I've seen enough

I was unaware! Thanks. Two years after she was culturally relevant - so you can excuse my error.

Sure the coaches have it covered.

My advice to Carlos Alcaraz would be De Minaur only eats when you feed him errors. Slightly more safety on the shots, Alex goes for his own winners and misses.

Demon strikes back. Good on him.

De Minaur broken first service game. #AustralianOpen

I'm so concerned that because this wasn't spelled Ke$ha it's not really her.

Love that everything even the net posts lights up red when you hit out at AO.

As if to say: Damn, even the chair hates you!!

$5bn of incorrect age pension payments revealed as seniors left waiting There were $5 billion in incorrect payments made in three years, with more than 70 per cent overpayments, according to a scathing auditor-general’s report.

Fortnightly pension rates are calculated using automated IT systems, but the auditor-general found Services Australia had not fully assessed the risks associated with its reliance on automation www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Not sure why you'd take comfort from them "only" winning 11 seats on 22.6% primary at a QLD state election when (A) 11 is a lot, (B) they're polling higher than that and (C) that's approaching the tipping point where you win a heap more.

I agree with Os. And would add there are tipping points. Primary vote of 10-15% very unlikely you'll win a seat unless super concentrated liked Nats and Greens. 15-20% still unlikely. 25% suddenly likely! 30% winning a swag of them!!!

Top marks to Gareth Hutchens and the ABC for publishing this.

Very kind thank you

This split could be end of the Coalition as we have known it The third separation in the alliance’s history has a whiff of long-termness about it, such is the rancour between the two partner parties.

And as ever we're blessed with the peerless Phil Coorey:

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Why we’re all the losers from the hate speech fracas The biggest losers in the political brinkmanship Anthony Albanese and Labor lured Sussan Ley and the Liberals into with the hate group legislation no one wanted, is as always the public.

It's weeks like this I realise how much poorer we are for not having Katharine Murphy in the gallery.

But thanks to The New Daily and Australia Institute we still have fabulous @amyremeikis.bsky.social

who this morning already predicted curtains for Ley

Yep. No criticism of him, more the clearly misplaced media hype.

De Minaur already being outhit by a Serbian youngster and down a set.

Time to shred another summer's worth of "Demon is jacked now, he's not making up the numbers, he's earned his top 6/8/10 place now" articles

Did...did we not?

I'm betting they don't even make 6 months!

Dude they don't even make six minutes.

John McEnroe and Jim Courier are breaking the fourth wall by doubting the longevity of #MAFS marriages! Heresy!!

I bet my friend who said "wouldn't it be great if you could be a cab driver but only one day a year" in 2006 would like a cut of Uber's revenue as well

I'm glad people are pushing back but sadly I can see this is going to become so commonplace it will eventually be a dog bites man story.

Love & Thoms, US edition

I think it shows a lack of empathy/consideration for groups who are victims of racist speech but wouldn't have the power to shame anyone out of it, so need the state to intervene and protect them.

But I think that was obvious already at the time.

Is it inconsistent to advocate for liberal speech laws for the marketplace of ideas, then to shame a newspaper out of running a cartoon you disagree with? Not banning, just declining to publish.

Right to be a bigot =/= an obligation to be one, after all.

Oh man they saw the future. Bean counters to the rescue

It's understatement/a joke. No I did not only just notice global heating.

God you don't know how insufferable I would've been if I'd written this.

WELL DID I TELL THEM OR DID I TELL THEM?!?

Someone should tell world governments. Do a little whip around about how we can nobble this thing.
