The Trump-Albanese non-meeting is a classic case of media demanding it happen purely because the media think it matters.
Not one journo covering the US visit could explain what good they would expect to come of the meeting.
But they just assume it must be done.

When are our media & arts institutions going to grow a back bone and not be spooked by lobbyist letters making vexatious and defamatory claims. Have we learned nothing ? Are these institutions more concerned about cranky letter writers than war crimes they seek to distract from?

Brian Wilson influenced most serious songwriters of the 20th century. Paul McCartney often said ‘God Only Knows’ was the greatest song ever written.
He achieved this while battling Schizoaffective Disorder. Vale: - a genuine, troubled genius. 😞

For the better part of six months, Edinburgh resident Elaine Dick has been confronted with a 212-metre-long red-and-white Tasmanian ferry every time she looks out her living room window.
The Spirit of Tasmania IV has been docked at the nearby port of Leith since December – initially costing taxpayers around $47,000 a week – because the Tasmanian government did not build a dock big enough to support it.

Wrote about this being a strong possibility and yup - the Nationals have had a massive dummy spit and broken up the Coalition. Marching both parties even closer to obscurity. Absolutely amazing.

If the Nats leave the coalition, and the LNP of Qld join with them that makes 25 seats & the Libs with 18. Does that mean that the Nats & LNPQ become the opposition & Littleproud the Opposition leader??? Are the Nats bailing out because there is a female leader? Interesting!!!!! #auspol #Auspol

We appear to have lost our federal Coalition for the first time since 1987. Remains to be seen if this is temporary or will continue to the next election, implications for how LNP runs in Qld and for polling.

Peter Dutton “I’m very happy for the election to be a referendum on energy, on Nuclear”
They didn’t just lose, they got smashed.
To not have immediately dropped Nuclear after the election shows how out of touch LNP are & how desperate they are to oppose what Australians voted for.

Australia is set to be a renewables nation. After Labor’s win, there’s no turning back
Under a Labor government, coal and gas have a fast-declining role to play in Australia’s energy mix – and nuclear has none at all.
