Maybe Labor should not put up gas lobbyists as candidates? Just throwing out seeds here, maybe some might take root….

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Puzzled by people who want to be readers but don't like reading. But there do seem to be many people who see novels (and films) solely as plot-delivery mechanisms and everything else as extraneous. Buddy, a lot of novels don't even HAVE plots

Instead of waiting until 2027 for "advice", maybe Labor could follow advice from its own 2020 Senate report that rejected the anti-intellectual & inequitable scheme as creating an "Americanised education system characterised by high levels of private debt". And get rid of it. As promised. In 2022.

In my brief and ill-advised stint as an ABC journo, Rebel News was among a group that mobbed me and other staff and taunted us at a 2021 anti-vaxxer rally. It was treated as a safety incident and IIRC we adopted new policies in response. Five years later, a star radio host is giving them comment.

They can’t point to a single instance of antisemitism by an arts organisation, while there are dozens of cases where official pressure has silenced pro-Palestinian voices. This is pure political intimidation by the govt and its official pro-Israel lobbyist.
