The Ig Nobel Prize is a satire award for science.

Perhaps Trump could get an Ig Noble Peace Prize for promoting hate and racism? He'll think it’s real and it might shut him up a while.

The separation/family violence scene in The Godfather 2 is hard to watch because Diane Keaton and Al Pacino were so brilliant and ultimately convincing. 😔

In 1940, as fascism took hold, Winston Churchill famously described the world sinking into a new and sinister dark age. But I always think Churchill stayed focussed on the long game and remained optimistic at heart. That’s exactly how I feel about the U.S. now. No fascist state ever lasted.

Peter Dutton tried to fix his ‘woman problem’ by always appearing alongside female colleagues.

After Andrew Hastie knifes Sussan Ley he’ll need to be flanked the entire Country Women's Association.

Andrew Hastie will challenge Sussan Ley and play the ‘race card’ next election. He thinks he can copy Trump better than Peter Dutton copied Trump.

Migration to Australia is restricted to skilled, family, humanitarian, defence and student visas. An increase in one category is typically balanced with a decrease in another as needed.

The terms ‘unplanned’ or ‘uncontrolled’ migration is dishonest, racist dog whistling from the right.
