“As long as the night of error obscures this….truth, then “there is no room for others either, for children, for the poor, for the stranger”…Yet, where there is room for the human person, there is room for God; even a stable can become more sacred than a temple.”

Is there a line with "view from nowhere" reporting at the ABC? Do they have to report the false claims of every dictatorship in the same way as the Trump Administration?

Nobody seems to be highlighting that the new Pope is a mathematician.

I look forward to the reprint of his book flying off the shelves.

Is the ABC election computer broken?

These two images don't match up

Yep, when you hear that mining is huge, remember they mean the profits are huge...

The Hospitality industry pays more wages to Australians than does mining.

I am shocked at this.

I thought it would be higher.

Universal.
My @smh cartoon.
