As it appears enough of the Liberals will sufficiently succumb to madness to endorse him as their next hapless leader, here's a piece I wrote way back in 2021 about the many and varied and still unexplained controversies that have swirled around Angus Taylor.

Angus Taylor a walking Venn Diagram intersection of fossil fuel fervour and cash for the boys.

Suggesting the crisis of confidence in the Liberal Party can be fixed by anointing Angus Taylor as leader is....optimistic.

But I encourage them to give it a go.

After one formal finding of misconduct and this new investigation into potential misconduct, at what point will the Commissioner do the right thing and resign?

This is other truly must-see moment from Colbert's interview with McKellan: when McKellan delivers a 430-year-old theatrical monologue relevant to today's discussions in the United States about immigrants.
At about 22m in, Ian McKellan brings the Colbert studio to a total, rapt standstill with this speech, written by Shakespeare 400 years ago, of Thomas More to Londoners rioting over recent immigrants to remember themselves and welcome others. youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag?...

Will the MSM NOW accept that if they're sticking with the "Climate 200-supported candidates" narrative, they have to acknowledge the "Advance-supported candidates" as well? Of which there are MANY (looking at you, Freedom Boy).

Sheridan Harbridge is a goddess in this fabulous show. The @belvoirst.bsky.social run is completely sold out but I hear whispers of a return season going on sale very soon. When it does I urge Sydneysiders to NOT delay in booking your tickets to see a star play an icon.
