In 1983, Bob Hawke attempted to move a left-wing party to the right. In 2025, Sussan Ley is attempting to move a right-wing party to the left. Hawke had 3 years of parliamentary experience; Ley has 24 years experience.

I'm skeptical of this revision, quite frankly. I mean, how else do you explain the resemblance?

Just as long as they don't find any aeons-vanished star-headed roughly cylindrical remains...
The fifth and final drilling campaign of the Beyond EPICA – Oldest Ice project has just begun in Antarctica, at the remote field site of Little Dome C, 3,200 metres above sea level.
An international team of 15 will drill the bedrock beneath the Antarctic ice sheet and take duplicate ice samples.

The proposed Environmental Protection Agency is a good idea. It takes away interpretation of environmental laws from the Minister to an independent agency.

If you merged the Glenorchy and Hobart city councils you'd have a council that covered all of Hobart. Apart from Kingston and the whole Eastern Shore, obvs.
Talk of councils merging is a long-running topic in Tasmania — and with Hobart councillors expressing an openness to merging with nearby Glenorchy, the issue is live again.
Council merger floated again, but some wary of 'diabolical' public polling

Discovered I’d let my covid vax schedule slip, but only after someone alerted me to a new exposure at their house after I’d visited.

My pottery is REFINED, thank you very much! Just a few of my (inaudible number) tea bowls are rustic! Rusticity is past of the wabisabi aesthetic!
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
