I think this is a pretty good government. This is also a fair and thoughtful critique: www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...
Even Albanese’s friends are impatient with his lack of ambition
It will aggravate the prime minister, but this critique is coming from five angles this week.

Lovely stuff on LXXII Golf (!) from @eamonlynch.bsky.social as ever.
What has been achieved through all these years of rancour, other than a bunch of people (including a couple of my University of St Andrews alumni peers) getting very rich on Saudi money?
Sigh.

This is the funniest shit ever. It's named LIV because that's the Roman numeral for 54. What a disaster. I'm so glad the Saudis lit billions of dollars on fire to create a golf league absolutely no one watches or cares about.
