Predictably, News Corp have ignored teachers’ pleas for them to stop pitting schools against each other by publishing uncontextualised rankings. Since they’ve ignored this, I’m sharing the list of Australia’s most untrusted brands. News Corp number 8 - should be higher! A toxic stain on Australia.

Been a while since I had this much fun in the studio. Apart from during Mystery Hour, of course. Not sure they made this cut but there at least two occasions when I nearly lost it completely.

We are paying Jillian Segal $1,000 a day plus the salaries of her SIX taxpayer funded staffers etc etc etc, all up costing Australians well over $1 million a year ... for this.

This is completely unacceptable on every level, @albomp.bsky.social. Fix this. End this. #auspol

Great work, AFL. You found an act no one in the stadium will know any of his songs, and who is a homophobe right at the moment that is the major issue of the game.

Today Michaelia Cash reckons PM should ‘hang his shed in shame’ yes she meant head, but she’s incapable of enunciating such trivial detail. Remember yonks & yonks ago Abbott said PM Gillard should ‘hang her head in shame’. The famous misogyny speech followed. Is Cash just recycling talking points

I just watched a section of Logies The VOICE won best entertainment program. Ok they then mentioned that’s the 2nd in a row. OK. So we vote twice for the VOICE and then a big fat no to another VOICE. It struck me. PS Jelania Dokic speech …. brilliant

In our Australian Parliament today, the Opposition vacated the house so completely avoid even voting for or against a bill. That’s not going to improve our national productivity one iota. Sad and confounding.

Award for Morrison an insult to the truth
Scott Morrison’s award is not just a political misjudgment – it is an affront to decency.

It’s been a long process, and, after a recount of about 75% of the votes cast, there were only a few votes in it.

Today we did not win. But we are not defeated. Hard things are hard, and a better kind of politics is worth fighting for.
See you in 2028? Maybe!

Senator Bridget Mackenzie, please stop gaslighting in press conferences and interviews by claiming Nationals represent 9 million rural Australians. At current count (excluding combined LNP Queensland) Nationals vote across Australia is 588,755 or 3.80%
