Declaring war in a baseball cap. Adding insult to intellectual and moral injury.

This was all approved, and above board, and likely the building I am in did similar when it was built- but gosh it hurts. Hope the replacements are numerous and well tended. Vale lovely euc.

This is the very question I put to the Aged Care Minister in Question Time two weeks ago. Isn’t a computerised assessment system which cuts support for vulnerable Australians, causing distress and suffering, just another form of Robodebt?

Get fucked. Sorry but just get fucked.

I’m old enough to remember why I saved up $100 to buy a ticket to the Big Day Out — now I’m paying $100 to leave Woolworths.

Difficult. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Eligible for citizenship after 4 years, then Australia might actually be able to elect its favourite politician ... #auspol #nzpol

I cannot think of a funnier or more appropriate summary of the state of the news industry in 2026 than “the Onion has more subscribers than the Washington Post” please help make it happen

Did have a chuckle at the architect describing their project as being experienced, ‘in three dimensions’ this morning.

Great cartoon

Thought this was an artwork…then I realised…it is…just the natural kind…

This is an important, cumulative summary of overreach in the tightening of laws over decades by both major parties.

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

Tremendous news! Bravo!! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Ok - apparently the reason you can no longer buy Greek yoghurt in Sydney is a viral cheesecake tik tok…🧐

‘Taylor is used to inheritances. He is a son of the squattocracy. What he has inherited now is a party of second-rate zealots and apathetic timeservers. It is a party in need of vision. Whether Taylor has one is unknown, which after four terms should probably be a worry.’

“The contemporary obsession with free speech absolutism obscures the real work of culture. Unstructured openness is not a curatorial philosophy; it is abdication. Yet bureaucratic censorship is equally corrosive.” Marcia Langton

PM: “I have nothing but contempt for these people… “ ABC: What about the children? PM: “That is the responsibility of their parents and their mothers in particular… their mothers made this decision to travel overseas against the national interest…”

Did our illustrious leader accept the Board of Peace invitation? *sarcasm font*

Next month we'll hit 1000 days since the Murphy Report into gambling harm was handed down. More than 3 in 4 Australians want stronger gambling advertising laws, but the Govt continues to stall. Politicians from both major parties continue to accept donations, gifts & perks from gambling companies.

Bad immigrants. My @smh cartoon.

Well, this pretty much sums up the state of the world right now.

Was resisting This England because I cannot stand Boris..but the scenes of ordinary people coping with the early stages of the pandemic are very moving…

Looks to me like the SA government has leased prime public land to Walker Corp at $1/yr for 100 years. Despite many requests, Labor refuses to hand over the figures on its dealings with Walker Corp, talking ‘commercial in confidence’. What does Labor not want us to know?
