Something I've been banging on about for some time now: Peter Dutton is a multi-millionaire property developer He has been for all of his adult life. That's who he is & how he earns his wealth For a brief interlude in his 20s he was a cop, yet he and our media have defined him by that ever since

Distracted by my dog (begging for a treat!), I played the 2nd square yellow letter again for my 3rd guess. But it worked out alright for a 4-guess win. So, good dog! 🐶 #WQuers #Wordle #Wordle1348 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I asked ASIO about the intentionally divisive stunt pulled by the Daily Telegraph at Cairo Takeaway and other locations. The Director General and I agree that this stunt was worse than stupid and there should be consequences.

Opinion | Worst election ever? Voters will shortly have to pick between a dud PM and a racist culture warrior alternative. @keanebernard.bsky.social asks: how did it get so bad?

For Peter Dutton, the public service is a 'magic pudding' to be cynically raided at election time, rather than an essential support system that millions of Australian veterans, pensioners, families and students rely on every day. #election2025 #auspol

The terrace house door creaks open, and the women sitting in the converted front room glance at the newcomers: another nervous-looking young woman in her late teens or early twenties and an older woman, probably her mother. 🎧 #shortstory #podcast

Jet featured in a post by my local independent MP #AllegraSpender. In the interests of integrity, I can confirm there was no corruption involved ... but a little bribery (treats for a good dog!). 🩵🐶 #auspol #dogs #mydog #mydogposts

I considered using Ivan from Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel for my protagonist, but it's a less common name among Millennials to Generation Alphas. So, I chose Alex as a grateful homage to Solzhenitsyn. 🙏 #books #shortstories #speculativefiction

All former Presidents have a duty to speak-up, or forever hold their peace. If they don't do so now then I don't ever want to see them discuss what's happening now in one of their future books. #uspol #csnpoli #auspol #ukpol

"There was a protest at a gas conference, and the next day, the South Australian Parliament changed the law. The next day they criminalised protest. "If protest was ineffective, why would they do that?" - Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social at our #ClimateIntegrity Summit 2025 #auspol

Today is #LoveYourPetDay. Coincidentally, yesterday, I discovered we've celebrated Jet's birthday on the wrong day for 11 years. The papers he came with said he was born on 1/9/2011. However, when looking for his microchip number, I uncovered conflicting dates! 🤔🐶 #dogs
