#ABC 7.30 overhyped report on the mushroom trial. The job of the jury is NOT to “separate fact from fiction”

O”Brien - a worthy successor to “Well done Angus”. LNP won’t be in office to be able to index the $3m before it bites today’s kids but scares those kids away from investing their <$3m super today in growth assets for fear of CGT in the distant future afr.com/politics/feder…

She really should not have assaulted a police officer with her eye… abc.net.au/news/2025-06-2…

When you lie so far to the right, everything in the centre looks “left leaning”. “It is true that the ABC, certainly over my professional life-time, has been left-leaning.” afr.com/companies/medi…

Is Albo delaying his Trump meeting while US builds up its head of steam against PBS, so that when Albo firmly rejects Trump on it, Trump will cancel AUKUS in a fit of pique? Win win.

What is GHF? Gaza Holocaust Facilitation?

Who will have the most egg on their face when it is proved that the blistered paint on the synagogue door was never an attempt to “burn down the building” and was actually a false flag operation solicited by rogue(?) zionists?

Just heard SBS News refer to “a plan to deal with anti semitism supported by the Opposition…”. Either the Opposition has shifted ground markedly, or the SBS News subeditor requires remedial training.

Was there some sort of football game last night (Wednesday) that was won by a team called “morons”.

Marles seems to be ready to use the well known corrective sequence for weak amateur leaders under stress: “ Fire, Aim, Ready”

Encore. NSW police shoot and kill a violent man. Senior cops praise officers. Subsequently “Independent” investigation (by police) announced. No risk of any finding that containment, de-escalation, or alternative force will be found to have been better than lethal force.

#ABC platforming Barnaby Joyce’s blustering incoherence yet again on Afternoon Briefing. How much anti LNP bias will ABC be allowed to demonstrate in this way?

Am I missing something? If Israel thinks that Syria’s stability needs intervention to protect (some of ?) its people following the fall of Assad, should it not seek UN authorised intervention rather than blundering in unilaterally?

Has the AFL yet been sworn in as the next government of Tasmania?

Those who think about US limits and demands on our control of the use of any future AUKUS submarines might reflect on the 9 month delay in our getting surplus Abraham’s tanks to Ukraine due to residual US controls over our disposal of them.

It is a pity that you swore featly to the UK king rather than to Australia & its citizens…

Has the (always pretentious) term “dignitary” now been so debased? “The former Coalition …[gave]… rare congressional testimony from a foreign dignitary…” afr.com/world/north-am…

Adding the estimates for pro-Palestine protests in Sydney & Melbourne I suspect they approach, or even exceed, the estimated Jewish population of Australia. Just observing.

Memo to NSW police. It was always likely (for years) that a major protest march would seek to use the bridge as a platform. Prudence demanded that you have a plan on the shelf to deal with this rather than pretending that you have to make it up ab initio at short notice…

Will Israel grant Red Cross access to all those Palestinians it has detained without charge or trial during (and before) this conflict? Amid outcry over videos of emaciated Israeli hostages, Netanyahu asks Red Cross for help sbs.com.au/news/article/a…
