Throwback photo, 40 years ago, 1985, when I co-managed a trashy gay bar on Oxford Street, Sydney. Exchange Hotel (now closed) , a beardless Brash with the beautiful Ginger Benson, barmaid to the Stars, enjoying a couple of late night staffies. We might have been trashy but we also had style!

Grey-headed fruit bat (flying fox) heading out on a feeding run at the golden hour, early evening with a red sunset, Surry Hills, Sydney. Looks surreal in this light. #NaturePhotography

In a surprise move, Guide Dogs Victoria has not endorsed a candidate in tomorrow’s election. #AusPol2025

“This here’s the wattle, the emblem of our land, you can stick it in a bottle, or you can hold it in your hand” Wattle ‘puffs’ at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens. #NaturePhotography

The last time I was in the emergency room at my local hospital, they told me I had acute angina … “well thanks for the compliment but I haven’t transitioned yet, I still have my penis!”

With all this talk of Dutton preferring Kirribilli over Canberra, I think Melbournites may feel they’re missing out. I think the prime minister should also have a Melbourne residence at their disposal - a modest two bedder in Moonee Ponds perhaps? #KirribilliPete #Auspol2025

I have to agree with Trump on the Heard Island tariffs, penguins can be such bastards. Tax the fuck out of them.

We lost our darling BabyCat last night. She was sick for a couple of days but I didn’t realise how sick she was. Found her this morning & had a cry. Maude seemed unperturbed that her nemesis wasn’t moving. Such is life (& death). Having a wake tonight. Rest my little tigress.

Thinking of starting a gay Laura Tingle fan club called “the Fruit Tingles” #abc730

Dutton has given a commitment that should he win the election he would dump his electorate of Dickson and move to the Sydney Harbour mansion to be closer to his mate, Justin Hemmes.

Babycat being photogenic. My little gray tigress #Caturday

‪I think Senator Hume should stick to podcasting about how to make a gin & tonic, one of hospitality’s more difficult cocktails. ‬That’s her skill level.

A lot of people think the invention of the wheel was a milestone in the history of early civilisations but the real game changer was actually the invention of the axle. With axles came carts & other transport vehicles, the wheel was pretty useless without the axle.

John Howard was wheeled out the other day for a comment on the upcoming election and he had a bruise on his face. There was speculation he had a fall or Jeanette had a pop at him but I think it was freezer burn when he was defrosted.

Remember when the Liberals’ idea of freedom of religion was snorting crystal meth off a rent boy’s buttocks in the parliamentary prayer room? Allegedly!

Throwback to when I ran trashy gay bars. Brash is the bloke on the right in glasses sans moustache. Guy on the left, was Chris Liston, my partner in crime, lover and co manager. We were a formidable hospitality team.
