Dutton has the worldview of a Queensland cop, someone once wrote. We should take that seriously via @crikey_news

Peter Dutton wasn’t party to any of this debauchery of Queensland Police under the reign of Joh Bjelke-Petersen. But he's every inch a product of the culture and politics of the time.

Tasmania’s waters are being destroyed by toxic salmon farming, yet Peter Dutton wants laws to protect this destructive industry. Tasmanians are demanding action to save marine life, not sell it out to foreign-owned giants like JBS. #politas

He’s turning it off. Expert advice is that it’s the only way to keep teens off social media. RIP NBN.

I love that Zuckerberg just came out and said people abandoning his apps by the hundreds of thousands are "virtue signalers" and that they're going to start AI generating their own users. BOTS CAN'T BUY SERVICES FROM YOUR ADVERTISERS MARK.

Went with @JosephineCrow16 to North Sydney Oval for the Au-Eng women's ODI today. For its age and shortcomings, it's a lovely oval. And the women attract a friendly, happy fan base; with an emphatic Au win, it was a great day!

Put the dead into your poems without garbing them in your grief. Give them cake, put on their favorite music. Listen to their gossip. Let them tell you how they've learned to bake bread. To carve clarinet reeds. Let them comb your hair. Help them remember the color orange.

This is a real shame, that Melissa has stepped aside 'for the Labor Party' over pro Palestine comments.
