The Dismissal: Norman Gunston’s moment, while a boy got high on a king
November 11, 1975, wasn’t merely high political drama. Tony Wright remembers the surreal performative nature of the day he witnessed from the parliamentary lawn.

TIL that all modern bath taps in Australia are fitted with flow limiters that are designed to slow down the flow of water through them. I totally get this for showers, conserve water etc. But for RUNNING A BATH it is COMPLETELY MAD.

Optimus robots will just kinda follow criminals around and make sure they don't commit crimes again, so we can eliminate prisons.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

If you want to keep running a Victoria-bashing narrative about a 'crime crisis', it's important to omit inconvenient context. For example, that in the last year ten times as many people left NSW despite the mysterious absence of a 'crime crisis'.

Adam Ant is 71 today. Hard to emphasise how seismic this was in playgrounds across the country in 1980. For a period he was as big as any act has been. Was he the perfect pop star? I think so. It couldn't last but if you were there you'll never forget it.
