Hoping Taylor gets the nod - kind of partial to Tories being eaten alive 🫣 in Question Time.

Likewise being hosed down on ABC News Morning. The wording "protests turned violent" ambiguously places the violence in the hands of protesters. The evidence categorically demonstrates the opposite. Tanya Plibersek suggested the vision was concerning and suspected there would be investigations.🤔

Les describes the situation in such a spare, clear eyed way. Powerful - everybody should read this. 👍

No waving in Oz. The selective head nod or nothing. Harley riders are exempt. No biggie.

America - the never ending sitcom. To be honest we're all a bit sick of it. Time for the 2 hour finale where the central character (cue the strings or gentle gospel choir) has his final reckoning please.

The Japanese must be very conflicted - smiling politely for cashed up Australian neanderthals, with zero respect for culture, zero manners and zero self awareness while they treat an international host with absolute contempt. Smacks of ignorant entitlement.

Happy to report that Randa Abdel Fattah will be speaking at our upcoming Writers Festival in Newcastle. Festival spokesperson was interviewed on local news - said the author had some important things to say and that she was very welcome.

50+ years later, this remains the benchmark for full flight improv. and live creativity. More than just a document of classic "Southern Rock", the level of sophistication in arrangement, intuition, and execution is off the chart. Goes without saying that we were robbed by Duane's early demise.

What an absolute fuckwit. The sooner we formalise the actual decoupling of Australia from the imaginary US - Australia Alliance, the better.

Australia here Anders. Our spineless government is bent over waiting to receive orders from Washington (or Tel Aviv) - so the US will not be absolutely alone ... apparently 🫤

Unsurprising. The usual US foreign policy hijinks, just without the congressional support, obligatory motherhood statements, moralising, and complicity of "allies" ( the complicity will come overtly or by silence). Choke on your exceptionalism.

Hard to see how many RCs, how much legislation, how many Dept. reviews could detect 2 sweaty individuals with psychotic grievances, fiddling with their arms cache in a garden shed in the great Australian suburban wasteland, not speaking a word of their evil intent, from acting out in future.

Just like Sisyphus, "forgive and forget" is the stone we continue to roll up hill and forever make the same mistakes.
Epstein is also dead - just let that one through to the keeper ?
I get that your message is a peaceful one - to paper over the truth is a dangerous approach.
All the best.
