Never liked it. It's just an awful day for many reasons. The abuse of animals, the domestic violence, the fleecing of people. It'd be good to see this kind of crap ended for good, but that's a long way off. Until then, you won't catch me near it.

Why is this happening? Because the Liberal Party is out of touch with the youth of the country. That's not just here in South Australia, but country wide. The traditional Liberal voting base is dying off and they're not picking enough new ones up. They're not relevant.

Tim Wilson might be suffering from premature celebration. His lead is narrowing by the day, and there's more than enough votes left for Zoe to win.

I’ll be speaking about my Louise Lovely book with Jo Laverty this Friday at 4pm (Adelaide time) on ABC Radio. It’s a national broadcast, so everyone will get it, no matter where you are. Tune in and hear me rave about this amazing woman and why you need to know her life.

Donald Dutton backflips on WFH. Or does he? I'm sure this policy isn't off the table, after all Donald Dutton is the one who's got a real problem with telling the truth.
You cannot trust this Temu Trump. He will lie, just like his predecessors, to get into power.

Niki Savva nails Donald Dutton perfectly. This is how he operates. He slags everyone off, insults and resorts to personal attacks, but the minute anyone responds, he starts crying foul.
He's as weak as old piss. More spine in a Jellyfish. Would that the rest of the media were this honest.

Liz Dealey has left us. Liz was an incredible musician and a wonderful person. She was a pioneering woman in an often toxic male dominated rock field, giving us some incredible songs and being totally committed to animal rights, especially chickens.
Vale Liz. You will be missed.

Mine has books and a lamp on it. At night it has my phone, Kindle and iPad. But then I'm not a paranoid fucking lunatic.
Occasionally it has a cat sleeping on it. My cat likes me. I doubt Elon has a cat. You know who else had a gun nearby in the bedroom? Oscar Pistorius. That ended well, didn't it?

Louise Lovely would have been right in there celebrating. And rightly so. Louise was a pioneer filmmaker, an actor of both stage and screen, and packed more into her first 40 years than most people would even think of doing in three lifetimes.
