The cop riot So, first things first, a big congrats to Angus Taylor.

Because I grew up in QLD in the β€˜80s, I’m more often surprised when police *don’t* attack demonstrators. So I’ve had that familiar feeling this week of watching people come to a difficult truth: when you see a demo turn ugly, it’s almost always because the cops decided that’s how it was gonna go.

The Albanese Government just approved another huge coal mine- that will make Australia hotter, drier and cause more frequent and extreme disasters.

236 million tonnes of emissions over its life = double Australia's annual emissions, 1200x Vanuatu.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Video shows protestor's violent arrest began with a hand on a shoulder New video obtained by ABC NEWS Verify shows in vivid detail the arrest of a 76-year-old man, who was later released without charge.

It's fitting testimony to both Chris Minns' political acuity & the sheer bravery of NSW Police that it took six of his uniformed goons to tackle a septuagenarian opposed to the crime of genocide to the ground.

Wednesday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Jon Kudelka helped me get my first cartooning job at The Mercury. He also showed me how to be quick-witted and fearless. I was in a constant state of joke-envy over his cartoons. I'm gonna miss that feeling, but more than that, I'm gonna miss my friend.
