Mean Streak has been shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards in the non-fiction category. Stoked, of course, but particularly because I think this episode deserves to linger in the consciousness for as long as possible.

I feel silly asking this. FaceBook folks saying Labour only won on preferences!
TallyRoom says National first preferences Turnout 90.70% Labour won
I presumed this was people’s 1st vote (First past the post) and the above statement was incorrect

For some on the centre/left there’s nobody on your ballot you really want to support.
Please still lodge a valid vote!
Start numbering highest from who you really don’t want to get in (LNP, PHON etc) & work backwards to 1.

Dutton promised to cut waste but now wants to move to Sydney's Kirribilli House if he wins. This will be significantly more expensive for taxpayers.
When challenged by the media he said he would work from home some days a week to cut down on travel costs.😳 #auspol #qanda #abc730

PM Dutton would dodge The Lodge for Kirribilli. Can’t blame him. But is this WFH or WTF?
Peter Dutton wants to live in Kirribilli if he’s elected PM. But it’s not near his constituency or his workplace. Is he going to work from home? Surely not.

Apropos of Ms Ferguson's #4Corners report, be reminded that the first large for-profit child care chain in Australia was the now-defunct ABC Learning, started in Brisbane in 1988. It expanded rapidly thanks to increasing Howard government subsidies, partly supported by deals with Dutton...
