Went to a gallery of his works once and was pleasantly surprised to meet the man himself. He was a really nice fellow and he has left us far too soon.

Honestly governments should just give teenage boys a stipend to go spend on a hobby or sport of their choice rather than letting them engage in whatever this is.

Of course, polling in late 2017 suggested SA’s next premier would be Nick Xenophon.

Back in my day you had to be a Liberal backbencher in Tasmania’s Legislative Assembly to claim your own micronation…

It’s pretty much Mac or Linux at this point if you don’t want CoPilot.

The normalising of filming people in public minding their own business is one of the more deleterious trends in the past decade.

Very impressive. I got to take the XPT from Dubbo to Sydney earlier this year, and although it’s not a bad train by any means I’m keen to see how the CAF compares.
