John Duniam talking about childcare, but does not mention his conflict of interest, owning a centre in Hobart.

Why doesn't the ABC ask these questions?

#qantas losing 1 in 4 Australians data. This is now a government issue. Do better @albomp.bsky.social and @tonyburkemp.bsky.social

Happy winter solstice, everyone. I went to our local lantern festival. I hope you enjoyed the shortest day of the year.

So the score review was a point. Was it touched before it crossed the line or after? Why don't we know?

Not suggesting that the umpiring is "interesting", but the early free call was very pro Footscray. Hard to watch.

Had our gas meter removed this week. One more step in the path to getting off fossil fuels forever

I saw reports that Dutton has given Jacinta Nampijinpa-Price the role of shadow minister for government efficiency and I had to check it it wasn't a joke.

It is not a joke.

I'm not particularly interested in tennis, but the Djokevitch saga about bagging Serbia after her entered Australia illegally in 2022 and then accused the government of poisoning him. What does he expect?

Enjoyable cricket so far and Konstas has been a revelation. Enjoying him being unorthodox and successful.

Fun fact. Billionaires use less toilet paper than those on minimum wage. It's not a diet thing. It's just there are 159 billionaires in Australia and as many as 1 million workers on the minimum wage.
