I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If the Nationals had any political intelligence (they don’t) they would elect Darren Chester as leader. He’s the only one in that whole bunch who could possibly appeal to a wider base

Loving Angela Catterns on ABCSydney radio (702). Noooooo don’t bring ‘Macca’ back- he is boring and bad mannered

The Libs will never win back government if they keep putting men like Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie up to be their leader. So go for it boys!

Mathias Cormann - Secretary General of the OECD - recommends that Australia increase the GST. If he believes that Australia needs more money, perhaps when he was a Liberal Finance Minister he shouldn’t have opposed the mining tax and the price on carbon. theaimn.net/a-taxing-pro...

One of the things I was most worried about is starting to come to fruition. RFK Jr. will succeed in eliminating all of our vaccines if allowed to remain in office. His disinformation campaign and the falling demand for vaccines will cause American companies to stop making them.

Hastie and his backers are delusional. Australians have had enough of misogynist men who believe a big sky daddy wants men in charge.

Jeez watching Canavan on ABCnews - and thinking there’s no way he should ever be in charge of our nation. Never ever people

The ole Liberal boys are busy measuring du*cks instead of supporting their party. They all want to be leader no matter how diminished their party becomes. Some things never change

Bridget and Matt. With Speers. Jeez Let’s see what’s on 3

Speers interviewing Matt Canavan - can’t imagine anything I’d like NEVER to watch, ever! Sorry 7:30 Hope things improve for you

The Nationals stumble over their egos - yet again. I think Littleproud, McKenzie et al have no idea how little they matter to the rest of us

Solid. My @smh cartoon.

So funny. Scott Morrison, who secretly appointed himself to five ministries while PM, accuses Albo of ‘weak leadership’ and being ‘delusional’.

“Australian travellers have given the Trump presidency a resounding thumbs down,” writes Greg Jericho, Chief Economist at The Australia Institute. Read the full piece on The Point: thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Bloody hell the criticism of Albo over the Bondi murders is so stupidly politicised. Can you imagine an alternative govt in charge - Sussan, Angus, Andrew? Spare us. Not a leader amongst them

Another example of why is it mad for Australia to fully fund religious schools. This is how private schools (vast majority are religious) divide our society

Smoke haze over the CBD this afternoon

It’s so good to be able to listen to ABC Sydney 702 on a Sunday! Can’t stand it with Macca and normally Sunday is the only day of the week I am not tuned in. If only they’d put him out to pasture for good

I’m so sick of all the sports talk on ABC Sydney 702. Can’t wait ‘til things get back to normal

Honestly, the ABCtv reporting breathlessly on the sixth place in an old rich man’s expensive yacht race! Not one soul around here gives a stuff. Spare us

(🦋) BLUESKY NEWS: The South African Sociopath—everyone knows who I mean—has apparently just made a series of changes to Twitter that launched a new exodus. The per-second growth rate here at BlueSky is now *more than triple* what it was yesterday. So welcome, Twitter refugees! This is *way* better.

To be honest i agree with you. One of Albo's developing strengths is the way he can hold onto a sense of balance and calm, in the midst of all this chaotic distress and accusation. He's also good at communicating genuine emotion, which is a vital skill right now.

I agree. He has experience and he’s calm under considerable pressure and even tempered when criticised.

And just for the record - I don’t give a stuff about the race sponsored by Rolex. (That deal says it all really.)

Well I think @albomp.bsky.social is doing a good job. He’s giving us calm, considered leadership at a time when hearts are breaking, hounds are mindlessly braying and the far right is doing its best to divide us. Of all the people who could possibly be leading us, I believe we are lucky it’s Albo

New cameras using AI have been installed in southern New South Wales forests and are spotting fires before they have a chance to spread.

About time! International companies are being forced to supply gas from Australia to Australians first. Honestly - why does that even have to be mandated ?

Jeez members of the opposition thumping their lecterns in anger as they make a political point against the PM. Don’t they realise how absolutely inappropriate that is?

In every Australian state and the NT, churches cannot be held vicariously liable for historical child sexual abuse perpetrated by their priests. Grace Tame is leading the charge for change.

Selective public schools in NSW have been taken over by wealthy and privileged families. They no longer fulfil the mission they were established for. Time for a big rethink of the whole shabang

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

Bondi politic. My @smh @theage cartoon.

And then she says - the purpose our questions is to get strong answers and we certain got that. (Oh Josh)

She doesn’t give up - as he displays his red faced anger at the question about his comeback

And then asks him how do we not make of this - that you’re making a comeback? He responds angrily

Josh Frydenberg is in contortions trying to blame Albanese for the Bondi massacre. Sarah is giving enough rope. Then she points out that rather than blaming, shouldn’t we be bringing people together?

So Josh is planning a come back? Sussan is on the way out for sure

Of course NSW public schools have “little interest” in the International Baccalaureate. We have the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) which is recognised world wide as a great school exit assessment. No need in any of our schools for the IB.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

Two men. My @smh cartoon.

Susan Ley’s moves to blame Albanese shows how out of touch the Libs are with voters. It was not the time to play politics - we were all in shock with heavy hearts and needed our leaders to join us together and reassure us. But but the Libs failed spectacularly to do that

How wonderful 40,000 blood donations already. People around here were turned away from donating yesterday as the blood collection agencies were booked out.

Phil Coorey is so partisan. Jeez so annoying to hear him blah off on ABC radio Sydney

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Hooray! Ahmad al Ahmad's name has finally passed the lips of someone on TV, with @tonyburkemp.bsky.social singling him out for mention in a presser just now. It's a start in the recognition of this very brave man #auspol #Bondi

Our thoughts are with the victims of last night's terror attack in Bondi, as well as their communities. If you can, please help out by giving blood which is desperately needed right now: app.lifeblood.com.au/XW3k/d9wncrn5

FS the ABC now stirring up more shit by broadcasting people blaming certain politicians and immigrants generally. That’s exactly the result terrorists want

Fabulous column in the @smh today by Gayle McNaught on the social media ban fiasco. (Also, love your creds Gayle.)

So silly. The only way to ban kids from social media is to take away all of their devices. (And stop them from spending any time with friends who have them.) Now they will be using it under the radar (plus pretending to be older) and in much more danger
