Recently finished watching Matlock. I can't recall another series that started out like a formulaic shallow whodunit and morphed into great viewing. Kathy Bates' switching between personas is a delight, while displaying an unaltered elderly woman's face & neck - & she's beautiful! (1/2)

When they tell you that Covid is all in your head tell them about the study which recently found “that even mild COVID-19 can result in persistent neurocognitive deficits,” and explain to them that while Covid isn’t only in the head it is certainly there as well.

Labor has more in the war chest to go hard at Angus Taylor than it does with Sussssan Ley. Regardless of who becomes leader, they'll be torn to shreds by the Labor front bench. Labor should go easy on them so they are leading the Libs at the next election. Do them slowly. #Auspol

The new Pope maybe American but has spent many years working with the Peruvian poor, seems pretty decent but needs to upgrade his attitude to homosexuality and several other pressing issues - that said the right in America think he’s a woke communist - works for me :)

Fun fact. You can't win an Australian federal election when you only have four women MPs. The current projection is that women will win at least 63 of the 150 federal seats, 46 Labor, 4 Liberals, 3 Nationals and 7 independents.

Cautionary words for the ALP government. Maybe they could try some courageous legislation that actually achieves 'no-one left behind'.

#no-oneleftbehind So, a strengthened Labor Government and no more Dutton - a good day. But it was nauseating to hear Albo brazenly spout the same lie last night as last election - no-one left behind. 1/3
