And yet tyrants seem strangely relaxed about Ralph, the Rambo senator.

Hi Rachel. In one decade, the previous federal government spent $10 billion on the ‘big four’ accounting firms. A well-resourced public service pays for itself and has only one downside; - cheap shots from people like you.

Is this the year the Coalition reinvents itself as the centre-right party of free enterprise? Or will they continue being racist, science denying, culture warriors punching down and fear mongering over Aboriginals, LGBT people, Centrelink recipients and asylum seekers?

David Warner’s cheating shamed Australian cricket. Then he insulted our intelligence by hiring a PR firm, staging a self-obsessed presser, and hiding behind scripted weasel words. I’m sorry he lost his hat, but the world has bigger problems just now.

A touching message of unity from the political grubs who punch down on workers, Centrelink recipients, refugees, LGBT communities, First Nation peoples…

As Dan Andrews ascends back to the planet Krypton, Sky News says he's too snobby to fly economy.

2023 was the hottest year on record and there’s a new COVID wave. Cookers are doubly wound up.

I feel as if I'm supposed to care more about fireworks, yacht races, Boxing Day sales, Sydney Fish Markets and Hot Cross buns. I can’t tell if I’m un-Australian or just a Grinch.

Vale Tom Wilkinson. Everyone loved ‘The Full Monty’. But my favourite was ‘Denial’ where he played the barrister who brought down the holocaust denier David Irving. Brilliant.

My solar panels paid for themselves in about 3.5 years. It helps being home to use appliances during the day. What's been your experience?

On the day before the 2019 federal election, the Morrison government gave $15 million to one of its largest donors – the retail giant Wesfarmers, which had recently announced a half-yearly profit of $4.5 billion.

Your reminder: The coalition wants to build nuclear reactors but refuses to say where.

Penny Wong rocks. It gladdens my cynical heart that our most trusted politician is not white, male or straight. As a bonus, Peter Dutton is most distrusted.

Peter Dutton is on Ita’s network wishing everyone a safe holiday period, because that’s the kind of guy he is.

At 1pm today, more than 80% of South Australia's electricity requirement was being provided by rooftop solar.

That's quite remarkable.

Dear media. For many people, yacht races are dull and inconsequential, just like Peter Dutton. Please stop the incessant platforming.

The closest thing we will see to an apology for the Coalition's decade of denial and inaction on climate change.

This can be a tricky time of the year.

Ignore the MSM headlines. The latest Newspoll had Labor ahead, with Albanese 11 points ahead of Dutton as ‘better’ PM.
