"Participants say the proposed changes to capital gains tax could force ordinary Australians to make impossible sacrifices, such as delaying kitchen renovations on their second holiday home, or in some cases downgrading from imported marble to locally sourced stone." #auspol

Says it all.

This! ‘There's this recognition that on so many of these big challenges we are facing, it's not necessarily left versus right, it's actually vested interests and their stranglehold on the major parties versus the Australian people." #auspol #insiders www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Do yourself a big favour. This is fantastic. If this is how the revolution starts - I am in. #colbertforpresident

Genuinely looking forward to the Nolan Odyssey. The row about casting of Helen and Achilles shows how backward thinking has become. Both roles have inspired casting and make perfect sense by reflecting the original Greek mythology. #film www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

Just received a fantastic gift. Am really looking forward to reading Ms Palaszczuk’s book. And I recall this all too brief moment of state history - Premier, Police Commissioner, Chief Justice and Governor General. All Queensland women. #qldpol #auspol

Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson star in Alfred Hitchcock’s…

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

Charming. Moving. Makes me miss the UK. What a lovely tribute #attenborough100 youtu.be/I1D9YF0YapQ?...

Accurate Edit for Clarity: "He should live long enough to... be held accountable for his... crimes." Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate. 💙-mh

Good riddance. The ANU has been nothing but a shit-show for too long. And I always had the impression she was the PM who never was.. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Like Bunnings, Chemist Warehouse will not be the juggernaut in the UK as anticipated. Boots is a high street icon. And a very savvy marketer with their own desirable value brand. Another one bites the dust. #chemistwarehouse #boots www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So here’s a theory after watching an Andrew M-W piece.. Melania is in a lot of photos with him. The theory goes she was Epstein’s whatever then became Andrew’s and then Trump. Trump would love her history and no one would find out.. yet…maybe why she’s now so OTT about not being linked? #epstein

This is how Israel is depicted to the world now. A thug. A coward. A madman. Purposely attacking the vulnerable without cause or warning. Who wants to be associated with that? #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

This is just perfect. 😍

I am Spartacus

I am no James Comey fan. He made a huge contribution to Hillary Clinton losing in 2016. But this is an "I am Spartacus " moment. I am reposting Comey's seashells Arrest me motherfuckers.

#BrexitHasFailed #SmallBoats Regardless of your political beliefs, this is fact, not opinion. Nigel Farage was instrumental in making this happen by bringing about Brexit. #RejounEU #RejoinDublinAgreement

I would build a pilot plant for new ideas in food and drinks. I would have machinery purpose built by local engineers and robotic experts and source all the ingredients in Australia. I’d call it The Tuck Shop.

So I know participants in tomorrow’s march. They are not comfortable with his presence. This ‘sacred’ day has the makings of becoming a white nationalist sh*tshow. This is the opposite of the ANZAC spirit. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The hard 30%. Nothing can be said or done to change their minds. They will even support their own demise. I suggest it is closer to a hard 20 elsewhere and the extra 10 is for US specific fundamentalism and zealotry. #uspol

I am not sure what legal strategy is being used here, but this is high risk. For an accused to make such a statement before trial is normally prejudicial, open to contempt charges and compromises a jury. He could lose his release on bail. Bizarre. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Olympic rowing on the Fitzroy River is ridiculous to say and insane to envisage. No offence to Rocky rowers but it will have no legacy value for elite rowing. When the athletes and supporters realise where it is relative to the host city, I suspect many just won’t bother. #qldpol #2032

Brilliant. All AI and just… brilliant. #mustsee

Did you know.. The old saying is you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. That is true. But science has proven that you will catch all the flies.. with shit. I have just figured out why Trump is where he is. #trump #usnews

Attention airlines Your current practice of cancelling flights - especially from/to Brisbane - is now misleading and deceptive conduct. You are claiming its weather. We know it is fuel. You must make it clear at booking there is a HIGH chance of these flights never taking off. #jetstar #auspol

The Australian stereotype is a fair-go, true-blue larrikin who enjoys a laugh, a beer and to knock off early from work. They were never zealot flag-f***ers who hated immigrants and head stomped whoever. They also didn’t let ANZAC day get weird. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is so well done. 👌

Thanks to the Tony Michaels podcast. #uspol

What is woke? What is left wing lunacy? What is political correctness gone mad? These labels are applied on a spectrum from naivety to chaos. They are slurs and justifications for bigotry. For cruelty. But what are they? Can someone who uses the phrases above as insults - shed some light? #woke

Wow. This BRS martyrdom is hard to stomach. Between complicit and manipulative politicians to ignorant chest-beating veterans, the insult of asking TAXPAYERS to back his defence is disgusting. He’s already wasted $25m of Ch 7 shareholder money. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

So this is NEXT WEEKEND. Not sold out. And in doing the sums, I am guessing Meghan is making $300000AUD at the most. Which given exchange rate is about $150k USD. Is it just me or does that seem.. not much for a reputation defining event? #sussex #ausnews www.herbestlife.org/her-best-lif...

Not knowing what the orange menace will unleash tomorrow, may I bid bon soir to you all, with…

Umm. What continent is shown in this picture? I genuinely can’t tell if it’s Australia or the Americas. #artemis www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Wow. The NPC is woeful. I’m no Albo chest-beater. But the pile in of wince-making questions by Murdoch and LNP press is such a waste of time. It’s just gotcha about Trump after gotcha. Aussie journalism is pretty shit as a mainstream “profession”. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

How much time is on his hands if he can write a book WHILE in office? He’s either ‘Boris Johnson” tokenistic about his all consuming duty or the Dark MAGAs are positioning his theocratic Presidency. In either case, it’s clear the Pope isn’t convinced. #uspol www.theguardian.com/books/2026/a...

If you need a timeline cleanse, read the whole story. I initially thought it was just “dog rescued” but it was so much more. #goodnews www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Young Americans are being harangued by old, rich, unstable white men - who have never served - to sacrifice their life for a war nobody - not even the main aggressor (the USA) wants. There’s going to be real guillotines in the squares at this rate. #uspol www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

Jewish Miriam Margolyes doesn't give two sh*ts about antisemitism accusations, she says it like it is. "It looks like Hitler has won."

And so the fuel sand-bagging begins.. apparently Jetstar can’t fly direct from Brisbane to Sydney today. Weather is just too awful. Surprisingly no QANTAS flights seem to have this issue. Needless to say the early morning departure area was not a happy place. #jetstar #auspol

This is a horrific story.. but I am ashamed to admit what confused me the most… What the heck is cornhole? #usnews www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

So here’s what’s going to happen.. The park is fenced off The grounds are destroyed Soon after we’re informed there is no way the stadiums will be built. Revert back to Gabba. The land is rezoned for maximum development. And grift Brisbane - you’re standing in it. #qldpol

Read this headline. Now read it again. Now read it again. You are not alarmed enough. It is later than you think. 🇺🇸 deadline.com/2026/03/trum...

Endlessly repeatable. An honest assessment of a nasty, dishonest, vainglorious mendacious twerp.
