‘I’ve just got a text message from One Nation – How come and can I STOP them?’

You know things are going on when unsolicited political text messages start pinging on your smart phone. Like this one that arrived this morning from One Nation that doesn’t appear to have an unsubscribe/STOP function as it should have. One Nation Last November we wrote about the Whys & Wherefores of the Unsolicited Political Text Message and in light of today’s One Nation unsolicited text thought we should reprise it! It’s not a new phenomenon, the unsolicited political text message. Many Freo folk will remember the annoying unsolicited Clive Palmer-funded Trumpet of Patriots text messages pinging their smart phones during…

After The Game With Snaps Truly – Rd 13 2026 V North Melbourne

How do you pronounce Switkowski? The City of Bunbury, now apparently the Shinboners’ favourite home away from home and when you think about it, they’re probably a perfect match. Less a preferred destination these days, than something to be negotiated, driven around at speed, and bypassed on the road to somewhere much nicer. Freo as we know is on that road. I don’t want to be unkind, but many people outside the Golden West may only know of Bunbury from the time it made national headlines about a decade ago as the methamphetamine capital of WA. And today, Junior Truly said she couldn’t help thinking there might still be some weird waste water vibes tingling in the septics.  She might have been onto…
