@TheKouk @GrayConnolly So many economists and people commenting on economics use religious imagery and call on us to repent through suffering. These people should just go to church and leave seeking prosperity- not posterity - to others!

FMD: "Cleansing"? A bit of comeuppance for the hundreds of thousands of people gainfully employed? What a hideous joke. I dare not guess your solution to old people living in expensive houses that are also destroying the budget as a result of the cost of giving them dignity in their twilight years.

Australia has never had the cleansing recession it has needed since 2008 – particularly in respect of over leveraged properly investors & their pain will put more homes on the market for younger buyers. Chance for the RBA to repent of Glenn Stevensism

You can express indignation about the inappropriate use of public money without falling back on the insidious "taxpayer's money" trope. If anything, it makes an even stronger case, because IT IS public money, and the only legitimate purpose of public money is the public purpose.

Jack Black slams trump "He's destroying the universe" This video was deleted from Twitter by Elon Musk. You know what to do ‼️

.@GuyStayner excellent explanation the need for strike action by ABC staff. Well presented and clear! Solidarity.

Yesterday the Tasmanian men’s cricket team beat a team above them on the ladder in a very good match where the team delivered the promise it has shown but often squandered all season. The Examiner (today’s edition) does not mention it at all but covers the SA v Victoria game.

It's happening again: Those who demand smaller govt & wish for the 'govt to get out of my life' are now screaming loudest that the govt should do something about petrol. Hypocrisy in extremis

@rohan_connolly It’s more and more like WWE. Entertainment rather than sport.

Looking for strategies to survive the next seven months of AFL content on TV. Seriously considering the "switch on literally at first bounce, off the moment siren goes" option. Does that help preserve one's sanity? #aflbluescats

@lithgowflashman Saved the game and gave Tas a real chance to win it!

In the midst of doom and gloom about Australian cricket, Beau Webster continues to shine. A brilliant 100 off 248 deliveries What a player.

What has happened to Isabella Higgins? Doesn’t she anchor AM on the ABC?

@DocAtCDI Why wouldn’t you abolish the position permanently? You have a Congress from which a government could be formed.

I Propose we close the presidency for the next two years, to do a complete remodeling and rebranding, and bring it up to speed with current codes and expectations. Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter --Doc At CDI

My pick for Ambassador to the former United States of America was @vanbadham . My plan has not come to fruition.

We need a Royal Commission into Male Violence Against Women. How many more women must die at the hands of violent men before we see real action?

@kevinbonham So strictly speaking I think you are saying you can’t vote remotely, although you can have a pair recorded, in away that means it’s visible how you would have voted?

@rodhunt They may mean that there is a pairing arrangement with the other side such that their vote still in effect counts while away.

Hey @kevinbonham I received a message from a Senator who told me they wouldn’t be in Canberra this week but their vote would be recorded. Does this happen? Can the Senator work from home?

@lithgowflashman I hope you are correct David but by August there will be all sorts of project players, hunches, great form in the IPL, media fads and other “reasons” why Beau can be left out. Actual Test performance will be rationalised as history.

I suspect that we won’t have to worry about Webster playing the next Test. It really was a mystery.

🚨NEW: Elon Musk has suspended U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar's Twitter account. This comes as the Trump Administration and its allies ratchet up attacks on Minnesota in the aftermath of the ICE Renee Good killing. RETWEET if you stand with @AmyKlobuchar!

@MusicBrownlow 3- On the Beach 2- Blood on the Tracks 1- Pink moon

Voting is open in the #GaryDempseyMedal. The list below contains 100 albums that were voted by you as the Top 10 of each year of the 70s. Give us your 3-2-1.

@PhillipAdams_1 Has the phone rung yet? Your invite to represent us in Washington must be on its way.

@PaulBongiorno @PeterCronau That’s an unlikely scenario Paul

@PeterCronau So disappointing. The shoppies union needs to catch up to contemporary Australia.

Oookay. “By law I as Premier am prevented from directing the Board,” Malinauskas said “However when asked for my opinion I was happy to make it clear the state government did not support the inclusion of Abdel-Fattah on the Adelaide Writers Week program” theguardian.com/australia-news…

This is a deliberate attempt to maintain the political rage against the Prime Minister and milk a tragic event. A Royal Commission is not for you to prescribe the outcome @JoshFrydenberg particularly if it is about all forms of hate speech and the drivers of that hatred.
