“So you lost.”
“Really? I didn’t notice. Thanks for telling me, Brian.”
“You started off in front but blew it with poor policy.”
“Thanks, Brian.”
“Nuclear bombed.”
“Very funny, Brian.”
“On to more serious matters, how’s the fallout?”
“Fuck off, Brian.”

"I'm not totally plucked Brian. My goose is not cooked. And as Jane has indicated, the chicken has yet to be gutted, and in the fullness of time, we'll see what the entrails entail after we've seen the officlal offal results."
"They'll be offal?"
"We are expecting them to be pretty terrible Brian"

We’re ready!

It's important to consider whether Australia can survive more coal and gas.
If you use the metrics used by nearly every other country in the world, our emissions have hardly reduced at all.

The Presumption of Innocence Daily adopts a somewhat different approach when the acquitted person is, um, a woman of, um, colour

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022.

they had two options to arrest the decline:

1. win back trust with good governance & good policy
2. rig the system

tonight they chose to rig the system.

a dark day for australian democracy.

Yes, they successfully presented a case to the Commonwealth Public Prosecutor of a Serco prison guard smuggling crack up his arse.

(which was actually a case they inherited from the previous agency, the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity)

I wish I was joking Nick - alas I am not.

I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist".

Eh?

Fantastic to see the challenge to unfair and unreasonable political donation laws going to the High Court.

Major parties already have huge advantages. They don’t need extra special exemptions from complying with donation laws.

amp.abc.net.au/article/1049...

Buttrose wants us to believe she:

🫥wasn't aware Lattouf was Lebanese
🫥didn't care if L was removed, despite forwarding complaints on/informing complainants when she was/enjoying the congratulations
🫥only suggested L come down with Covid as a "face-saving suggestion"... for L?

Buttrose now trying to say "Can't she come down with flu or Covid" was a face saving suggestion for @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social.

Counsel now asking why did she need to save face?

(Buttrose absolutely stepped on the rake)

For decades Australians have been told a lie.
We’ve been told that only the major parties can govern.
But do you feel like they’ve been solving the problems we face?
As a voter said, “It’s a choice between sh*t, and sh*tter.”

Did you see this news!?

Heather Ruddock, the wife of former attorney-general Philip Ruddock, has quit the Liberal Party.

She said an unnamed federal Coalition MP told her that tertiary-educated women were “not the demographic we’re going for”

So she's voting independent🔥

In a cost-of-living crisis, with a federal election looming, we need the Liberal Party to tell us exactly what it plans on tax reform - and how taxpayer-funded long lunches will help our stagnant productivity.

Great to see the Senate crossbench getting results on cheaper electricity prices for Australians. Climate action is cost-of-living action.

Australia has the highest gambling losses in the world.

This decision by the government to dodge a tough issue is disappointingly gutless.
