Fiddling around at the edges by reducing fuel excise for three months. Permanent security of energy is what’s needed. Get a grip on Australia’s resources @AlboMP @ausgov

Now is the time for @ausgov @AlboMP to take control of the oil and energy resources from out of the ground to refining and sale. In 25 years Australia would be Norway and not worried if petrol will run out in 30 days. #oil #gas

All media get out of Bondi and leave people to grieve in peace. #bondi #guncontrol

@spursofficial slip slidin’ away, slip slidin away. You know the nearer your destination the more you’re slip slidin’ away. - Paul Simon Change is already a month overdue. Waiting any longer borders on bad governance. #coys

@FionaGrant48024 You’ve got to find a man first that’s willing. Doubtful!

lf she slapped my baby she would be going down hard

Congrats @elonmusk on your possible earnings at @Tesla over the next ten years up to $2B a week by my calculations. Difficult spending or finding things to do with the money. 2B people in the world can’t access clean running water. That would be a good and great problem to solve.

November 2014 @LFC last lost four consecutive games and it’s August/September 1953, over 73 years, since they lost five in a row.

To add housing supply of affordable housing for first time @AlboMP is to put money into builds specifically for that cohort excluding all others. Property to be lived in for 10 years, no renting. Anyone selling prior has to sell at purchase price direct to the Govt. #housing

Admit it @SawyerMerritt you could become a member of the mile high club way before @Starlink but you just didn’t did you? Fly @united

You are way behind me @elonmusk I cancelled six months ago.

@ausgov @AlboMP just lit the blue touch paper under the housing market and retired. A sub prime housing bubble waiting to happen.

Does @POTUS understand you should never criticise someone in their own house? I wonder how he’d feel if I went into one of his hotels stood at a lectern and told the assembled guests how shit the hotel is? It’s just rude and ill mannered. #un

@dave41619095 @HaveeSnowball Probably not living but in the queue early to buy tickets for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics so they don’t miss out.

@HaveeSnowball Well, we know the same thing is happening in Brisbane.. the descendants of the First Settler Australians are now living in tents besides the river. (literally) How about sydney? That city seems to always escape the critique. 🤔

With my greatest apprehension, I decided to go to Melbourne CBD to buy a 20th year wedding anniversary present. It's platinum, of course - although I doubt many people are married 20 years now, or they care about our traditions. I was greeted to Melbourne by an ugly Indian tourist trying to take my photo. I politely asked them to decline :-) Yes, I know, it is okay to take photos of people publicly, but expect a punch in the face if you don't stop when asked. So I was shocked how poor Melbourne is looking. It is looking very dodgy indeed. Bourke street was looking a treat (photos below). I went to David Jones, supposedly upmarket shopping (or at least it used to be), to find a homeware gift that was either platinum or platinum plated. The shop attendants looked at me like I had told them an asteroid was about to hit Melbourne. They chuckled, or actually kind of laughed at me, and said 'there is nothing in all of David Jones made of platinum'. Okay, fair enough. I left. I went to the block arcade. Again, the shop attendants said 'computer says no.' Instead they said, 'oh you are looking for overseas products, they aren't manufactured here'. When I showed them a website that the products were indeed manufactured in Maidstone, down the road, they looked shocked. That's okay. I told them no one in Melbourne really knows anything any more. A little frustrated by the gaslighting, I left. I went to Tiffanys. I was greeted by a fat Chinese woman. I could barely make out what she was saying. She asked if I was looking for jewelry or something else. I asked if there is anything else. Again, she laughed and said 'we don't have anything but jewellery'. I asked her why she asked then - it was a strange question. She then showed me some earrings and necklace. The necklace was $6,000 and the earrings $22,000. It was presented on a dirty black mat, she looked sloppy, and she was trying every hackneyed cliche 'oh, it's from our special collection, it's really popular, but there are almost none less'. It was kind of insulting on every level. If I'm going to spend $30k on jewellery, I don't want to buy it from McJewellry. Today represented all the things that make me weary - I was thinking I might rather be occupied by a foreign army, at least we could put up a fight, rather than the shocking third world mediocrity it has drifted in to.

@dieworkwear Men who looked good in suits … Cary Grant Gene Kelly Fred Astaire Frank Sinatra Roger Moore Men who looked good in anything … Paul Newman Robert Redford Steve McQueen Style not fashion.

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

@rhematt @SaraJade_13 @Richard_D_Boyle Coleman v Power (2004) Australian High Court.

@SaraJade_13 @Richard_D_Boyle He's an idiot and I don't condone his behaviour at all but this is firmly Cole v Power...

Police have asked this man to hand himself in. They are looking for him. Do you know who he is that the police know?.

@name1085 @dieworkwear Saville Row, with a master tailor.

@dieworkwear will donate to cats someday, but can i ask a question if i want to work with tailoring or leather goods (make my own), where’s a good place to start?

This is a beautiful garment. Let me show you what makes it special. 🧵

@dieworkwear I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a better styled jacket, it’s superb. Whoever had it made should love it.

“Starving” Palestinians in Gaza are storming soup kitchens. You’d think if they are “Starving” they’d be storming food stalls at the markets to get food too, wouldn’t you? I guess free is free and maybe not “starving”. Hungry yes! #gaza #GazaStarving #bbc #abc #nbc #aljazeea

Aid is being sold at markets in Gaza. Potatoes $25 per kilo, Formula $70 a tin. Clearly there are some Palestinians that are not starving and do not care about their fellow humans. #Gaza #GazaStarving #abc #bbc #nbc #aljazeera.
