Grumpy old white male. Lefty ex-biologist IT nerd. Less grumpy when Bach plays and the Geelong Cats win. Hanging to see the first Cats AFLW silverware.

Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson wants to restrict Victorians' right to protest. Melbourne has seen significant public opposition to Israel's genocide in Gaza over the last three years. But Wilson demonised anti-genocide protesters as "extremists" and framed the peaceful protests as "violent".

She’s a genocide supporter. She supports burning Palestinian babies to death in their tents She should be nowhere near any Australian parliament. The majority of us are against Israel’s genocide.

There were multiple Australian witnesses, no objections, suggesting this is normal Australian behaviour. No wonder we support the genocide by Israel. When our politicians say they have shared values with Israel, they aren't lying - certainly not about the military.

Let's start filling in Pauline Hanson's One Nation Colouring Book. (If anyone has got one, and can get a hi-res image of the cover, perhaps we can all make our pretty filled-in versions for her, with doodles she'd "love", rather than my quick edit with Gimp)

One Nation cartoon has Bluey repeatedly ramming politicians with an SUV. Yeah, I think that's worth a "cease and desist". But why wait so long since 2024, ABC? Does the ABC only go for anti-genocide campaigners, not right wingers? theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

SO FUCKING RACIST! Not only did they call the police, but his team refunded his money and kicked them off the team. 🚨🚨🚨Yes, a 3-year-old soccer player named Nevada was removed from his youth league, and his family received a refund after police were called to the field. What Happened •The Incident: Nevada was playing in an i9 Sports youth soccer league in Winter Park, Florida. At 3 years old, he was playing in a division against children around 5 years old. • •The Complaints: Opposing parents complained that Nevada was dominating possession, keeping the ball too long, and scoring multiple goals (reportedly scoring up to 10 in a game) because the older children could not take the ball away from him. Some parents accused the toddler of "trying to put on a show". • •Police Involvement: The league issued a trespass notice against the family, and police officers arrived to escort Nevada and his parents away from the field in front of the other children and spectators. • •The Aftermath: The family was removed from the program and received a full refund for their Fall 2026 registration, sharing footage of the incident on social media where it went viral

Jess Wilson comes out with more Israel-First anti-free speech policy. Next having bacon with your eggs for breakfast will be considered incitement of anti-semitic violence.
