Mum is very much on my mind at this time of year, so once again I invite you to listen to me reliving some of her adventures with @rfidler on @abcconvos - for me it was an hour of enjoyable catharsis @MUPublishing abc.net.au/radio/programs…

My Address to the Nation.

Say goodbye to card surcharges.

War in the Middle East is pushing up petrol prices, so we're doing everything we can to save you money here at home.

We're halving the fuel tax for three months to save you money when you fill up. Conflict overseas is pushing up prices at home. And we know Australians are feeling the pressure.

30 years ago today, Troy McClure starred in the musical “Stop the Planet of the Apes (I Want to Get Off)”. #TheSimpsons episode “A Fish Called Selma” first aired March 24, 1996.

Vale Rhoda Roberts.

Superb doco, well worth watching. So many funny moments from Micky P, Trimmers, Gus, Ange — and the other cast of thousands.

They are safe here, and should feel at home here.

Welcome to Australia, @MarkJCarney. Let's get to work 🇦🇺 🇨🇦

From $250,000 to $25. We’re making more life saving medicines affordable for Australians.

Today marks four years since Russia invaded Ukraine, a violation of international law that remains as immoral and repugnant now as it did then. We pause to reflect on all that the Ukrainian people have endured. We think of every life so cruelly and pointlessly stolen. We think of every life damaged forever. Yet we are also awed by the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people and their refusal to buckle to the tyrant in the Kremlin. We stand with Ukraine. Our support includes a commitment of over $1.7 billion in total assistance, including $1.5 billion in military support to help Ukraine defend itself. We remain committed to ensuring that Russia and its enablers face consequences. Today, our Government has imposed additional targeted sanctions on 180 individuals, entities and shadow fleet vessels with links to Russia, bringing the total number of Australian sanctions to more than 1800. We continue to coordinate closely with Ukraine and international partners through the Coalition of the Willing, and we continue to push for a just and lasting peace. A peace that upholds Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, supports Europe’s security and stability, and delivers us a world liberated from Russia’s aggression. Slava Ukraini!

Ramadan Mubarak! Generations of Muslim Australians have enriched our country, and tonight we celebrated with the community in Dandenong. Over the month ahead, may your faith sustain and comfort you, and may it surround you with the love and nurture of others.

Stop saying every screen version of Wuthering Heights is terrible, there is a perfect adaptation and it was made by Monty Python.

@Bedeapk First Pigsy was better though

In Dondoro, in Dondoro, they say it was in India

Here is my cartoon about Mr Jon Kudelka theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

My dear friend Jon Kudelka remembered in Parliament this morning.

Jon Kudelka was a very nice man and an exasperatingly good cartoonist. I loved him very much and I will miss him dearly.

@swegen31 That was a fine evening

Kudelka was (and always will be) the best part of Twitter
