Experts (well, Phil Coorey, among others) said Dutton's campaign focus should be "the cost of living, stupid!"¹. < t.co/jS2VVRQuog > So what does he do? What every twisted bone in his Old School Walloper's² body told him to do ... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ (Let's hope it lands him in political Hell³)

Carney: We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves and above all, we have to take care of each other.

Dutton refusing the traditional pre-election National Press Club address is gutless. Final proof he knows he’ll get many important questions he doesn’t want to answer. Costings, anyone?

The Mariyung Fleet cost $2bn but did not fit through Sydney's tunnels so are currently mothballed at Lithgow. (You can trust me to ferret out a local controversy!)

A Catholic diocese wants to stop New Jersey from trying to empanel a grand jury to investigate allegations of clergy sexual abuse, with arguments before the state’s high court set for Monday.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Ukraine ‘one step away from nuclear meltdown’, warns energy minister "Ukraine has been left “one step away” from catastrophic nuclear meltdowns because of Russian bombardments of its atomic power stations, the nation’s energy minister has warned." No way should we build them in Australia! #auspol

If eating scotch eggs in an Austin Allegro had a face.

Yeah! These children know his “softer side,” all too well.

Everyone’s gonna be wide awake at his funeral. If only because they’ll play Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” at full volume.

Nearly forgot Vikki Campion this week! You're welcome! Her cynical take on "Albo the Catholic" suspending the campaign following Pope Francis' demise: "What would Jesus do?" she asked rhetorically. He wouldn't covet his neighbour's partner (10th Commandment) Vik. Of that we can be sure ... ↘️

He’s so good at this.

Anzac Day March, Currumbin We were so lucky with the weather at Currumbin, storm rolled in just b4 5am & we thought it'd rain during the service but there was a pause from heavy rain at exactly the time of the Dawn Service & March Bucketed down as soon as both finished! 🐝

Superb parrot chick being adorable and green 😭💚🧡💚

Getting sick and tired of populist rhetoric from Greens that Labor and Lib are the same . Amy Warne the Green from Freo is on the bandwagon . Labor women are nothing like Lib women for a start . Think early childhood reforms, DV leave , Bilo family , Medicare, cheaper meds, health and aged care1/2

Climate 200 has sent extra 💰 to "Teal" campaigns from Bunbury to Burpengary over the last few weeks (hello, we're in an election campaign). Yet the LNP's media arm ⬇️ seems extra-obsessed with Melbourne* indys, Zoe Daniel ↙️ and Monique Ryan ↘️. Bring on the harassment, over 'nothingburger' stories:

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American includes a quote from Silent Spring author Rachel Carson six decades ago: (The chemical giants, the usual suspects, defended DDT et al & viciously attacked Carson. She was, of course, proven correct.)

This is a worrying development www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04... It underscores importance of our pre-budget submission calling a national strategy for tackling misinformation and disinformation as a matter of urgency www.croakey.org/wp-content/u...

'Career Politicians' aren't wanted says politician who has been in Parliament since 2010. Agree career politicians should not exist!

Absolutely brilliant #ausvotes2025 MA level coarse language but funny as

Ummm, at the last election the LNP and One Nation did a State wide preference swap in the lower house and the Senate to save Hanson, same this time to save Malcolm Roberts. The contagion spread across Oz this time. At #GroomVotes most ON voters ignored the ticket. amp.abc.net.au/article/1052...
