Justin Brash

Amyl was everywhere in those days. Hahahahahaha.

Throwback photo, 40 years ago, 1985, when I co-managed a trashy gay bar on Oxford Street, Sydney. Exchange Hotel (now closed) , a beardless Brash with the beautiful Ginger Benson, barmaid to the Stars, enjoying a couple of late night staffies. We might have been trashy but we also had style!

Cool.

Don’t be silly, he’s attending a diplomatic event. I think most Australians understand why a leader attends events like this.

I think one of the main reasons is he’s attending the inauguration of a leader of an independent nation where many if not most other leaders of nations are also attending. If Dutton had won a fortnight ago he would be there as well.

I’m one of those odd Australians who actually like sarsaparilla. Try it one day with a shot of bourbon.

‘Still counting while packing the car at Dan Murphy’s’
That’s two case of VB, a bottle of tequila, one scotch, pink gin for Jane, a couple of goon bags for Prue, and a bottle of Passion Pop for the hubby.

Most of the world’s leaders attend events such as this and many diplomatic meetings happen. This is important for our leader to attend. If he didn’t, the conservative media would say it’s a snub.

It seems the majority of Australians preferred to put the LNP in the bin.

I suffer from a condition where I metabolised electrolytes faster than the average population. I’ve had to supplement my sodium & potassium intake for over 35 years. This leads to chronic low blood pressure. The medical advice is “chose salty food & add salt”. I also drink lots of sports drinks.

I grew up in a violent household. I remember being fearful my father would kill my mother from about age five onwards until I finally left home at seventeen. It was a brutal way to grow up. I still suffer from anxiety to this day, now aged 70.

How preferences got the government the electorate preferred? There, fixed the headline.

And allowed to continue looking after his kids. Will they grow up resenting the man who killed their mother?

Didn’t Kapterian vote in the Liberal leadership yesterday?

Grey-headed fruit bat (flying fox) heading out on a feeding run at the golden hour, early evening with a red sunset, Surry Hills, Sydney. Looks surreal in this light. #NaturePhotography

In a surprise move, Guide Dogs Victoria has not endorsed a candidate in tomorrow’s election. #AusPol2025

“This here’s the wattle,
the emblem of our land,
you can stick it in a bottle,
or you can hold it in your hand”

Voracious mosquitoes predators. Always handy to have about.

The last time I was in the emergency room at my local hospital, they told me I had acute angina … “well thanks for the compliment but I haven’t transitioned yet, I still have my penis!”

Moonee Ponds has previous aristocratic history, a certain Dame!

How long ago was American beef infected with mad cow disease? This is the reason Australia won’t touch it.

With all this talk of Dutton preferring Kirribilli over Canberra, I think Melbournites may feel they’re missing out. I think the prime minister should also have a Melbourne residence at their disposal - a modest two bedder in Moonee Ponds perhaps? #KirribilliPete #Auspol2025

Hahahahahaha.

Where does Timmy take his tradies now he doesn’t have access to the parliamentary prayer room?

I have to agree with Trump on the Heard Island tariffs, penguins can be such bastards. Tax the fuck out of them.

I’m guessing she preferred to listen to Angus ‘well done’ Taylor at the NPC! I hope the empty chair had some good talking points.

When they tell you what they will do, believe them. Otherwise we’ll end up with #TemuTrump.

We lost our darling BabyCat last night. She was sick for a couple of days but I didn’t realise how sick she was. Found her this morning & had a cry. Maude seemed unperturbed that her nemesis wasn’t moving. Such is life (& death). Having a wake tonight. Rest my little tigress.

Thinking of starting a gay Laura Tingle fan club called “the Fruit Tingles” #abc730
