Me too. Beats political polemic.

Uh oh.

"Oh bollocks!"

Nothing has changed.

His message was spot on. The more I see of him, the more I'm impressed. He's so good that it's no wonder the Narcissist-in-Chief refused to call him his successor - he's upstaging his boss in terms of intellect. youtube.com/live/pCOsgfINd… via YouTube

Is four years in a role doing the same thing too long, however much one is good at it or (mostly) enjoys it?

This whine reminds me of the rugby rule of possession - use it or lose it. If Labor hasn't used its opportunity to better the lives of all Australians since May 2022, its supporters shouldn't whinge if voters turn on it.

Why did the Coalition matched Labor’s free GP pledge?It's bad policy, lazy policy, and now bipartisan policy, while fixing the real problems in the healthcare system is ignored. The Coalition should have shown spine, and Labor has proved yet again how obsessed it is with what's

Young Australians are subjected to the ‘black armband’ school of history. ✍️ Terry Barnes buff.ly/KT6uuWl

There's something in what James Campbell says re expanding the size of H o R to improve representation and governance. Problem is, while the 2:1 nexus with the Senate's constitutionally entrenched, there'd be an even worse and bigger circus of crossbench clowns and bozos making

The president of the College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists should concern herself with the fee-gouging practices of many of her members, not this woke nonsense.

I'm over Pesutto-Deeming and the Vic Libs' permanent opposition circus. I've written this #springst Time for the Victorian Liberal clown show to get serious afr.com/politics/time-…
