I was once ogling a woman walking on the other side of the street. I turned around just in time to walk into a No Standing sign. There were witnesses. There was a bus full of people with neurological disorders. The bus was rocking as they all laughed.

The very first one is pertinent to Australia and the AUKUS deal. The US wants Australia to guarantee that we will participate in the defence of Taiwan before they will sell us submarines.

Thanks a lot for that video.

I really cannot understand how people taking about the world-wide increase in anti-semitism (including Bibi) make no link to what is going on in Gaza.

Great column.

Charlie and I were at the beach again. Glad to be back from San Francisco.

Charlie near the water's edge. Very messy surf.

Excellent! I wonder if Sussan can do a Menzies and leave that rabble to sink into oblivion.

Peter Briggs was probably one of the best managers I have worked under. Well respected by all his subordinates in the navy. I can understand his reasoning for nuclear subs, but I think time has changed. I am with Paul Keating.

Hasn't the push to the right been made to attract One Nation voters? Preference swaps with Pauline, etc. I think Liberals should take the advice of the Young Liberals. Stop watching Sky After Dark.

One of the problems with OR in English is that it generally used as a decision between two alternatives. For example, we can go to see The Modern Lovers OR Television. So its general use is XOR.
