'Mixed' reviews for John Laws : even if the laudatory border on grudging.
Still, I think he's faring a whole lot better than Alan Jones will when he eventually shuffles off.

Yep, he hit that one out of the park.
@mikecarlton01.bsky.social on @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social talking about John Laws and is surprisingly complimentary.
He then talks about Alan Jones and describes him as a hard right wing commentator with an audience of mostly stupid people. 🤣

Is this why people suddenly pass out in the Oval Office etc?

It's not going to bother her one bit but that Sarah Henderson would have to be among the grubbiest, most opportunistic and self serving politicians in Canberra. And that really is saying something.

Thank you : the reality is bad enough.

50 years ago, Gough Whitlam was sacked as prime minister. But is the dismissal's legacy really appreciated?

Well, I'm definitely going to hell because I say Merry Xmas to all and as Exhibit A shows, I shorten Christmas to Xmas.
We have the same shit here in Oz but in 69 years (thankfully not talking for the first couple) I've never been pulled up for saying Merry Xmas.

In the UK similar pillocks got all upset about the shorthand 'Xmas', que pointing out that this monastic shorthand (they'd use Chi, 'X', for 'Christ') since the twelfth century

Trump says he’ll remove funding if a DEMOCRATICALLY elected official gets a gig and supporters are fine with it. Locally, the 50th anniversary of the Dismissal looms & some posts I’ve seen suggest they’d like to see the same happen to Albo & co. Hypocrisy & stupidity are a dangerous fucking double!

The backstory on every Christian hymn is like "his children died one by one from smallpox, then his wife exploded from grief. During this dark time is when he wrote 'Peace and Joy Be Unto Us at All Times.'"

Will I ever live to see the day when someone is interviewed at an Australia rally who doesn't start off by saying "I'm not a racist ..."

Well, you're my movie maven so might have to give that one a miss 😀
Is that about Neil Diamond? Yeah, the movie is bad. I think someone gave to me back when I was in the throes of Hugh obsession. It’s passed now. Thanks for her handle. You’re my two fave Aussies. After ONJ, rip.

Could never bring myself to watch Australia although I'm a big fan of Hugh Jackman (maybe not as big a fan as you 😀) and looking forward to his upcoming movie Song Sung Blue.

@tobes56.bsky.social ; im rewatching the tripe that was the Nicole Kidman/Hugh Jackman movie “Australia“ and realizing the outback might not be so bad if it involves a tent and Hugh. Ps. I can’t remember Jessica profile name. Hope you’re both well!
