Delta Goodrem, Eurovision and Australia's eternal 2004 At the core of Eurovision is the simple truth that it is always 2004. This is why it remains so popular in Australia β€” and has always felt, impossibly, Australian.

Opinion | No country is better at remaining in political and cultural stasis than Australia. That's why Delta Goodrem β€” 2004's girl next door β€” is the perfect choice as our Eurovision representative, @cormacmccafe.bsky.social writes. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/05/d...

Opinion | At Eurovision, the simple truth is that it is always 2004. And in true 2004 spirit, we're sending Delta Goodrem, @cormacmccafe.bsky.social writes.

The greatest gift anyone could ever give me was helping this little book beat Tony Abbott’s myth making of Australia. Thank you 😭

Albanese Supported An Illegal War With No Clear Objective or End. It's A Grim New Low the Albanese government didn’t even know the reason for the war, let alone whether it was unlawful – but they supported it anyway.

It’s not just an illegal war. That would be bad enough.

Today, the Albanese government clearly admitted they gave our support to a war, without even knowing why it was launched.

a nice review of my other/better novel

Truly damning that no one has published it/snapped it up. It’s too good. OzLit isn’t ready for child martial arts prodigies, it seems.

I’m sitting on 4 finished books that allude to Bodkins, but no direct sequels.

I have a rough idea for 2 prequels I’d like to write but

GP’s love to sit you in a chair and get you to watch them type β€˜sick man too beefy??’ on their desktop computer. It’s easy to see why you’d pay 190 dollars for this experience.
