Our household cheers when Janice Pietersen is rostered on for the 6.30 news on SBS. No distractions! Hair....tick. Modest makeup....tick. Outfits, elegant, stylish, simplistic....tick. Accessories, minimal....tick. Speech, clear, well-paced, excellent breathing....tick. Exemplar!

@NRL NRL….do something about the sound at Accor Stadium. Disgraceful. Just a bank of indecipherable noise. General public, advertisers, workers can’t understand a word of it. Tonight I’m at the SCG for the Swans game. No comparison….so the atmosphere is much, much better.

Bulldogs winger Josh Addo-Carr will undergo surgery on Saturday after he suffered a nasty syndesmosis injury in the side's Good Friday loss to the Rabbitohs.

@JaniceKPetersen Gooday again Janice. I’ve posted on Facebook that it is my belief that you are the best newsreader in Australia. And my wife and I watch a LOT of news….SBS, ABC, commercials and overseas agencies. My fear is that you will be poached by CNN, Al Jazehhra , BBC etc. Best wishes

Did the James Webb telescope capture that sky high kick? 🔭 #StateofOrigin

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

@RuthForrestMLC I can neither confirm nor deny that I have called Ruth any of these.

This 👇 pretty sure I have been called all of these! Thank you to all strong #women who push through the #stereotypes & critics - It’s all about perspective really - I will keep working on the right side #women #leadership #Respect

@swegen31 I nearly posted a humorous question but this is too serious.

There was a time in Hobart when the only thing that would attract a line this long in January was tempura mushrooms

@mjrowland68 Well it shouldn’t surprise you that Josh Frydenberg is connected.

Virus-Regal.. Who HASN’T got it at the moment!!

@CraigAPerkins @leith_perkins Lower prices were just the beginning and then Mud? (Mind you…value for money. Good choice)

After a bit of Kmart and Bunnings…we’ve earned some Mud!

@CraigAPerkins @leith_perkins They didn’t know you were coming?

Packed up a day early to avoid the apparent rain on the way. SeaHorse World Cafe for lunch. Plenty of peoples here as well.

@JaniceKPetersen Well done Janice on your work at SBS News. You are getting better all the time. Clear diction, well controlled, working with your colleagues to create a team effort. What a communicator you are! My wife and I are disappointed when you are not on.

@mjrowland68 @westernbulldogs @PAFC Wear a disguise so Kochie doesn’t see you. Take it off if you win!

So, I'm heading to Adelaide this weekend to watch the @westernbulldogs slay @PAFC (sorry, Kochie..) Any tips on what to do and where to go before I head to the magnificent Adelaide Oval??

@CraigAPerkins Tick !

This article lost me with “must play all its home games in a new stadium with a roof”. Yes, because every other AFL team plays at a ground with a roof! NOT! Last time I looked, there’s only one such stadium. Base it in Hobart, play games north and south! themercury.com.au/news/opinion/n…

@CraigAPerkins I’m just managing to restrain myself on that article by Simon Bevilaqua in the Mercury

@CraigAPerkins Hear hear Craig....you’re on the money!

@kevinbonham Checkmate next time.

Pleased to advise the House that I have just been re-elected as Vice-President of the Australian Chess Federation for a seventh two-year term in the first contested election since 2013.

@BarnsGreg @ambervwilson In years to come we’ll look back and wonder why the hell it took so long to get this available.

@ambervwilson He is so right.

A Tasmanian fella has made an emotional plea to the premier to make medicinal cannabis easier to access in the state. themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/…

@kevinbonham @auspolsucks Good point Kevin. That is always used to criticise the Legco and it is unnecessary.

@auspolsucks The latter. I would definitely make at least one change to the LegCo system here - I would scrap its ability to block Supply and force an election without itself being dissolved.

I abandoned my former scepticism about the need for a Tasmanian upper house, circa 2012.

@CraigAPerkins The one on the left or the one in the middle?

Can’t not say hi to the Mayor when visiting St Helens! Apparently taking a selfie with a donkey in his shop is a thing! (Well it is now!)
