OMG someone invented plastic brass instruments ozwinds.com.au/nuvo-jhorn-min…
I might just end up with my own little plastic orchestra. I can't believe this guy is playing a piece I used to learn on a plastic trumpet. The internet has finally blown my mind.
A plastic euphonium. I'm a bit speechless atm.

My son's father moved in with his new girlfriend 2 weeks before I gave birth right after he 'donated' his sperm to me to you know, stimulate labour. Men are generous to a fault.
This was way back when the gov was literally just introducing the Child Support Agency. Father told me if I went thru them I'd never get any child support. Gov told me it would be better than court. I never got a cent from CSA till I lobbied gov to introduce a compulsory minimum.
I only got $40 a week for the 8 weeks either side of the birth but only because a feminist legal service (who knew local circumstances) took the father to court. CSA gave me zip till my son started working! Then only $5 per fortnight?

I just love the way SBS news is not explaining that the census is now being used to join a data across all portfolios (in it's pro census story). Because that's not a story, right?
I've never quite felt the same about the ABC news since their coverage of the 2016 census in which they didn't inform their audience that MAJOR changes to our census were being made. The Parl Inquiry critiqued the ABS but not the media for their role in keeping everyone ignorant!
The only reason I realised anything was worth paying attention to at all with the census was because the Pirate Party raised concerns about it & I decided to make an effort to find out if there was any reason to take issue with it. My research turned into ausgov.info/index.php?Topi…

Imagine if someone decided to copyright the guitar and no one was allowed to make them or play them? de.gofundme.com/f/bf7f6-save-t…
Steelpan drums have a long history in the Caribbean yet a couple of white dudes turned it upside down & created a new instrument then decided no one else was allowed to make them.

Listened to this amazing concert while I was having a lie down. Still listening. I've fallen in love with the drum (wait till you hear the solo) and wind instrument. If you know what they are please share
This seems to be the wind instrument en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaval
Or, more accurately en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ney

I recently decided to put high level summaries (usually maps) on the landing pages of each of my projects. Commonwealth Grants (by Minister, electorate, fin year, category, program etc) #AusGovInfo ausgov.info/grants/index.p…
I recently geo-located political donations to their source postcodes (where available) & tallied by electorate to show how support for different parties is split within each electorate #AusGovInfo ausgov.info/recipient/inde…
With charities data I've estimated numbers on JobKeeper by electorate & tallied with welfare recipient numbers to provide context for what charities are facing in each electorate. #AusGovInfo ausgov.info/charities/inde…
