Hello, I’ve wandered back here after months away. I found engagement very hard to find.

Sending good wishes - however empty and tokenistic that sounds - to parents everywhere, who tonight are holding their kids tight, whispering words of reassurance
and trying not to succumb to desperation and fear.

Peter Dutton, I have no difficulty being a proud Australian. I love this place and its people.

This latest display of outrageous cynicism merely reminds us how foolish we are to have any faith or respect for the 21st century oligarchs.
