So I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but turns out you totally can nail a coffin shut from the inside. Fastastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

👆 This. I read it last year. 10/10 recommend. No hype. Clear analysis by @stephenmarche.bsky.social

Just finished reading eerily-prescient book The Next Civil War (Stephen Marche ISBN 1-9821-2321-5). It's contentious, historical & political; it's also happening now in the US. Crazy, even frightening to think what the author wrote about in 2022 is happening before our very eyes. Today. Every day.

Who did the due diligence and still thought drug testing minors without parental consent was a good idea? sandiloganauthor.com/2026/04/04/a...

When local MP Kristy McBain blame-shifts & her staff make excuses, my tolerance & patience wear thin. Just. Get. It. Done. So ALL of Mystery Bay has mobile coverage. As Kristy McBain recently said: "In 2026 connectivity is no longer a nice to have, it is an absolute necessity”. Got it bit.ly/47WlXc0

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Excellent resource allocation by the party that boasts about being economically superior. They got one Tim Wilson and Labor got 94 of 150 available seats. Shrewd.

The greatest gift anyone could ever give me was helping this little book beat Tony Abbott’s myth making of Australia. Thank you 😭

What would be the most Canadian thing to do for PM @MarkJCarney (below) when he visits Canberra - an ice hockey game? Travelling media would love it - enough suits/speeches/soggy sandwiches. Carney played hockey for Harvard (84-86) and Oxford (92-95). www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2025/03....

Thanks to ABC666 Saskia Mabin 'Canberra Morning' for the opportunity to share the good news on a pilot beginner curling progam coming to tje national capital! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... (From 45':45 " -- 54':45") @thecurlingnews.bsky.social #forzaus #winterolympics

Needed in MSM news but unlikely. Never perfect, but there was a range of MSM voices, and sensible background and analytical articles readily available to all consumers of news. If people wanted tabloid drama and gotchas, they knew they were consciously purchasing them. Lots of same song sheet now.

Curling is coming to Canberra in the form of a beginner program at Phillip Ice Rink. Blame (in a good way) the Winter Olympics! Keep an eye on ACT Ice Sports' website for full details when the program is finalised including dates, times and other requirements. See comments for link.

@tonyburkemp.bsky.social is absolutely on top of his brief on the repatriation of ISIS brides/wives & why their horrific decision to take their children into a war zone had serious consequences —today. Yet 40 ISIS fighters & wives returned under the Coalition which is ignored! Ain’t easy. #abc730

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"I do not fear different cultures or languages ... most people, no matter their nationality, fall into two categories: parents who want to help their children succeed in life, and youth chasing their dreams." Stunning read via Stdeve Scherer. Be surprised! bit.ly/4qR3pRO

So think about these two facts: 1.The US imported almost $6B worth Danish pharmaceuticals in 2023: mostly Novo Nordisk's Ozempic & Wegovy diabetes/weight loss. $1B of that $6B was insulin: 75%of total US consumption. Do we all get why the Danish PM said in Davos "everything is on the table now"?

LOSER. A new definition of loser as epitomised by Linda Reynolds. Be gone with yourself, woman. You're a disgrace to all women, in fact to all humankind. Go quickly, quietly. You're still irrelevant. And most importantly: you are NOT the victim no matter how much you want us to believe you are.

With ACT developers Geocon's (lessees) support, the ACT Ice Sports Fed'n petition (calling on the design/build and project reporting of the new twin-sheet ice sports facility in Tuggeranong to be expedited), is now available to be signed upon entry at the Phillip ice rink. Let's. Do. It!

Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal can’t explain why she releases statements condemning Pro Palestinian protesters but then stayed quiet when Neo Nazis rallied outside NSW parliament Segal “I take your point” Not good enough. She’s failed Jewish people and Australians. #Estimates

Starting December 10, sites that meet the Australian government's definition of an "age-restricted social media platform" will need to show that they're doing enough to eject or block children under 16 or face fines of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars ($32 million). https://cnn.it/48kl1h6

11 out of 12 NHMRC ideas grants are rejected. Our medical researchers are scrambling to eke out a living on meagre salaries and short term contracts, while populist grifters like Hanson, on high salaries and ‘side gigs’, make out like bandits Something is seriously wrong with this picture, AUS

Only 35 days to Christmas ...

Campaign supporting ACT Government's backing of a new twin-sheet ice sports facility on a site in Tuggeranong in Canberra (made available to facilitator/developers Cruachan Investments & Pelligra Group in 2022), has gained significant momentum. Sign the petition! See comments for link.

Ice sports lovers everywhere! Canberra's ACT Ice Sports Federation needs your support on its petition for a new facility. (If you don't have a local address, no dramas; your signature will still be helpful.) Please, please sign and share this widely. epetitions.parliament.act.gov.au/details/e-pe...

But obviously in Australia we'd never let govt agencies use algorithms to generate false debts based on artificial assumptions, so this should be fine ...

My latest blog is up with some startling news and podcast insights. And ... there's a rare Christmas offer for you all. Check it out. sandiloganauthor.com/2025/11/16/d...

'A House of Dynamite' on Netflix -- absolute must watch. youtube.com/watch?v=_wpw... Then read Annie Jacobsen's 'Nuclear War: A Scenario' (ISBN 978-0593476093).

As a friend opined overnight in response to the US President's snarky comment about Kevin Rudd (of whom I am no great fan): "Australia to Trump: We don't like you and we probably never will." Hear, hear. (To my many American friends, this does not mean you!)

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

OH. MY. GOODNESS. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE CATCH BY ROBERT CARTER JR. FOR THE INTERCEPTION 🤯🔥 #CFL

Does Canada’s justice system need reforming to better protect survivors of sexual violence? Or is this the outcome that supports the mantra "justice will prevail"? www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

Any wonder ACT Libs were very quiet during Brindabella Christian College fiasco & its multi-million bankruptcy! "The report also found...around $30,000 in political donations to the Liberal Party were charged to the company’s corporate credit card." region.com.au/former-brind...

Black smoke rises from coal-fired power station, the traditional sign that the Liberal Party has chosen a new leader. 😂 #auspol #LibSpill

LNP needs to remove Safi as a candidate. Bots posting fake reviews for non-existent companies linked to fake addresses. He’s completely untrustworthy www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

This election is a choice between @australianlabor.bsky.social that’s delivering cost of living relief, strengthening Medicare and building a stronger economy, or the Liberals who are all about tax hikes, lower wages and secret cuts. #auspol #ausecon

Has the ship sailed on 'Paladin Pete' Dutton as a newsworthy issue? Seems relevant again for some reason ... 👇 #auspol #election25

Absent for years on full pay for a personal matter, this shadow foreign minister David Coleman now wants us to take him seriously — when the Chinese wdn’t even return Morrison’s or his ministers’ calls — that the LIBs can be tough with the USA/Trump tariffs. Absolute failures.
