember she had a smile on her face as she did it. At the ripe old age of 10 I had a nervous breakdown.
I hate Christmas! I really do. I hate people saying to me “how can u hate Xmas? It’s wonderful.”
No, it isn’t
Too commercial. We all run around like mad buying stuff we don’t need buying for people we don’t like with money we don’t have. It’s sheer madness!
We have a street FB group as we’re only a small dead end st. Lovely bunch. Mostly young families with a couple of oldies like me. So that’s how I know about this family. Sounds like they may have Covid. Mum & Dad have only had 1 vax. I hope she’s ok & baby. 2/2
So towns that suffered from fires then Covid are now under water. Many businesses won’t recover. Many people have lost everything they own from both disasters. Many people will be unemployed. So where is our PM. Oh, that’s right. It’s a state matter & he doesn’t work Weekends
Good grief. So our new GG is not only another religious nutbag but his wife reads the bible whilst she hoolahoops?
Does anyone else feel like they've fallen into a black hole into bizzaro world? Just me?
It's like a bad skit on Monty Python!
This is our new reality.
Had a great appt with job agency today! Walked in sat down & she said sorry I have a meeting to go to. I've marked u as attended. Here's a letter for your next appt. Bye!
Was there for 3 mins tops. How much do they get paid for "helping " me find a job?
Great system.
Anyone else still hiding out from watching news programs?
I still can't do it! I just feel so furious when I even read about how Albo doesn't know what he's doing & Shorten wants leadership back & factional warfare etc, etc etc
Nothing about Libs at all! All hunky dory!
I’m so disappointed the gov refuses to raise Jobseeker.
@AlboMP
do u really call yourself a Labor PM but refuse to help those that need it most whilst still going ahead with tax cuts that are completely unnecessary? I think I may reconsider my ALP membership.
What fucking planet is Albo on? $200,000 not high income? Really? Maybe a few miners & tradies. Maybe.
But the average worker gets far, far less.
I was about to join Labor again after a long, long break. But if Albo is going to go all Lib Lite on us I'll have to think again.
I'm excited! Today I heard that my DSP claim has been approved!
Yay! No more forthrightly visits to job agency morons. No more looking for jobs I'm not qualified for & too old to get anyway!
I'm so relieved!
@logicsayz
@TheTweetOfRhea
Yep. Grew up a Catholic & had it stuffed down my throat. Telling small children they’ll burn in Hell for telling a lie & nonsense like that & being slapped around by Nuns cured me of any religious beliefs I may have had!
Home at last! Grateful to be out of hospital. Now long recovery.
We do have great free healthcare. But since when are wards all unisex now? No more men wards & women wards?
I was in room with 3 men. It’s uncomfortable & confronting. It’s not right. 1/3
Guess new stadiums over schools, Hospitals & roads.
Fucking dimwitted zombies!
I really, reality hate people right now.
I'm off to bed & Netflix.
I just can't cope with this. Need to recharge & come out fighting another day.
I’m having a bit of a visit from the Black Dog today. Been very weepy. But my pain levels don’t help either. Can’t quite get control of it so taking to bed for awhile.
I hate Christmas for so many reasons. It’s not a happy time for everyone & people should be aware of that.
Hey
#Insiders
are u aware a very important RC ended this week ? It’s the most important RC for a long time. People died over
#Robodebt
& it’s like it didn’t happen! Talk about it! Oh, wait. It’s about the LNP so it’s a no go zone! Do your job, Speers!
Can someone explain to me how the milk I buy has gone up 70c in a week ? I drink lactose free because I have numerous allergies & it just doesn’t upset my stomach. It’s been going up steadily over the last year but 70c in a week? Price gouging Coles? Or blame it on milk company?
Today I was in cafe when old bloke at next table was leaving he offered me the Daily Terror to read. I said "No thanks I'm a Murdoch free zone". He kinda glared at me and shuffle off mumbling to himself. Lady sitting at other table saw me and smiled.
Guess old mate was Lib voter
Back in 70s when I was starting my work life men used to harass women at work constantly. I’d get pinched on the bum, groped, told obscene jokes asked about my sex life etc. I complained to an older woman who told me to ignore because that’s what men do! & we’re still fighting!
In France they raise retirement age by 2 years & people riot in the streets. What did Aussies do when our retirement age rose? Nothing! Nada!
We really are a bunch of docile sheep.
So does cashless card allow u to get car repairs? Tyres? Pay rego? Or do u have to get permission from your keepers? I’ve also heard people on it not allowed to leave area? So when do we “welfare bludgers” get rounded up & sent to Christmas Is?
