The South Australian Premier on ABC radio “ I absolutely made it very clear to the board that I did not think it was wise to have someone who has been accused of antisemitism at best or done it at worst , appearing at Writers’ Week”.

A City. #genuary day 8 #genuary8 #genuary2026 A city made of words, the words of the great book "Le città invisibili" (Invisible Cities) by Italo Calvino.

This was one of the recommendations from the Royal Commission into the 2019-2020 bushfires, by the way.

The cost of a fully-fitted out water bomber fleet suited to Australia’s needs is around $25m. We could fund that for 30 years with just one AUKUS sub down payment. Would come in handy on days like these.

Happy sunset from the little farm. #littlefarm

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

Finally caught a photo of the baby Koel being fed by one of the now smaller Wattle Birds. Poor things must be exhausted by how much their cuckoo eats. cc @binchicken9000.bsky.social

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Not a word about Aboriginal deaths in custody (33 in 2025) Not a word about DV deaths (58 women and 15 men in 2025) Not a word about homelessness (who knows what misery) Not a word about kids who go to sleep hungry. Israel's voice to parliament.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

A juvenile (female?) Eastern Koel. This one is being raised by a pair of Wattle birds who’ve been cuckoo’d again.

Busy year of exhibitions, here’s my video piece Horizons and some giclée print stills at Articulate Project Space in Leichhardt, Sydney. #DigitalArt #Generative

Just a bucket full of ducklings doing duckling things #ducklings

So. Many. Ducklings. I fricking love my life. #ducklings #farmlife #littlefarm

Even more ducklings!

Happy 71st birthday to Christmas baby Annie Lennox 😍

I grilled some nectarines with a bit of honey and salt, added raspberry pulp and yoghurt. Put it in the ice cream churn and I think I’ve created rhubarb gelato.

To the Opposition laying into Penny Wong for not publicly crying for Bondi GRIEF ISN'T PERFORMATIVE Someone's heart breaking can take a thousand forms #auspol

The reason I ask is because, like most culture wars bullshit, it is just that - culture wars bullshit that was pre-arranged. Nothing organic about it Everything you see and hear around this needs to be questioned and verified

This sulphur crested cockatoo appears to be distressed and stuck hanging upside down but I've heard a few people say they and other cockatoos and parakeets do this for fun or display. #Birds #AustralianWildlife
