Thanks, I think I’ll get one.

Is it difficult to clean?

I really think I should get my tomorrow's cartoon out there today, while it's fresh.

Ballroomocracy. My @smh/@theage cartoon.

Don’t vote for him. That will help too.

Get an independent medical assessment of Trump before any more money is handed over for AUKUS.

Man who appealed Pelicot rape conviction handed longer jail term A French court increases by a year the jail term of the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot.

Some much-needed good news

Too much is at stake to just cross fingers it will work out.

I was among this disgraced judge’s victims. Attempts to honour him are an insult The former High Court judge Dyson Heydon is being rehabilitated in some parts of the legal profession. It’s galling.

Powerful piece. “The men now working to rehabilitate Heydon – many..the same ones who once drank in his chambers – never saw his predation. They weren’t his targets. His charm & wit never came with a proposition. That behaviour was reserved for young women like me.” www.theage.com.au/national/i-w...

Sunday Shot this week, we have lawyer of the moment @joshbornstein.bsky.social, Doug Cameron & I've interviewed @petercronau.bsky.social about the American war machine and what barbaric crap they're up to this time. 9am (or watch the Israel has a right to defend itself schtick on the ABC, your call)

'No penalties, no refunds': US quitting AUKUS would leave Australia high and dry Key defence figures on both sides of the Atlantic warn the risks to AUKUS run deeper than whether a review finds it is "America first" enough for Donald Trump.

Get out now.

Excellent article by Rock Morton in the Saturday Paper this morning, on consultants Nous. These guys are so endemic in university managements I ended up writing a whole paper about them. They're basically vampires www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

Single frame. Trump holding in one hand a bag of money and in the other a toy sub marked AUKUS high out of reach of a child-sized Albo. Trump says: “On second thoughts, maybe it’s not the greatest deal ever…” Richard Marles running in from right holding a small ladder and another bag of money.

You just know we’ll be screwed.

Australians voted for climate action.

More than 50 organisations have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister, united under one message: Climate action means no new coal and gas.

Published today in The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Canberra Times. #auspol

Single panel editorial cartoon titled Onward. Shows (new) OL Sussan Ley on her flea-bitten old white stead, sword drawn and pointing forward as she says, “Onward”, she is wearing some armour but there are still knives in her back. With her is (a much smaller) AL O’Brien on his little donkey, with his plastic sword and his nuclear shield. Behind them both is jumbled clouds of brawling people.

We will be worse off for this decision.

Laura is better off reporting on domestic politics.

The suffering is unimaginable 😔

Democracy Sausages. Prime Beef Snag (looks like Albo) “Recent improvement in flavour but will leave you a bit hungry” Nukewurst (looks like Dutton, slight green aura) “(No detail of content at time of publication) Coal notes but leaves a bitter aftertaste.” Country Pork Barrel Banger (looks like David Littleproud) “traditional and meaty.” Vegewiener (gnarly lumpy whiskery thing) “Lots of fibre. Palatable with enough sauce. Mildly laxative.” Trumpet Baloney (Pudding-shaped sausage looks like Clive Palmer) “A little bit of everything and none of it is nice.” The Ipswich Saveloy (looks like Pauline) “A bit fishy but irresistible if you’re desperate.” The Teal Meal (looks like nobody in particular but smiling sausage) “Locally sourced, sustainably produced, a popular alternative.”

Surgeon Greg Malham:

“I will be taking leave while [the] investigation is happening and have self-reported to … AHPRA.

I will be fully accountable for my actions.

I sincerely and unreservedly apologise for this lapse in judgment that does not reflect my core values and beliefs.”

That’s his core values, that’s him!

Crowded room.

Exceptional article in The Age/SMH about Advance and the #AtlasNetwork and, as ‘journalist Mungo MacCallum said at the time, "a stratospherically elite clique of rich, bored men looking for a hobby".’ They are trying to turn Australia into a Trumpian hellscape. #Auspol archive.is/2025.04.17-1...

If you don't want Dutton to win, vote strategically. It's easy.

There is never not a wrong time not to share this heart-warming image of Tim Wilson and his adoring followers!

Two dead, third person missing as monster ocean swells batter NSW coastline Two people have drowned in Sydney and the Illawarra as waves up to five metres high threaten beach plans for the Easter break.

Look, here it is again, that thing that isn’t happening. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...
