The man on the left is Grant Howard. He is a real coal miner (photo SMH). The man on the right is pretending to be a coal miner. He is a Senator. Note that the real coal miner has no coal dust where he wears his mask while the pretend coal miner has soot all over his face.

Australian billionaire Bruce Gordon, who normally lives in Bermuda (because it's a tax haven), has been given an exemption by the ATO to live in Australia during the pandemic without paying tax.

Because it turns out that offshore tax havens have shitty healthcare systems, because ... people don't pay taxes.

The Australian War Memorial now needs to include our war crimes in its section on the Afghan war. It might be a good time for the AWM to talk about Australian crimes in previous wars, including the actions of colonists during the Australian Frontier wars en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aust…

Turns out I had erased from my memory Scott Morrison's habit of acknowledging the Australian Defence Force at the same time as his acknowledgement of country. It's hard to think how you could be more offensive in one paragraph.

ABC Comms hits back. And it's true there's some great upcoming talent here. Fantastic. But it's not really diversity in 'Super Wog' or 'Chopsticks or Fork' that I'm chasing. It's in the flagship, heavy hitting, political programs & at an editorial level x.com/ABCMediaComms/status/1…

Now that you want a new job, it's a green recovery and no net emissions, huh @MathiasCormann?
You and your party are climate vandals. You trashed a functional CO2 reduction scheme and any hope for a consensus route forward in our climate politics.

I hope you're never allowed to forget it Cormann. I hope the OECD see you for the charlatan you are. I hope your grandchildren find out what you didn't say when you had a chance to speak out. I hope they engrave "axe the tax" on your goddamn gravestone.

Can we all now agree that some of the people who predicted Trump winning the 2016 election might just have been stopped clocks?

These were not "heat of battle" errors of judgement, but rather cold-blooded and premeditated killings. My report (Annex A of the full report) draws a picture of a gradual erosion of standards over time resulting in a culture within which, ultimately, war crimes were tolerated.

How is this incompetent nincompoop still in charge of a Commonwealth department?

#QandA does little for its credibility when it gives a predator a platform on such an issue. No wonder the standards have plummeted within the political class when our own ABC promotes the abusers. Hamish should know better.

A college class had 2 teachers: one male and one female
At the end of the semester, the students scored the male higher on course evaluations, while the female got FIVE times as many negative reviews
There’s just one problem: They were the SAME person.

A good time to remind everyone that Trump never, really, had a "lead" in Pennsylvania. In fact, if anything, it was Biden who had an enormous lead heading into election day. It was just the GOP PA legislature wouldn't allow those early mail ballots to be counted until now.
