  Multicultural Affairs Minister Anne Aly, who is Australia's first Muslim federal parliamentarian, said the government's responses go to "addressing some of the most significant manifestations of Islamophobia". "For the very first time, the very first time in the history of this country, we have a government that is willing to recognise that Islamophobia exists," she said. #auspol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-18/pm-releases-government...

  This is the bookleaf mallee Eucalyptus Kruseana. The branches develop leaves around the stem, then grow buds and flowers, then more leaves. It is a bit like a kebab! #WesternAustralia #bloomscrolling

  Just rang the office of my MP Dr Anne Aly to express my concern re the ABC reports of government plans to further restrict work rights and appeal rights for asylum seekers, among other immigration changes. I suggested that you can't follow the right wing parties into restrictive immigration policies in any way that will satisfy them. Give them a concession, they will demand more. You can call your MP with the help of this site from the ASRC. #auspol #asylumPolicy https://action.asr...

  Oh friends. Dora crossed the rainbow bridge last night. We were her third family, but we had her for 15 years. She was constantly distainful of our food service, which was never early enough. She inspected every quilt I made.She wisely hid under the bed when our grandchildren came over. We gave her a quiet home in which she thrived. Rest in peace.
