Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

The new ABC CEO is the same Hugh Marks who hosted a $10,000 a head Liberal Party fundraiser at Nine's headquarters.
Wow.
We'll now have a middle-aged white male who supports conservative causes in charge of the ABC.
What a refreshing change.
I mean . . . I can hardly wait.

If you just ignore existing state and federal laws, the cost of nuclear waste, water use, decommissioning costs, rising construction costs, building a new industry from scratch, the falling cost of renewables and the fact that Dutton’s figures are blatantly cooked, his plan is actually reasonable.

If only there was the same level of angst about Trump's crimes and pardons as there is Hunter and Joe's.
What a monumental set of double standards.
Anyhoo, glad I live the other side of the world

Hmm. My manager is a catchfart
Word of the day is ‘catchfart’, from the 17th century, used of a servant who followed their master or mistress a little too closely.
In today’s terms, a catchfart is someone who fawns upon the boss or who follows the political wind.
