With all the #auspol shenanigans I was looking back through old PMs and I had a few thoughts:

1. We haven’t had a PM with facial hair since Billy Hughes.

2. Deakin wins most glorious beard easily.

3. I’d like to nominate Fisher as our best looking PM.

4. Rodger Corser should have played Fisher.

Every time someone writes a headline like this, my faith in Australian journalism dies just a little bit more.

Such cutting wit from The Australian. Such up-to-the-minute satire.

Was hoping my band’s new song (still very much a demo) wouldn’t be so relevant.

Just saw a guy on Tik Tok explain that pasteurised milk is bad but raw milk is fine if you boil it first.

Reminded of an old chaser segment:

Good morning from Keating, my parents’ chocolate lab who is having an exhausting day.

Doubt this comes as a shock to anyone. But looks like the Murdoch Press is running a concerted campaign against Kevin Rudd as US ambassador.
