Good enough to captain the Wallabies, not good enough for the Parliamentary Sports Club. The reason (justifiable click bait) will shock you…

Why I've been banned from playing parliamentary sport...

The booing was deafening. Look at his face.
Morgan J. Freeman@mjfree
Pls don’t share this video of Trump being booed!!!

From Jan 2025, I could be sued for suggesting in any news article that the Y.M.C.A. is a gay anthem - by the co-writer of the song, who'll perform it at Trump's inauguration this month.

@Craig_Foster I read this article too and could not believe that the government fought this basic human right - it is despicable
English

Is this actually a thing?
In Australia?
You’re telling me that a government is arguing against providing clean drinking water, a basic human right and the absolute minimum expectation of any authority, anywhere, certainly one that has control of public funds.
Housing, clean water so as not to die of thirst or from water-borne disease, or to drink uranium, enough to eat, particularly for kids.
These are the basics that government in Australia is duty-bound to provide, as rightly ruled by the court.
Otherwise, move on and let someone else do the job properly.
Honestly.

a royal commission into australia’s shameful activities in east timor is well overdue.
Rex Patrick@MrRexPatrick
Howard has learnt nothing. He still tries to justify immoral spying on a friendly neighbour, Timor, as ‘in the national interest’. That’s false. It was in Woodside’s interest and it poisoned relations with Dili for over a decade. Dumb and shameful! #auspol afr.com/politics/feder…

Did you know that the founder of Sydney University had a false identity?
Genuinely, one of my favourite moments from #StuffTheBritishStole this year.
Charles Nicholson is one of the founding fathers of Australia’s oldest university. Just one problem: There is no Charles Nicholson…
