Rural Australia, where the night sky shimmers and flickers and the birds are ascendant. Nature, art, books, podcasts, streamers, news and current affairs, food, and the diversity of humans. Oh and F1 because no-one's perfect.
This is so shameful after Albo's recent visit to PNG and the tightening of defence ties through a treaty. I am pretty sure defence includes providing assistance to children at all times.

She really is something. Another brilliant Aussie flying under the radar in so many ways; she is smart, funny, warm and has the ability to disarm her guests. Her love of music is contagious and her knowledge mammoth. If you're not watching Take 5 with Zan Rowe review your life choices!

Good on you Asher, great thought and reading-the-room of our societal issues, beautifully put.

So glad to hear it, thanks.

No, Netanyahu, for all our faults, if Hamas were next door to Melbourne/Sydney, we'd not be killing 10s of 1000s of babies, children, elderly = civilians en masse. For all our apathy to hit the streets/protest, say, compared to the French, killing innocent people is something most Aussies abhor.

I don't want to appear greedy but is it too much to want Dutton to not only lose the election but to lose Dickson too?
The rest of the world is passing Australia by. We need forward thinking good solid public policy in all our interests.
Many countries offer their publics far more.

She is a classy dude. I love that she brings a professional background in health to Parliament, a bit of real world.

Trump's just pissed Zelenskyy didn't yield to his fearsome or dynamic personality - whichever would have worked - and allow him to keep his promise of ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine in a day, like he said he could do. He is equally pissed with Putin but less vocal about him in this instance

Mark Kenny, you utter keystone writer. You have covered everything beautifully here. The great privilege of running Australia requires The Lodge. Kirribilli House is for all of us. If we're not entertaining foreign dignitaries it should be available off and on for good causes/public access, not PMs.

Nor should we, and we should have started backing off the US some decades ago and asserting our own persona. It's time not only for a republic in Australia but for us to stand more on our own two feet and stop fighting USA's wars and enemies.