I'm beginning to think that Scumo's continued refusal to send in army or anything else to fight these fires is a deliberate act. Now I just have to figure out why?
I’m having a bad Black Dog day. I’m crying at ads on tv FFS!! My arsewipe family don’t help. Why are the people that let u down the most are those who’s supposed to have your back?
Sorry friends. Had a bad day. Tomorrow will be better.
Am I paranoid but am getting very suspicious of all these so called "Independents" coming out standing for Lib seats. Most are conservatives who will give preferences to Libs. Is this an underhanded way to ensure that Morriscum is re elected?
I don't trust these bastards!
I’m proud of myself because I walked away & didn’t take the bait. The Lib candidate, who’s running as Independent (yeah, nah) has brought Libs from Syd to hand out for him. They’re proudly wearing Lib tshirts.
He’s a buffoon. Terrible man. 2/2
#IStandWithBrittany
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything like this in politics in this country before. It’s beyond despicable. The Libs and their media allies are pond scum. The lowest creatures imaginable. If I believed in Hell I’d curse them there forever!
#NotADoleBludger
lost my job 3years ago as business closed down. Never been on benefits before that. Paid tax. Brought up kids as single parent. They went to uni. Now I'm over 60 stuck on Newstart. Gov tells me to work. No one hires anyone my age. Especially now I'm ill
You won’t see me posting for awhile. I’m in hospital. Had emergency surgery for bowel obstruction. Have no idea how long I’ll be here. Too drugged to be on here.
It’s going to be a long haul I think.
So Roberts is paying $59,000 a month for his office? Wtf is he renting? The Taj Mahal? Buckingham Palace?
This guy needs to go. Preferably to jail!
He's blatantly ripping off the taxpayer! How can he justify that? How can Morriscum let this guy get away with it?
Like it’s all too much trouble to organise something? Trying to get another person to agree to a time & place is too hard lately. Is that my depression? I do often feel my depression overwhelming me. Should I worry or is it ok to want to stay home in my own company? 2/2
If an election was held today, would we get a change of government?
Why is it that I can't answer yes to that question?
Why have I lost all faith in my fellow citizens to actually vote this mob of lying, rorting psychopaths out?
Because their just too apathetic to care.
I’m so angry about the local voice result that I feel like standing in the local shopping centre & yelling at people!
Bunch of mindless morons.
I’m not feeling very well today. Mentally exhausted. This has taken its toll on me & many, many others.
So Anne Ruston. Perfect as Opp minister for Aged Care. She’ll bring her warmth & compassion to the elderly! How heartwarming.
& yes I’m being sarcastic & snarky!!
Poll numbers up for
#ScottyFromMarketing
? Really?
WTF is wrong with u people?
I’m over it. Going to become hermit & go live in a cave. Aust is fucked & I’m beginning to hate people.
Too many dumb idiots. I don’t know how they manage to dress themselves.
Not sure I can do Twitter today. Suddenly I'm seeing some Libs posting stuff about Andrews & how they are all suffering & he has a lot to answer for & he's destroying economy for no reason etc etc.
I'm over it. Do I start blocking or just have a day off?
So much hate & anger.
I hate Halloween. It's bullshit American capitalism run amok. No body here bothered about it 10 years ago. This year I've seen more Halloween stuff than ever before.
Told my daughter I didn't want anything to do with it. Got called a grouchy party pooper. Yep. That's me!
@ChristinaDronen
@HkarterKarter
What? Forcing kids to be indoctrinated into religion? Sounds like Fascism to me! Everyone has a human right to become a free thinker, make their own decisions about believing in fairy tales!
& I was made to go to Catholic church with my mum every Sun. That's why I'm now Atheist!
So my daughter got an appt to get the Pfizer this week. She’s 42. I’m almost 65 but not allowed to get that one. I have to get the AZ or nothing. Guess it’s nothing then. I know many people think I’m worried about nothing. But I’m yet to be convinced.
I have no idea what flavour Kool Aid Mundine is drinking but it’s definitely done something to his brain!
Vote Yes!!
Yesterday I was almost ready to give up on the Voice. He’s just made me realise how loud & nuts the No campaign is. We must keep fighting.
Anyone else really liking Jim Chalmers & can see him as a future PM? Just caught a bit of him at NPC & he comes across well. We need young leaders now. Time to let next gen take over.
So we lefties are having a good end of year. Qld Labor, NT Labor, ACT Labor, NZ Labor.
Now Biden.
If we can just get rid of Morriscum I’d be a really happy gal!!
