I understand that Josh Frydenberg feels extremely distressed and frustrated - who wouldn't in his shoes? However, channelling those emotions into wild accusations and actions that would do more harm than good only serves to make the task ahead of us - all of us - tougher and riskier

Howard did more damage to our nation than all other PMs combined. And now he has the effrontery to lecture the government on what it should be doing. An out and out warmonger and fibber

He has called for the PM to ban the pro-Palestine protests,
for more education and “a much more effective and rigorous and strong immigration system.”

He also accused the government of ignoring special envoy Jillian Segal’s recommendations [which are opposed by a great many Australian Jews]

It's an excellent essay and sates my palate for food knowledge

Btw: The recipe book that my wife and I have turned to more than any other is 'My Umbrian kitchen' by Patrizia Simone, who married the rustic habits of NE Victorian Italians with the knowledge she had acquired from her Umbrian childhood

I've chosen to wait and see more evidence on this

Okay. Then I blame Mossad

As I well remember. My second occasion of voting at a Federal election didn't turn out so well

I hear there's a nation in need of an experienced handyman to take on a substantial repair and renovation project. Would effortlessly match your timetable. As for "interesting", well, I think the project has that covered, in an old Chinese kind of way

I'm an ALP loyalist, but not slavishly. I have begun to wonder if we wouldn't be better served if Labor lost enough seats, federally, to progressive independents and, dog help us, the Greens, that it had to form a blended majority. A bit like a War Cabinet, with room for an Andrew Bragg-type as well

I'll drink to that!

If the government implemented all of Jillian Segal's recommendations, as proposed by Ley, it would cause more division than we have already, which is one reason why those recommendations are opposed by the enlightened Jewish Council of Australia

Great news Chris. Well done!

I support the tweaking of the scheme to offer a sliding scale of support. As you say, battery prices are very likely to continue falling. So, the revised scheme should benefit a higher %age of homeowners with modest needs & incomes without discouraging ambitious owners

Do you have a CMT number plate on your car boy?

Could use some to feature in a chicken-based paella

Well said mate!

Thanks Adam. I've read it. It's both informative and thought-provoking

And don't expect any Christmas present better than a pair of mismatched socks from teenage grandchildren
