And who on earth, do you suggest replacing him with?? Seriously!! You think think the Coalition is a viable option? The (criminally compromised) Teals??

It would be enormously satisfying to see this couple torn a new one in court.

Greyhound Racing #SouthAustralia should be stripped of its ability to operate. This is heinous.

Exactly.

Because, the fact is, Trump is a bad faith interlocutor who cares only about himself and what is good *for him*. That Prime Minister Albanese managed to walk the tightrope and, from a performance level, not get shat on is the best we could have hoped for.

...which went nowhere. Heck, even Murdoch saw it was a useless bone to chew.

It's interesting to me how so many word counts are being devoted to an analysis of the Coalition's position on net zero when it is clear the Coalition are heading towards utter extinction.

Sussan Ley’s potential net zero compromise risks tearing the Coalition apart and alienating voters on all sides

The Liberal leader is trying to land a position that pleases everyone – but in doing so may end up with policy that is neither credible nor popular

Which music biopic has done well though? I mean, Rocketman was meh, Bohemian Rhapsody was meh (& Iove Freddie), I'm Not There was painful. Better Man was probably the most engaging biopic I've seen in a minute yet that was more whimsical than a straight bio.

Given that the PM was dealing with a demonstrated psychopath, the White House visit and the result was the best Australia could have hoped for.

Music biopics seem to me to be the worst genre of film to produce. These people just aren't that interesting.

No, it is not.

@walsh.bsky.social Oh man! I so felt your pain during that recollection re: the dogs. I felt like we share similar anxieties and a dislike of confrontation & my empathy bone was aching hard for you! I hope the situation works out for you.

I would regard being told by #Trump, "I don't like you," as a badge of honour.

Rudd is 10 times the man Trump will ever be...and 100 times the intellect.

Were it not for Alistair's diary, I wouldn't have known about Julian Leeser and Josh Burns working together down here in Australia. It's an encouraging sign that there are decent people on both sides of the aisle dedicated to a cause.
