If anyone wondered why Australia doesn’t have shutdowns, it is because we have a parliamentary system and not a Presidential system. Sorry America, your democracy objectively sucks.

14 years after I penned this teenaged love letter to #pinkfloyd singer Rachel Fury, her mystique & the awareness of my ode to her has only grown. I've recently updated it with some fascinating new information.

I will be dead before the LNP occupy the government benches again (& I'm on the wrong side of 50).

We've been getting this little visitor into our back garden over the past month. My daughter bought a box of native bird seed from the grocer and now he's coming in for an evening feed. I could think of worse things to be popping in...

Nirvana represented that hinge point for all of us who didn't buy into the late stage hair metal phenomenon. When Nirvana dropped, all of us who felt marginalised by the *Appetite* period, suddenly had our home turf. Then Jeremy hit & we knew it was our moment.

This! So much This!

The Democrats need to excise their tumour.
7. When a ruling faction looks dead, is cold to the touch, is shut down and disconnected from the world in which living people exist, that probably means it is dead. Schumer, Jeffries and the whole zombie Democrat establishment need to stop haunting the living beings who want to take their place.

The political consensus may be gone, but in the real world, citizens, society & corporates have - in the main - moved on & are working to tackle climate change.

The cancer of denialism & wrecking is a fringe view confined to old, selfish crones.

If Pauline Hanson is so enamoured by jetting off to junkets at Mar-a-Lago, perhaps she can f*ck off there permanently.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I was never a fan of Cheney. I believe he led the world into a patenly unnecessary war in the Middle East - the effects of which are still being felt today.

To see the glee with which people here are celebrating his death is fucking unconscionable.

David Littleproud, Matt Canavan & Barnaby Joyce are wholly owned cucks of Gina Rinehart. They do not even pretend to represent their own constituencies. They don't care for the generations to come. They care only about themselves & what they can extract from the people.

Damn them.

The amount of gambling ads on #SBSOnDemand is actually offensive for a tax payer funded broadcaster. This needs to be shut down.

The stink of corruption in NSW can be picked up all around the country and indeed, all over the world. That a journalist is in fear for his life for daring to report on the truth is unacceptable.
