As someone who spent 3 years in the funeral industry, you're absolutely correct.

I found this well reasoned and sensible.

The Trump administration's motto seems to be that anyone who contradicts them will be called names. This highlights the immaturity of this government. I'd like to say Levitt needs counselling, but to be honest, I think an exorcism would be better. Don't know how those crosses don't burn her.

He sort of reminds me as the Labor equivalent of “Great work Angus” Taylor.

Honestly if the influence of Murdoch was 1/10th of what some think it is now, the Coalition should have 90+ seats in parliament, not the current arrangement. It’s all piss and wind with a side of hatred.

A lot of reposts from @thesaturdaypaper.com.au regarding Credlins & Abbotts oversized influence in the Liberal party. I’m good with it. Provided the ALP is not consumed by hubris they could beat Pig Iron Bob’s record for the longest term in government.

Honestly I think the influence of Murdoch is shrinking rapidly. The snake is devouring its own tail.

Read a great line in the paper today about why the Nats are keen to renegotiate now to get their perks back. "Never stand in the way of a National MP & a white car"

I can’t help but feel that the Nationals realised that they’d go to minor party status and lose entitlements, staff, and remuneration with this “split”. As a result, they hit the panic button and told Littleproud to reopen talks with Ley. Unsure why farmers vote for them they’re a miners party now

Gina Rinehart weighs in on Coalition’s election loss — The Nightly Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has weighed in on Anthony Albanese’s landslide election win, urging the Liberal Party to ‘learn from the loss and rebuild’.

It must be wonderful to be a billionaire. You can wrap yourself up in a bubble, delude yourself with your wisdom and be so far removed from everyone else, you have no idea what goes on for the unwashed 99% of us

My hope in the next few days is that the Sky after dark pundits give 2 pieces of advice to the Coalition:
1. Make Angus Taylor the leader
2. Move your policies further to the right.

In a grotesque display of his ego, Trump claimed the Canadian election result was caused by himself (true, but WTF?). Wonder if he’ll do the same with what happened tonight in Australia.

She’s an expert on making it personal, so she’s well placed to make that call.

'The math isn't mathing': Middle-class consumption now feels closer to luxury From our coffee addiction to a weekend pub tradition, some of the simple pleasures many Australians have taken for granted now feel like luxuries. But if patrons can no longer afford to visit the pubs...

After the gym I buy my dad and myself a coffee. Sometimes, we split a fruit toast with. When I hand over $20 still get 50c change. When I'm asked for extra it'll be my last. No beef with the cafe, great owner, hires plenty of people. Can't afford any more than that.

Two things I’d like to see on the #7afl coverage. No more than 5 gambling ads per hour and stop the excessive hyperbole with the intro narration. I’m barracking for Brisbane because Collingwood.

I don’t often barrack for Port Adelaide in the AFL. But hats off for tonight’s display against Hawthorn, a team I utterly despise.

The insurrection act and Trump. Potentially only 2 weeks away. Hands off protesters could be fired upon now that there are no “adults” in the room with the President.
