“We are here to make sure Pauline Hanson knows that there are so many people in WA who reject her hate-filled & divisive brand” - her “Trump-style politics.”

But never mind, immediately after the NACC told Australians they weren't doing anything about one of the greatest acts of public maladministration in Australia's political history, they set off again on their travel adventures. In their second year of operation, the NACC racked up $1.4 million in travel costs, or $1,383,849 to be precise. In the annual report for that year, the NACC states that 'presentations' were still very big business - 138 of them, which is very exciting - and that a total of 557 separate trips were made that year. 1 conviction. Zero public hearings.

There will come a time, I believe, and it should be soon, when the world will - preferably under the authority of the United Nations - need to act militarily to protect Palestinians, Lebanese, and perhaps by then, Syrians and Egyptians - from the devastating war crimes of Israel.

Me and darling, now sadly departed, Betty Smout at the Pineapple Hotel for an @ausrepublic function a decade ago in Bris Vegas. After this photo was taken, she looked me in the eyes deeply and said: "You really are very good looking". (Poor thing, she hated wearing her glasses.)

Australian billionaires like Rinehart and Stokes are entitled to tell us what to think, said the AFR (28 May) afr.com/wealth/people/billio… - such as prejudicing the trial of alleged war criminals and promoting bigoted politicians (@ABCmediawatch 1 June: abc.net.au/mediawatch/episod…)

If you gad about and try to tell me a sauntering ambler is not an itinerant loafer and a less than peripatetic promenader, you're likely a lacksadaisical, traipsing layabout, dissolute dandy, meandering fop, and idle flaneur.
