Keen knitter, beginner weaver. Watching politics with saucer eyes. I Like reading & quiet things, as I might be experiencing overwhelm. Still love music though. Pleased to meet you!

Watching from overseas, all this late, reactive panic over Biden makes the Democratic Party look like a very flat-footed organisation. This could have been avoided, surely. Where was the succession planning??

One overlooked issue with all these Tory losses is that the Daily Telegraph is going to end up being thicker than a phone book with so many new columnists

As an aside, it's "The jig is up", not "the gig is up". For such an old guy, such a "smart" guy, the amount of stuff he doesn't know is remarkable.

Well, the day has arrived, Australian taxpayers.
(Puts on his best Oprah voice)...
"You get a tax cut, and you get a tax cut, and you, and you and you!!"
So here's a recap from a piece I wrote in January.

"or, good god, Australia". As an Australian, that made me chuckle in a nasal, Aussie kind of way 😄

No worries Robyn, you were totally clear 👍 I hope your test is as early as possible so you can get your medication (and coffee, if applicable 😊)

Sorry to hear that. I feel hard done by going without coffee for a blood test, let alone what you're facing! I hope it all goes ok, without too much pain.

I tore it up, but if I remember correctly, the flyer didn't even admit that Birmingham is a Liberal, but just said his name.

I understand. There was a gun and drugs found on the grounds of my kids' school and my real shock was how it seemed to be taken in stride by the school community, I felt highly out of place and I couldn't relax. But in other ways, the school was really good too. It was confusing.

The Facebook page of Malcolm Turnbull, Australian Prime Minister (at the time) deleted & blocked me for pointing that nonsense out when he was peddling it. They all think we're completely clueless & should remain so.

He just couldn't care less. He probably didn't even think about it. The cost of living crisis exists for him only as a political tool. He's a political tool too 😒

I have noticed that the ANZ is a reliable early bird when it comes to squeezing their mortgage holders. Always among the first to capitalise on events. They love money a lot.

I'm not from America, so had to look up the House Judiciary committee GOP. That language about hotels being "overrun by illegal aliens" is extreme and highly aggressive. To me, as an outsider, it is beneath their standing as government representatives and they should be highly censured. Shocking.

Why does capitalism require growth at all times and at all costs? Surely there is a better way. If we must have capitalism, why can't it be better than this?

"..in her introduction to the report, Boyd describes the big four's "insidious and creeping expansion" into the public service had not only drained it of agency motivation and experience but it had threatened the integrity of government decision-making."

Has anybody else been watching the French Open tennis coverage on Channel 9 (Australia)? It's so bad, so minimal and stingy, I've given up on it. I guess they think giving us this appalling coverage will convince us to get Stan..?

I have a suspicion that I overcare to avoid some nebulous "punishment". I avoid displeasing people, rather than pour love into them, if that makes sense. I don't feel great about it, that my caring is more self-preservation than an expression of love turned outward...

When he recently said "Give us the Zelensky file", I thought his words sounded lifted straight from a much earlier era, and it was all a bit pathetic and past its use by date.

I'm wondering what the government ever got out of wrecking the public service. Is the "jobs for mates and donors" aspect of privatising our public service worth the fallout. I don't know what so many of our politicians think they're even doing. They mystify me. Your work is appreciated and wanted👍