Ok. I've said my piece about Albo before. I'm done. We have to get behind him 100% now. That doesn't mean we can't push for more action on climate. Which is my major concern. Well, I have many concerns but I'll stick with climate for now. But we need to get ALP elected!!
Am I the only one who couldn’t give a rats about the Logies? Saw on news this morning that Larry Emdur won the Gold. I had to think hard to remember who he was. Used to host game shows but have no idea what he does now. But apart from some News & ABC stuff I barely watch FTA!
Ok. Too many nasty thugs on here. Wishing me death etc.
calling me names etc
I’m sick of this BS.
Why? Because I don’t like Trump. Am not an anti vaxxer. And I hate Dutton & Murdoch!
So much for Musk’s free speech!
I’ve deleted some of my posts & I’m having a break today.
@BronwynHill1
@CharlizeTheroff
That’s exactly me today. I’m getting kinda sick of defending myself. Seems if you’re a Republican you have to hate the Monarchy. I don’t. Just see them as something that is no longer needed. At least in Australia. So how about we all chill ?
I was just ranting to my daughter, who probably tuned me out, but WTF is wrong with people? They continue to vote LNP even though they lie constantly. & there was Joyce on news ranting on about the gov! How fucking dare he! How do these people sleep at night?
@JustVent6
@DoTheEvolution5
Why were his shoes off? Did they get knocked off when the agents grabbed him? Does he take them off when speaking? Weird.
Usually the agents would drag their charge off into car. Wouldn’t give him a chance to get a photo op with fist raised. I can’t help being suspicious.
Albo, I wanted u years ago instead of Bill. Now you're leader your not up to the job. Still clinging to coal like a good little big business stooge.
There is so much u could be hammering Libs on.
So why aren't u?
Our planet in real trouble.
Earn your keep or get the Hell out
@JaneCaro
Well, Jane I've been trying to tell Pensioners that for ages but they still believe, in their words, "cashless card only for gamblers& drunks. They're in for quite a shock !
Labor need to go hard & let people know about this. It must be stopped!
I swear if I see any more pics of the Prime Moron with his thumbs up I'm going to lose my shit!
Just fuck off Scumo. And stick your thumbs up your very large arse!
How did we end up with this piece of shit as PM?
What the absolute fuck did Aust do to deserve him???
I really must stop feeding the Magpies in my garden. This morning they sat on doorstep screaming at me. I went outside and one chortled & a whole bunch more arrived. It's getting like a scene from Hitchcock!
What do you call a gang of Magpies?
So QLD Premier now pushing app. Keep seeing medicos, pollies all pushing app. They're getting desperate. Why?
I'm sorry but there's no way I'm doing it. I don't trust ANY gov. They do nothing to inspire my trust.
Has anyone on here changed mind about app yet?
My daughter wanted to start a swear jar to stop us all from swearing so much in front of her 6 year-old. But decided we'd better wait till after election or "Grandma would be very, very, poor."
It's like I have no control. "Fucking Prick ", comes out of my mouth by itself!
Why is it necessary
@BreakfastNews
to put on some lady from Qld that’s been stuck in VIC all this time & air her sob story? Many, many people have similar stories. We don’t need to hear about it. It’s not news. The past 2 years have been shit for all of us.
I’m so depressed today. My Black Dog is hovering. I see the world burning & it feels so hopeless.
Also my physical health is so bad right now. I can hardly eat now because of flare up of TMJ which goes nicely with my Fibromyalgia.
I just want to weep.
How dare Ms Higgins wear an outfit resembling the Princess of Wales! The nerve of her! Surely she should be wearing sackcloth & ashes? She seems to dress too well to be a rape victim?
Reynolds is a vindictive bitch.
@piper4missouri
I’m 67. All my life I’ve been cautious & sometimes afraid at night, alone. I never go out at night anymore by myself. As women we spend our lives being cautious & never completely relax when we’re out. I thought things would change by now. It hasn’t changed at all.
Do u ever just look at your fellow humans & wonder how we got here? I’m not talking biblical stuff. I’m talking about how we’ve taken a beautiful planet, our home, & thrashed it. Sometimes it hurts my soul to see all that beauty being destroyed. Too many humans.
I'm really beginning to hate these Evangelical types. I don't want God to bless me. Jesus is not my Saviour. And I'm quite happy in my blissful ignorance of the Bible. And my soul is perfectly fine thank you.
Now go away.
Well a week ago I was very low. Very anxious & depressed. In fact downright suicidal. Sat at polling booth I felt maybe, just maybe we could do this. Sat night I was freaking out at first & did a rather hysterical tantrum thinking we’d lose. But by bed time I knew we did it!1/2
