A crispy pile of fries and a burger wrapped in red-and-white paper, a can of craft beer, and The Saturday Paper, suggesting the owner plans to balance carbs with current affairs in the most Australian way possible. Also, JB’s wife might be elsewhere

Burqa with the works. Not to borrow from our accursed American cousins, but I’m going to miss Barnaby Joyce when he’s gone, so I’d like to give thanks, while he’s still with us, for all the years of entertainment he’s prov...

For me, Barnaby will be forever remembered as the bloke who couldn’t hold his drink, keep his pants on, or accept the science that spelled disaster for the people he swore to serve in the dust-choked margins of rural Australia.

somewhere there is a dad so zen he does not get involved in scraping and rinsing the dishes before they go in the dishwasher, nor in stacking the machine for optimum washing ability, but I don't know him.

Who deserves a state funeral less? Lawsie or Richo? It’s nice for John Laws that so many people remembered him when he finally shuffled off his golden coil, even if they were lining up to piss on his grave, and it’s nice too that he died so close to Gr...
