My whole life flashed in front of me. Gee it was boring On Woiwurrung land; Essendon FC; Test cricket; Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan and what radiates out from there; History; Movies; Unions; Unapologetic and uncompromising Leftist politics.

Think about the electoral reality of some big issues. Aggressive action on climate change is a median voter position. Adding dental to Medicare, even if it means the PHI market massively changes is a median voter position. Strong environmental protection is a median voter position.

It is “more likely than not” Keith Wolahan will lose his seat, the incumbent Liberal MP for Menzies says, but he is not willing to concede deceit “just yet”. No, go on Keith, I really think you have to concede deceit. Your own

Very brave o the ABC breaking into The James McGrath Show to get some information from Anthony Green just now. Normal transmission will no doubt resume shortly

Saw a superannuation ad during the footy today and can't help thinking this is Elli McLure, who starred in Alvin Purple and The Birds in the Bush on TV, both 1972. Still looks great

It's late 1962 in Ascot Vale and Dad's dragged 3yo me away from playing with my toy cement-mixer on the nature strip outside our place to pose with our new car - a 1948 FX Holden!

Voted at the Maribyrnong pre-poll in Moonee Ponds today. Only 4 candidates on the House of Reps ballot, down from 9 in 2022: Greens, ALP, Libs and PHON, in that order. Keen to put the Libs last but PHON are just so bloody diabolical

I’ll never get over how many in the media seem surprised that a con artist is charming in person. That’s like #1 in the list of grifter qualifications.

Reading this second volume of Sally Young's history of media ownership, power and influence, which covers 1941-1972. Pretty much unputdownable. Prescient highlights? Curtin's 1941 description of the Daily Telegraph as a nitwit newspaper and Keith Murdoch's WTF Melbourne Herald editorials

Because a Nazi booed a Welcome to Country on Anzac Day, Channel 7 decided debating Welcomes to Country was a valid question. Once again the racist Australian media shows where it stands.
