Moderators at PETER VAN ONSELEN's 'Daily Mail' happily printing comments calling for the death of Laura Tingle, currently stranded in Dubai. This one of the tamer ones. Their 'House Rules' are just for show.

Wilson has forged an extremely successful career whilst not being asked to provide even a basic level of competence in any of the roles he has secured.

A hero of our age.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Such a darling woman
When I interviewed her, she made me take the rest of her chocolate biscuits, (because she was on a diet) so she packed them into a bag and waved me off
I turned back to say goodbye and had a flashback to Grace Sullivan waving her sons off to war (at least she wasn't crying)

Pauline Hanson’s daughter employed in taxpayer-funded job with NSW One Nation senator Exclusive: Tasmanian Lee Hanson employed as senior adviser to Sean Bell in role worth as much as $180,000

β€œOne Nation does not believe in DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] or gender quotas”
Instead, they believe in nepotism with Poorleen's daughter given a cushy job
Always helping out the "battlers", right?

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

You would think after 30 years that Poorleen might have got some speech training so that she doesn't mangle worlds and have a register that screeches high whenever she gets nervous, but no, she's still unable to deliver one grab or sppech without mucking it up. Utterly useless

Financial expert Andy Darroch has lashed Tim Wilson after it’s revealed he banked on Labor mismanaging the economy by investing in a share market product that profits when the economy slumps.
Darroch β€œit’s been a terrible investment.”πŸ’₯
He can’t even manage his own money #auspol

And when a hurricane is approaching, Cuba moves people to safe spaces, and takes their fridges and TV with them, because that's the only thing of value its citizens have and nobody wants to leave them behind
Comepare that to Hurrican Katrina and New Orleans

It’s never been about protecting women’s sports.

DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media As streaming continues to dominate the film and TV industry, many Gen Z movie watchers are opting out and choosing physical formats instead.

Gen Z is reviving DVDs and Blu-rays, with video rental shops reporting record months and membership numbers as young people embrace physical media, citing frustration with subscription fatigue. Physical media ownership is now being viewed as a form of cultural rebellion. archive.md/nmHtR
