Me in the pub when this is all over -

They plan to switch on the pokies in NSW next week. Lobby cry is "community service". Here is the proof govt gets 25% of pokies billions, community donations are a miserable 3% #auspol michaelwest.com.au/pokie-profits-…

That the government issued nearly 500,000 incorrect debts to Australians and ended up being forced to refund more than $700M and no one has lost their job or even apologised is an absolute scandal. Just unbelievable.

When I charged an officer with assaulting a 16yo indigenous boy after arrest, I was disciplined, warned & transferred. Two female officers who gave evidence were ostracised, forcing one from the job. That's how internal NSW investigations work. If untrue NSW Police Force can sue me.

The majority (69%) of the Morrison Ministry has a degree from the humanities, social sciences, law, and/or business. That is 16 out of 23 Ministry members. If they want to call themselves 'irrelevant' and 'not ready for their jobs' I won't argue #auspol

Mná na hÉireann by Seán Ó Riada. On August 1st 1931 this great Irish composer was born. His work changed Irish music forever, lifting it to new heights. Eternally in his debt

Context: The water deal was untendered. Colliers, who did the val, was a new valuer used by Barnaby's dept. They were only used 1 other time before and after EAA. The Dept still paid double the Colliers val. Many say the overflow water was worth nothing

Friendly reminder that the government gave News Corp $345,000 this year for a Spelling Bee website that ran on Wordpress.com, which is now a single image and text html page: spelling-bee.com.au

How is Villeneuve gonna finish DUNE now that Baron Harkonnen's been arrested!?!?

“I assure you officer, I’ve only broken international law in a very specific and limited way"

One of these is from the Death of Stalin.

Welcome to the free market, Senator.

They sure are desperate to deny reality that renewables are the cheapest, best option. Brian Toohey on why coal to hydrogen is another clean coal #CCS - it's prohibitively expensive #auspol michaelwest.com.au/hydrogen-hype-…

In overturning Terra Nullius, the Mabo Decision gave Australia a foundational truth, that First Nations peoples remain the traditional owners of this continent’s lands and waters.

I absolutely do not have time to make this point properly but here's a reminder: eliminating emissions nearly (95-100%) to zero, urgently, is a matter of physical, real, immediate danger. Treating it as anything less is denialism.
