Just love Grace Tame. And now watch the Murdoch stable of toadies and arselickers line up to blame Albo for this heinous insult to The Great Man.

There is widespread support for banning gambling ads on free-to-air media. The main objection is free-to-air networks can’t afford to lose the $$.

As @amyremeikis.bsky.social explains, there's a simple solution. A 2% levy on gambling revenue could more than replace all the lost ad income. #auspol

Still flabbergasted over the deputy Liberal party leader so casually saying supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza was necessary to ensure an ongoing relationship with the United States. Essentially that the deaths of thousands of children is OK because it'll make the US happy.

Jim Chalmers has just done the Coalitions heads in. Make the future fund invest in the future of Australians, is too much for them.
They thought it was their slush fund for the future.

More inclusive and accepting, more politically active, but also lonelier and less satisfied, younger Australians seem more different to their parents and grandparents than ever before.

Lonelier, unhappier but more welcoming: Younger Australians are a different people altogether
The divide between younger and older Australians is stark on a number of issues — perhaps most of all on how they feel about Australia and who is welcome here.

At the time Chris Masters had to heavily edit his original draft to get ‘Jonestown’ published.

It was still an eye-opener for many.

I wonder if Chris is ready to pull the trigger on the original version once Gloria’s trial is complete?
Published in 2006, a brilliant book from the inimitable Chris Masters. Still in print. Highly recommended. I think ABC Four Corners did a "Jonestown" episode by Chris Masters around the same time. May be worth looking up if it hasn't been destroyed. #ThePowerAndTheMythOfAlanJones
