#GregSheridan affirms he is in the UK/EU for now. I commend Mauritshuis Gallery at The Hague -Dutch masters that guided Norma Heyson, also the #SirJohnMonashCentre but a decent article on the UK DPM post would be timely: Whitelaw was the last vital one, Hunt next? The Australian

Delete Norma Insert Nora Heyson who was influenced by the Dutch masters with her superb WW 2 portraits from PNG now on display at the NGV

When Peacock knocked off John Howard in May 1989, the subsequent “Tell All” #FourCorners saw several Libs being indulgent, costing the Coalition the 1990 election. Now another burst of vile indulgence with forensic #DavidSpeers / Sky News, more tonight ! Be wary ! ABC Politics

UK invented rail but the new #Caledonian sleeper train London Scotland has been suspended already after a few weeks of breakdowns, blocked loos, bad braking et al. At least it fits the tunnels unlike NSW new #BlueMountain inter urban trains so both very bad engineering Auspol

Superb gesture by the PM to create a $5m Bob Hawke scholarship under the #Monash Scholarship Foundation today. Auspol

Superb sunny Saturday with BBQ, football and all. Enjoy each and every day #NEVic and #Riverina with rain forecast. Last Saturday #NEVic cracked a sensational two page write up in the UK FT across Europe and USA, a lucky break Auspol bordermail

Last week the #FAO produced white smoke at the other end of Rome near Circus Maximus, electing Dr Qu Dongyu of China over four others as new #DG #FAO. China - now producing drip irrigation rice and much more - deserves this post, equally the #FAO needs a big shake up. ABC Rural

What delicious payback as UK Ambassador #SirKimDarroch within his remit reports on #Trump about 80 years after US Ambassador #JosephKennedy reported Churchill and Britain would last only weeks against Hitler PS Within remit as Ambassador to #HYSE I predicted #PopeBenedict exit

Once again @tonyowright has nailed it, exposing the crazy disposable can refund saga on the NSW Vic border due lack of action by Spring St. Either create a 24 kms zone on Vic side or Premier Dan should appoint deep thinker @JamesMerlinoMP to lead a task force and fix it Auspol

Two other Lunar Landing aspects deserve front page: how Senate President spouse #TomReid led the Honeysuckle ACT team to deliver those first images and how interesting details continue to emerge such as #BuzzAldrin taking communion on the moon

As the #UKTory leadership ballot peaks (160,000 members voting) nigh on 80 years ago an Irish born temporary Australian #BrendanBracken told Churchill to shut up for once and #Chamberlain would have to commend WSC, not the King’s preferred Lord Halifax. He did May 1940 BBC News (UK)

Fun day on the superb heritage train Albury Lockhart Boree Ck today with net proceeds to #AlburyCancerCentre Trust. Full marks to Ross Jackson @LVR #BoreeCkPub and all - country community activity at its best bordermail

So 9pm AEST on Sky UK plus , just under two hours time, #TheresaMay’s last PMQT on the floor of a packed Commons. If it is half as good as #PMCameron’s last PMQT it will be enjoyable and fast moving ! Auspol

So the planned #BorisJohnson UK deficit expansion plus the latest #Trump Congress budget deal with a big #USA deficit blowout makes #Italy almost look respectable and #Australia walking tall but be ready for the next #GFC Sky News Extra

Key Brecon UK by election result about to be announced in 4 minutes in Wales on Sky UK. Essentially Conservative versus Lib Dem.

Mayor or Town Crier stuffed up announcement. Lib Dems declared winner but figures and margin at last showing. 13826 to 12401 . So the Boris majority is now minus one.

#ElPaso gun shootings today is The 249th in the USA 🇺🇸 so far for 2019 -no other country comes anywhere near this. #MarisePayne should raise gun laws direct with #MikePompeo in Sydney today as what’s the use of an Alliance with a nation so dysfunctional on guns ABC News Sky News

You were right in 2012 and now on guns. We discussed the successful Australian approach and whilst not perfect, it is holding up. Now while the NRA is split and fighting at the top is the time to move - quickly

Switch to the peaceful beautiful Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan with near daily flights from Bgk and SGP

#BoreeCkPublicSchool today was in great form: good staff and 31 impressive students as Wes Fang MLC / NSW State Nats MP presented a cheque to fix a problem and I gave a book. Lunch at the pub with Kay Hull Ex MP, Jim Toole, hosts Phil and Jenny was a bonus
