Indeed. Look, I'm sure @albomp.bsky.social and Minns will ensure all the cops responsible for this outrageous assault are charged.

It's a disturbing uniform, without wanting to state the obvious

Professor Euan Ritchie @euanritchie.bsky.social · 10h

Absolutely!

Social cohesion, Minns and Albanese style. ICE thugs would be proud.

Is it also standard practice to interpret 21 sets of tracks as representing 21 individual animals? Or to advise a government Minister that this is an appropriate way to interpret the data?

Is it normal practice for a government agency scientist, and others, to rebut other scientists’ unpublished work (pre-print) and send it to a government Minister, without telling the original authors and giving them a chance to respond?

Seems mighty uncool to me.

You’ll hear it said that Jon Kudelka was a genuinely wonderful and generous man, this was undeniable, and the interactions I had with him bore that out, he was also a fucking punisher of hypocrites, he adored fighting bad people, and he had picked some quality enemies

😂. The NACC is going SO well, @albomp.bsky.social.

"The body responsible for holding the federal integrity watchdog to account will formally investigate it for agency maladministration and its chief, Paul Brereton, for officer misconduct over his defence ties."

Vale Jon Kudelka; not many better at summing up the issues of the day with great brevity and wit, but also with such vivid, arresting images. A true master of his art.

A big virtual hug for you and all.

Utterly devastating. Jon Kudelka was so good and so compassionate and so funny.

*Nobody* skewered the Albanese government better.

Rest easy, Jon 💔

Interesting to hear Jane Hume complain about the Liberals not having introduced any policies this term.

Is this not the same Jane Hume who told Insiders, as a frontbencher, “we don't have policies, we are in opposition, not in government”?

Here, on the ABC, is an entire article on Victorian bushfires ... with not a single mention of climate change www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Why Victoria is prone to 'some of the scariest fires' in the world

Some of the world's most destructive bushfires take place in the southern state. Its unique mix of fierce winds, high fuel loads and rugged terrain are to blame.

Labor will likely romp the next election in based on current polls, though I guess it depends on inflation, etc. LNP are cooked, it's PHON that is really scary now.
