As an educator I can tell you that the kids are fine. Although the sense of entitlement without responsibility by some is both increasing and concerning.

Sorry BT. I know you’re desperate for a Victorian team to get in the GF but can you keep it out of the call on #7AFL

While I understand that Nick Daixos is a wonderful player of immense skill, it will be nice to have the AFL commentariat having to find other things to talk about for the remainder of the finals potentially refreshing. #AFL #BulldogsPies

2 of 2 Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide out from under with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across.

I just read Altered Carbon. 1 of 2. Highly relevant So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here - it is slow and cold, and it is theirs.

As an educator I was asked to predict the state of origin by my students. My response was the QLD would win the series otherwise they’d sook it up. After watching the QLD news (while visiting Mum), turns out I was right about 1 of the 2.

I've been impressed with the quality of the football during the World Cup. However the sheer volume of flopping and rolling around is disappointing. I never realised how many delicate shins there are. #WorldCup

My 82 year old mum watches a lot of Sky news. I spent a week with her after a cardiac event. All I heard was how bad the CGT changes are going to be, and we should be breaking out the Molotov cocktails. The effect that Murdoch has had on the planet cannot be underestimated.

I just heard a brilliant analogy of the Trump presidency. “It’s like voting for a guy who promises free pizza but when he turns up he robs your house, eats the pizza and demands a 5 star rating on yelp”.

I know he’s buggered. It’s hard work scuppering The Voice referendum, actively bringing down the 1st female Lib leader, walking away from net zero, being pro mining and fracking (against farmers wishes). The only positive was you kept Barnaby out of the job. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Problem is that the voters of this country disagreed. Keep throwing the toys out of the cot. This is really showing how irrelevant you and your mates are. I think the Libs should walk away and contest some of these seats in ‘28. They’d win a few and consign this mob to the dustbin of history.

Just heard an introduction to a BBC World News programme “ Is the Pope woke?”. Remember when being woke simply meant that you were slightly aware and concerned about the shit-show that was unfolding around you?

I can’t see a way out for anyone who opposes Trump. They’ll vote next year but won’t win because the seats are gerrymandered even more. They may protest, but ICE and troops will be deployed. I’m sorry but it may take a lot of blood to change this outcome. When 40% don’t vote this seems inevitable.

The Trump administration's motto seems to be that anyone who contradicts them will be called names. This highlights the immaturity of this government. I'd like to say Levitt needs counselling, but to be honest, I think an exorcism would be better. Don't know how those crosses don't burn her.

Honestly if the influence of Murdoch was 1/10th of what some think it is now, the Coalition should have 90+ seats in parliament, not the current arrangement. It’s all piss and wind with a side of hatred.
