From The Office to degenerating into the nasty, punchdown, scoffing, comedically clueless, transphobic patron saint of wankers you are today. James Acaster called you out for the worse than worthless "edgelord" that you are. But you're too remote, too doubledown, too stupid to take that on board.

Oh dear. Poor Murray. Struggling to find a path for his EPBC reforms to pass both houses before his own imposed time limit. Oh the sweet irony of his predecessor having it stitched up in her last few weeks as Minister. I hope Tanya is enjoying the show.

Or just equally ill-judged and repugnant decisions.
So a retired Australian politician shaking the hand of China's president is dancing with the devil, but a sitting Australian politician shaking the hand of a US president (a convicted felon, rapist, fomenter of armed insurrection, avowed friend of dictators) is honouring our great ally?

Interesting question then for Creative Australia at the next Estimates hearing.
Via @timcoronel.bsky.social, this story has been updated: “The publication recently secured a $100,000 grant from Creative Australia to fund its next two years of operation,” the MEAA media director said."
So not rolling in it for sure...but still lots of explaining to do from UniMelb!

Tony Bourke has refused visas for bat researchers. Yes bat - not fat, or mat, or splat. Bat. Those tiny little flying mammals. WTF is not wrong with this government? What did some idiot put up to the MO in a brief claiming the terrors posed by bat researchers?
In future, when I hear @albomp.bsky.social or anyone else from @australianlabor.bsky.social say the words "social cohesion," I'm going to hear the words "white supremacy."
