Didn’t he say something like ‘we’re just new.’? They’ve been in opposition for four years. And he couldn’t explain what the crocodiles were that he was talking about. I particularly hated the gasless smirk he was wearing when the camera first switched to him.

I know how she feels. Poor girl. Hope the meds are successful.

What does she make of the anti government protests in Israel, I wonder.

Good luck. I reported someone who threatened me, telling me I should be very afraid of them, to Facebook. Guess what that doesn’t break their community standards.

Are they going to claim that swastikas in satire are illegal?

Joe Root has now scored no less than sixty centuries in international cricket.

This is impressive, but he has none in Iceland.

We remain the final frontier for so many greats.

Can he do it on a lava bedded wicket in Reykjavík?

The mayor did. Very publicly.

Tony didn’t assimilate very well did he? Not with the Sir Prince Philip stuff. That’s not very Australian and it certainly doesn’t agree with our values.

My grandfather, at that time leaving his job as a miner in Balmain (too gassy, too dangerous) to move to Old Bulli Colliery in the Illawarra, would have been marching there. A strong union man.

Why is this country privileged? Other countries need some kind of swap or training agreement.

Well, Tony said he and Angus have a lot in common, and they have the same ideas. She has another pet.

Best wishes. Those birds need their photographer back as soon as she’ll feeling healthy again.

What’s an Anglo-Celtic character? I’m Celtic-Anglo-Saxo myself, but I’m not even like a British person in character, let alone any other vaguely European person who might have similar ancestry. Not Judeo-Christian. And I’m nothing like the Mad Monk either. He should stop stereotyping people.

Ha. Australia has no voter ID, compulsory voting, and virtually no voter fraud.

I would have thought that our ‘way of life’ was to live however you want, provided you don’t break the law.

History teachers are terrified by new hate speech laws, with good reason Could explaining historical antisemitism be perceived as vilifying Jewish people? Newly enacted NSW laws could lead to silence.

I’m not arguing. I simply pointed out that tensions were probably higher because Sydney was where Hertzog was speaking.

These sad little people who want to remove an honour that she richly deserved because she didn’t become their pet parrot.

No use asking me. I’m a republican so my answer would be nobody.

I’m still puzzled as to why Albo described him as the leader of Jews in Australia.

This from a man who wants us to believe that God spoke to him through a painting of an eagle and told him he was going to be prime minister. Seriously!

When you have the time to think about the comparison you must feel extremely proud and satisfied. What a transformation.

Well, yes. What’s wrong with these people that they can’t live in a world where people disagree?
