Vale: Ted Emery | TV Tonight Legendary Australian comedy director Ted Emery, best known for Kath and Kim, Fast Forward and Countdown, has died.

RIP to the great Ted Emery, as funny as the dozens of TV comedies he directed. All who worked with him will miss his no-nonsense style, kindness, and many, many x-rated stories about working on β€˜Countdown’. tvtonight.com.au/2026/03/vale...

Middle class white people of the left stop centering themselves in everything challenge.

If you aren’t centering the feelings of the Australian Iranian population in this you are a creepy cunt and probably a bit racist.

The report was leaked after initially being withheld from publication when Dutton suggested it could result in a defamation suit, in a move that probably could have been added to the report. chaser.com.au/national/sho...

I've written to ask the ACCC to help ensure fuel retailers don't use events in the Middle East to price gouge Australians.

Aus should never forget the Howard LNP govt sending Aus troops into IRAQ war on the basis of " weapons of mass destruction". Howard lied to Aus. The fever to back USA is as strong now with the current Libs & Nats led by Taylor & Littleproud.

Work From Home Rights Won't Depend On Headcount If you can do your job from home, you’ll have the right to do so – no matter the size of your workplace. That means small business workers who can work from home will have that right protected two day...

Building nuclear powered submarines with the UK and shifting our entire defense strategy to expeditionary, literal area access and denial (with networked, attritable mass) is doing precisely that. Let's keep going πŸ’ͺ #auspol

Devistating, but it is important not to 'white wash' the deaths of males in Gaza which were about 66 per cent of all deaths. 3 times the number of adult males were killed compared with adult females. These men are people too and their murder shouldn't be ignored.

SCENE: NOT TO BE SNIFFED AT (1984): Episode of venerable BBC education show for teens dealing with that 1980s scourge, glue sniffers (or 'glueys', as we called them). Astonishingly, it opens by showing kids how to sniff glue/solvents to the strains of Johnny Rotten's 'My Way'!

Douglas Todd: Jarring 18-storey tower on leafy Vancouver street a sign of the out-of-scale times
About 10 steel-and-glass highrises, much like the one proposed for Yukon and 14th, are set to arise among character homes within the Broadway plan zone.

Douglas Todd: Hundreds of quiet east Vancouver side streets upzoned for six-storey apartment blocks
Some residents in the vast Rupert and Renfrew area did not know their pleasant side streets had been upzoned for six- to eight-storey apartment blocks. It calls into question the city of Vancouver's murky "engagement strategy."

'Monstrosities' or the evolution of housing? Multi-unit buildings on single-family lots gain traction in B.C. cities
The number of multi-unit developments on single-family lots is increasing in B.C. neighbourhoods dominated by single-detached houses. Opinions vary over what these changes will mean for communities.

Anakin/Padme meme

I oppose this building because it's too tall

It's just this building, not all new housing?

You are not against all new housing, right?

A storey in four acts as captured by local news media:

18 storeys is too high, we’d be fine with 4-6 storeys

6 storeys are too big, we'd be fine with multiplexes

Multiplexes are monstrosities, we are fine with existing post-Second World War bungalows

😑 Tuesday: Patricia Karvelas promotes the Hate Speech of Advance.

😑 Friday: WA police arrest white supremacist on terrorism charges.
They blame social media, ignoring the biggest spreaders of hate: the media, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, Advance etc.
