One Nation won 11 seats and almost 23% of the primary vote at the 1998 Queensland state election but due in infighting and resignations they were down to 3 seats in 2001 and only 1 seat by 2004. Its not a stable nor viable party to govern even themselves. #Insiders #auspol

Bangkok sunsets be like…..

Penny Wong has got to be one of the best politicians Australia has ever had, smart, articulate, no nonsense and consistently across her portfolio #insiders #auspol

The very, very funny and naughty Jamie Dunn who voiced the ‘children’s’ show puppet Agro has died. In memory here’s a funny compilation of the best bits of Agro’s Cartoon Connection. #RIPJamieDunn m.youtube.com/watch?v=vdks9s…

Kyle and Jackie O just nuked a $200M contract because Kyle had a tantrum over horoscopes. Imagine flushing a 25-year career down the toilet because Mercury was in retrograde and your ego is literally the size of Uranus. #KyleandJackieO #KIISFM

Today in History, February 19: Britpop, beats and a lust for life on Trainspotting's deathless soundtrack abc.net.au/news/2026-02-1…

Robert Duvall played Boo Radley in To Kill A Mockingbird in one of his first roles in 1962. Duvall’s place in the history of cinema can’t be understated- it just can’t. He’s been apart of some of the most important films in the history of this art form. We lost a giant today. RIP

The only winners out of today’s Liberal leadership spill are political cartoonists switching from cartoonish Sussan Ley to ghoulish Angus Taylor. #LibSpill #auspol

Cory Bernardi, a failed Liberal who quit the party after only seven months, formed his own party that also failed, absorbed the Family First Party and then that failed too. He’s the perfect candidate to join One Nation. #CoryBernardi #Auspol #OneNation

I think we can all agree that we all loved Catherine O'Hara. #RIPCatherineOHara

I ❤️ Hoodoo Gurus - the "wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire" call. First class!!

I was literally rediscovering Rob Hirst’s 90s obscure band the Ghostwriters songs on the weekend - a truly talented Aussie who led one of the best bands ever from the background - Midnight Oil. RIP #RIPRobHirst #MidnightOil
