Flying from Sydney to Melbourne this morning, this moment really struck me.

Beside me sat a man proudly wearing a bright red “Make Australia Great Again” cap. Directly opposite, in the same row, was former Australian Labor party leader Bill Shorten.

Ideologically, you probably couldn’t find two people further apart. Yet there they were: polite, calm, just two citizens sharing a flight.

It also feels like this is something wonderfully Australian. A country where a former Prime Minister hopeful can travel without fanfare or a security detail, and where opposing views can quietly coexist without hostility or headlines.

Seems to me Australia’s already pretty great! 🇦🇺

This all unfolding while Australians are kidnapped and abused by Israel is kinda gross, I know there is fear and hurt in the local Jewish community but I'm always struck by the lack of compassion evident for all victims in these Oct 7 pieces

A day's worth of October 7 anniversary reporting painstakingly devoid of any broader context before or after that day hits really awkwardly when we all know what was and is happening; context isn't inherently exculpatory, you're not Hamas for doing your actual job

RIP Tilly Norwood, killed in a tragic/suspicious jetski accident that left Dolph Lundgren with serious but non-life-threatening pectoral injuries

I appreciated 'Everyone in this novel speaks like a Raymond Chandler detective who has been drafted into an Aussie lamb ad'
