Hypocrisy Blitzkrieg: Anika Wells' expenses meltdown opens can of worms - Michael West
The media pile-on over Anika Wells's excessive expenses has again underlined mass media and political hypocrisy.

MY LATEST. Anika Wells’ expenses meltdown opens a "can of worms".
Among the contents of that "can": none other than former "government efficiency" spokesperson Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

Can't help noticing Matt Golding's latest cartoon (below) was published on The Age's letters page, but not in its Sydney Morning Herald counterpart.
Given the latter's 'coverage' (for want of a better word) of #bondibeach, I'm not surprised.

Left: Ella with Ray-Ban-wearing, too-cool-for-school 'pooch', no doubt thinking "I hate being a prop on dad's social media!"
Right: charges into Port Phillip Bay, says to self "it's a bit deep out here" and promptly applies the brakes.

Vikki Campion finally gets to weigh in on #bondibeach with a screed on, yep, gun laws.
"A (white man) I know had to store his guns at a gun shop" because of a social media post by his adult, live-in son years earlier.
Good. Can we take them off alcoholic husbands while we're at it?

A "fearless examination" of #bondibeach from some hack living 17,000 km away. Must-see TV. 🙄

Pink Lake, Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.
Note, this is due to the pinkish hue of the salt on that lake (eat your heart out, Utah) not some sort of pollution.
Is it self-indulgent of me to share happy snaps from #XmasRoadTrip2025? Does anyone give a toss? Wrong answers only:

Fun Fact: most Australians don't feel the need to own guns so they can get their rocks off killing fauna, or "defend against tyranny", or (in extreme cases) commit mass murder.
