Absolutely terrifying disaster unfolding in the South Pacific,
#Tonga
's Hunga Tonga volcano erupts around 5.30pm local time Jan 15 2022. Tsunami waves recorded on Australia’s east coast and waves likely heading for the west coast of the Americas.
Pretty interesting observing in recent weeks how the US media have been writing off and downplaying Biden (and also Buttigieg) in favour of Michael Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders narrative.
They’re in shock.
So, Western Australia’s policy is to wait for the people who won’t get vaccinated & have had all the time in the world to get vaccinated.
The rest of us who’ve done the right thing must suffer the fools. Okay.
This is so tragic. 😔
The scale of the
#AustralianBushfires
bushfires on wildlife rich Kangaroo Island is beyond comprehension.
These images were taken one month apart (Dec 2019/Jan 2020). This is truly one of the greatest ecological disasters of recent history.

#BREAKING
: WA Premier Mark McGowan and Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson are holding a press conference at 7:30pm tonight.
Will WA’s reopening date on Feb 5 be pushed back? Time will tell…
No compassionate grounds for entering Western Australia for months, this poor man is stuck in NSW, like thousands of others.
An unreasonable and mean-spirited policy from the WA Premier, fully backed by his cult followers.
"I really wanna see my mum, because the doctors said she has not got long"
An emotional West Australian man shares his heartbreaking story after landing on the first quarantine-free flight to Sydney from Los Angeles.
2 Australias about to emerge. Thousands of families still separated by internal borders. Millions of others can fly overseas and back with little restrictions. Should be regarded as a constitutional crisis at this point.
Australian Twitter is a place truly rich in talent and scholary. Everyone here today is both an epidemiological expert and Australian constitutional expert. Marvellous.

#Auschwitz
This is a place I think of when I hear racists and bigots spread their hatred. 1.1 million people died here. Something to think about.
Anyone miss just casually getting on a plane and not worrying they might be trapped out of their own home state/country, maybe not to return for many months or even years.
Yeah.
Thinking of all those separated from family today either due to border closures, cancelled flights, uncertainty over exposure & wanting to protect loved ones just in case, or having to isolate away because of a positive result. We are in very tough times. Be kind to one another.
One of my earliest news event memories, was this moment captured in time. This was about standing up to racism. It’s a beautiful, triumphant moment in our history, we should all acknowledge this and celebrate it.
Here is my grandfather in Palestine, 1942 (aged 32), having some 🍻 with some mates in the 2/11 Australia Infantry Battalion. He went on to survive campaigns in North Africa against the Nazis/Axis powers and the Japanese PNG. He died 20 years ago this week. My hero.
Double vaxxed, willing to test negative multiple times, willing to do 2 weeks quarantine?
Nope, still can’t travel to Western Australia from NSW.
Nobody is allowed, no exceptions.
Lost years for so many.
Liberal Party insiders in WA are already mulling whether TV personality and City of Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas should be made leader, with Mr Zempilas now considered a near certainty to join the party within the next fortnight. What's your view?
Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election! Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t Shady James Comey and the now disgraced FBI agents take and closely examine it? Why isn’t Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption!
Inner city Melbourne streets are currently 90% West Coast fans walking around like zombies after the red eye from Perth

Trying to wrap my head around the fact that the Government of Western Australia, a state of just 2.7 million people, managed to spend
$600 Million on rapid antigen Covid-19 tests. That’s a lot of iron ore royalties.
In my early - mid 20s I was struggling to find work in my field, hospitality saved me and gave me a fulfilling and rewarding place in the world.
My heart is breaking for the thousands of hospitality workers who will be suddenly unemployed tomorrow.
