Very sorry to read this #auspol

WE'VE SEEN THE WORST of Victorian media this week — relentlessly bullying the Premier's family for political ends, and embracing conspiracy theories, which emboldens and fuels the violent far-right. Australia must launch a media inquiry to avoid the same fate as the US. #auspol

If everything here goes pear-shaped, I’ve followed Mueller, She Wrote and set up a profile on countersocial.

All I want is all the functionality of Twitter without some Saudi-compromised billionaire douchelord attached to it.

The rainbow lorikeets were having a great time in this tree. No idea what it is (some sort of pine?) but they were chewing on the buds/nuts/whatever. (It's clear that I lack botanical skills!)

South Australia has 3,797 cases (up 947) with the Reff up from 1.06 to 1.18 - a 2 week doubling time. There are 53 people in hospital (up 9) and 6 in ICU (up 1). There are 32 deaths (up 27).

DANANON: Victoria's troubled media have been likened to the Qanon cult following fervent and hysterical attempts to stoke conspiracy theories — fuelling the violent far-right movement and putting Australia's sacred democratic institutions at risk. #auspol themonthly.com.au/the-politics/r…

Now there’s a few jobs going for our top anti-corruption sleuths. Mission impossible? Trying to restore honour and trust in the Commonwealth government. Work begins as soon as ⁦Mark Dreyfus⁩ ⁦Anthony Albanese⁩ National Anti Corruption Commission Bill passes both houses.

It’s quite astonishing that the entire mainstream media eco-system (ABC, Nine Media, News Corp, Seven, 10) is using the same talking points – and promoting each other – against Daniel Andrews. Once again, it’s proves where they sit politically. #vicpol #auspol

I do love Bradley Whitford and this comprehensive demolition of that inflated poseur Piers Morgan.

I’m supposed to be on the train to Parramatta to celebrate @KassabYumna beautiful hard cover new novel but doggo is really crook so instead I am on the couch diving in. #RagingFridayNight

'The Murdoch media’s re-upping of the 2013 story is no accident. It’s part of a deliberate attack on the Victorian premier, designed to lend credence to the irrational hate many feel towards the Labor leader.'

'[Nomi Kaltmann] accused 'Christian Mormons and Pentecostals' of bringing a 'very scary fringe right position' to the Liberal Party ... '

'Aged care workers will get a 15% pay rise after a Fair Work Commission decision accepted the arguments the sector’s workers were underpaid.'

ONE piece of good news in this Hell Week.

Awesome to have a coffee and a chat this morning with some wonderful volunteers. Big conversation about respect and inclusion in all its forms.

That’s our Hawthorn community for you😊
