She is lying at the end of my bed now. I can see her cat ears in silhouette.

Drafted the text for the website "Dignity, Not Dependency; End the Partner Income Test". I laid out the argument against this horrid policy in as compelling terms as I could muster.

Second day of fixing my myGov.
I did as the operator of the help line asked:
*Forgot username
*Forgot password
*Entered code
myGov gave me 404 not found.
It's outside business hours, so I have to continue with this Monday.

Why is he agonising over this? He's clownish enough to join One Nation and is not in danger of accidentally doing anything constructive.
Or just quit parliament - one less buffoon is not going to hurt Australian politics...

Marshmallow jumped up to the couch. She is doing the look around... She has settled next to me.

I need a big pan, a pot and a bowl.
I'll wash the first two - girlfriend used them last night.
That done, I'll prep the ingredients.
Marshmallow came out to brr and sniff me. I owe her a play afterwards.
Note to self: don't be a greedy monster - one serving is enough tonight!

My building has a spooky elevator ride. Darkness envelops you, except for a few panel lights.
A tenant upstairs went down in it with her small son. He was terrified!

Labor's Environmental Protection reform bill is a travesty and might as well have been written by the big dirty companies it's supposed to regulate and prioritises their needs above the environment.
See scorecard below.

At what point are we going to acknowledge poverty is a crisis and take firm action to address it? It's at critical levels in the City of Melbourne. This from The Age today, buried in the middle. Lifting income support payments and loosening restrictive means testing has to be part of the solution.
