As someone who has been there, may I just say this entire song is one magnificently ethereal, powerful, lyrical "fuck you" and I love Lily Allen for it.

The mayor of Tamworth Council is a very old mate of Barnaby Joyce's and a National party member

No surprises this backward collection of red-necks drags their council to court on their ratepayers' money to oppose a wind farm - and even then can't get their legal arguments right
Tamworth Council went to court to try and stop a wind farm. It didn’t go well. Tamworth Council argued that the wind turbines would be too big for local roads. The judge pointed out there is no approval needed to drive on a public road reneweconomy.com.au/youve-got-to...

How much longer is this farce of a sideshow going to continue?

NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, is once again embroiled in controversy.

The NACC Inspector, Gail Furness is currently investigating several complaints against Mr Brereton.

His position is untenable.

In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019

It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . .

To all the extremely obvious astro-turfers (thank you for your attention, it's validating 👋) in The Sunday Shot's live chat that want to see more "balance" i.e. right-wing bullshit, just watch.... I dunno, every single other show on TV? We are the balance across a decrepit landscape. You'll cope!

Ahem

Today my debut novel #Gunnawah officially became the Number 1 best seller

That means I'll get a private jet, and a 10 year supply of Grey Goose and Tim Tams, and a marching team of cartwheeling dachshunds and . . . . .

No media about this?

NSW Police investigated 14 incidents of alleged antisemitic attacks and found NO evidence of Iran or any other foreign agent acting in relation to the 14 alleged antisemitic incidences

The Minns and Albanese govts both exploited this falsehood to further their own agendas

It truly is a sign of how desperate Sussan Ley is - how she must be plumbing the depths of her handbag looking for inspiration - that she's clutching her plastic bangles about a 70's pop group on a t-shirt

Has Jillian Segal come out in support of her boss, Anthony Albanese yet?

This would be the time for her to say something.

Of course that's only if her actual boss - Israel - gives her the all clear.

This is a great piece by Michelle Pini

Marr's attitude in this was so obviously personal, so much so that his loudly wounded ego overtook the interview, falling victim to the #NotAllMen syndrome, and clearly taking Hedge's journalism criticisms as an attack on him personally.

Stunning writing

Stunning observations

Watch how our society in all its facets - built by men, designed by men, produced by men, predominantly controlled by men - works to protect the man every time

Of course, if you can not, and so many of us will not be able to read it for so many reasons, please share and let people know about the story of this extraordinary woman

Dave: I assume these people [press gallery] would feel pangs of shame

Chris Hedges: I don't think these people feel any shame at all ...

The self-adulation is kind of off the charts, and they're not particularly introspective or self-critical

Vote now, if you haven't already, for the Guardian's Bird of the Year 2025

It helps to nominate a bird that's endangered, giving it a much higher profile - like Baudin's black cockatoo for example

Please vote - this is a wonderful environmental exercise
