Grandad, fisho, cyclist, left winger. I don't post much, but like to know what others are thinking.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Dan Purdie is Queensland's police minister. A former Qld police officer with 25 years experience. He knows we can't have young officers walking into another Wieambilla situation. However, he's frustrated like all Queenslanders with an impotent premier. #auspol

I am grateful to the Catholic family that invited the PM to attend the St Mary’s Cathedral funeral and who called for a ban on the Adler rifle let into the country by Tony Abbott and used to kill innocent Jews at Bondi.

You would think one fucking Very Serious Commentator would’ve realised this by now, but seems no
It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

Queensland's vaccination levels have fallen to a 20yr low with the Crisafulli government disinterested to date. The Newman government was poor on public health too. In 2012 they cancelled the whooping cough vaccination program. It led to tragedy. #qldpol youtu.be/g_6pPOONerU

Screening now on ABC News; Paula Powers and Bridgette Powers. Screened earlier this year on Australian Story. The world was amazed with their ability to talk in unison. We south-east Queenslanders have been amazed with them for decades.

Governing under influence? Prior to the Bondi attack, Qld Premier David Crisafulli refused to commit to the Coroner's Wieambilla recommendations. His ministers were meeting with firearms lobbyists. The Qld LNP has collected more than $150k in firearms related donations. #qldpol

Josh Frydenburg climbing over a pile of bodies to launch his political comeback is genuinely one of the most repulsive things I've witnessed in Australian politics. Have some shame.

The very core of a Frydenberg's political career in three minutes. The best part though is Andy Vesey's cameo face (AGL CEO at the time) during the whole malarky (the guy on the left of screen)

Turfing Frydenberg is one of the best things Victorians have done. It’s been vindicated again by his conduct this week: turning an atrocity into a desperate attempt to revive his political career.

I want to drive a dump truck of cow manure to the Microsoft headquarters and drop it off in the lobby as a thank you.

They didn't ask for it, they didn't want it, but maybe they can figure out how to get rid of it.
Is there a way to get this mind-numbing Co-Pilot shit off Microsoft Word?
