John Howard has done precisely two good things in his wretched life - institute gun control and disappear from the public eye - and this week he’s pissed both up against the wall

Predictably, News Corp have ignored teachers’ pleas for them to stop pitting schools against each other by publishing uncontextualised rankings. Since they’ve ignored this, I’m sharing the list of Australia’s most untrusted brands. News Corp number 8 - should be higher! A toxic stain on Australia.

What a hoot. Enjoy

Been a while since I had this much fun in the studio. Apart from during Mystery Hour, of course. Not sure they made this cut but there at least two occasions when I nearly lost it completely.

ICYMI, our entire #4Corners, Big Brethren, is here. Posting YouTube so international viewers can watch. Thank you to all of the incredibly brave people who spoke to us. m.youtube.com/watch?v=lFEI...

Australia: where you get raped inside Parliament House and end up being bankrupted because the boss who did nothing to help you is offended by anyone pointing that out. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We are paying Jillian Segal $1,000 a day plus the salaries of her SIX taxpayer funded staffers etc etc etc, all up costing Australians well over $1 million a year ... for this. This is completely unacceptable on every level, @albomp.bsky.social. Fix this. End this. #auspol

When will Australia grow up?

Luna Palace Cinemas in WA have given David Stratton 5 stars! 🎥 😊 #film

Today Michaelia Cash reckons PM should ‘hang his shed in shame’ yes she meant head, but she’s incapable of enunciating such trivial detail. Remember yonks & yonks ago Abbott said PM Gillard should ‘hang her head in shame’. The famous misogyny speech followed. Is Cash just recycling talking points

Matt Golding's cartoon is beautiful. #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza 🇵🇸 🍉 #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

I just watched a section of Logies The VOICE won best entertainment program. Ok they then mentioned that’s the 2nd in a row. OK. So we vote twice for the VOICE and then a big fat no to another VOICE. It struck me. PS Jelania Dokic speech …. brilliant

In our Australian Parliament today, the Opposition vacated the house so completely avoid even voting for or against a bill. That’s not going to improve our national productivity one iota. Sad and confounding.

Nice to be tagged by Cockburn Library in honour of the shortlisting of Jilya for the WA Premiers Writers Awards for non fiction book of the year. A great pic from my recent author talk with beautiful Kimberley girl, Leanne Dolby who did a brilliant job interviewing me on stage about Jilya.

Former Independent MP Zoe Daniel discusses her fight for the seat of Goldstein and the hate campaign launched against her in this must-see video podcast. Indy Eye: Zoe Daniel's fight for every Goldstein vote ~ @michellepini.bsky.social independentaustralia.net/life/life-di...

Congratulations to @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social on today's victory! May her bravery & the judgment from Rangiah J send a clear message to panicked, supine cultural institutions to stop throwing their artists, journalists & other employees under the bus.

"if #Robodebt can be rewarded, then nothing is off limits. If we don’t speak up, we are agreeing — in silence — to live in a nation where cruelty is policy and honour means survival at the top." 💥🎯 #ScottyFromRobodebt #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

I’ve always enjoyed interviews, panels & political discussions where I learn something and can trust those involved in the conversations. I’m really enjoying @theshot.net.au & Jo, Dave, Denise & guests every Sunday, so thank you all 😊 #auspol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t...

It’s been a long process, and, after a recount of about 75% of the votes cast, there were only a few votes in it. Today we did not win. But we are not defeated. Hard things are hard, and a better kind of politics is worth fighting for. See you in 2028? Maybe! Link to video youtu.be/mpkeFXjpkk0

The optics of the Labor government responding to a flood emergency in rural Australia, while the “party of rural Australians” rips itself apart playing politics is really a sight to behold. #auspol

Senator Bridget Mackenzie, please stop gaslighting in press conferences and interviews by claiming Nationals represent 9 million rural Australians. At current count (excluding combined LNP Queensland) Nationals vote across Australia is 588,755 or 3.80% Lazy journalists need to fact check her too

I think it's gone unnoticed how many indies just barely missed out this time. 0.05% off Bradfield (?) 0.1% off Goldstein 0.3% off Bean ~1% off Forrest ~1% off Monash 1% off Fremantle ~1% off Grey ~2% off Fisher 2% off Flinders 2.5% off in Cowper 3% off Wannon ~3% off in Lyne Calwell still unknown

Laura Tingle asks “who’s going to be going back into culture wars after this election result?” “Not just in politics, Newscorp was in it up to their armpits.”🔥💯 #AusVotes25

Tonight, Australia voted No to ignorance & Yes to Acknowledgement; No to xenophobia & Yes to Welcomes; No to regression & Yes to progress. Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. They’ve been thoroughly told NO.

OK My thoughts are with Antony Green. His last appearance for our FedElection & and what a doozy. Hope he can “call it” by 11pm. I will toast this aussie psephologist, acknowledge his skills and quirky direct analysis. Also I’ll wear his Tshirt

A beautiful explanation from Tagalaka and Gumatj man Conor Bowdenn of what Welcome to Country actually is. Watch and share widely (and for more follow Conor on Insta at @conorbowdenn).

It’s a week till election night. Next Saturday also marks a huge end of an era with the last election for @antonygreenelec.bsky.social. What a marvellous service he has done for the nation. I propose a minute’s silence from politics nerds around the country to give him thanks. #auspol ⭐️

OK. The corflutes are the new democracy sausage. Damn. We miss out again I guess.

Been volunteering on prepoll station again today in regional SA for Independent Anita Kuss Our electorate is huge, bigger than NSW in area so difficult for all candidates to be in each town of. The Libs descended on us today and are a bit nasty. One came & told me what I can or can’t say to a voter

I’m in regional SA and attending pre polling all week for our Independent Anita Kuss. This post below is a beauty

I listened to the Opposition leader this morning on ABC Talking Pints. It was a waste of ABD time and $$$$ cos he can’t/won’t provide any details. What’s the point of Dutts if he is soooo unproductive
