As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

So a government can break promises & lie, over a decade, violate one of the main requirements of offsets, additionality, & then practice extortion to deliver a national park, that the public will still end up paying most of the costs for, & it’s all sweet & the Greens are the real troublemakers. 😎

Don’t ask me. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Six frames. 1. Fellow with clipboard bails up woman passer-by, says, “Excuse me, I’m doing a short survey. Do you think Australia takes in too many immigrants?” 2. She says,”I don’t know. I mean, are we talking about the immigrants who look after my mother in the aged care home?” 3. She continues: “Or the ones who come here to pick fruit for low wages so we have affordable fresh produce?” 4. “Or the ones working in construction to build our housing and infrastructure?” 5. “Or those training to be the medical specialists were short of?” 6. “I really don’t know. Maybe you could ask the government. They should know.”

Single frame. Left, people (a bloke in a red cap; a woman checking phone with security guard; a man with camera wearing News24 vest) entering a venue inside which are visible orange balloons, a man in an orange cap welcoming. Outside is a sign saying “ONE NATION PRESENTS PAULINE HANSON LIVE! -‘MY PLAN FOR USTRAYA’” and behind that a smaller sign saying “KEEP OUT: GUARDIAN, ABC, AGE.” To the right female reporter stands talking to camera saying, “Sadly, Mrs Hanson won’t give us access, so we can only assume that what she’s selling won’t stand up to scrutiny and is not in the public interest.”

Scene is a woman and child looking up at a street sign pointing in two directions, underneath which Pauline Hanson is standing with arms crossed.

The sign says (pointing left) Risk Your Life By Staying and to the right Risk Your Life by Leaving.

Sorry. My @smh cartoon.
“May 26 was National Sorry Day.” 8 frames, illustrating: “Sorry…we keep arresting and incarcerating you (kid getting arrested by 2cops); you keep inexplicably dying in our custody (cop outside cell, small black hand visible through door window); we destroyed your heritage again (energy corp guy blowing up red rocks) ; we’ve ignored so many recommendations (Bringing them Home report, 1997); we voted NO (referendum ballot paper) we didn’t just legislate a Voice to Parliament (Indigenous people locked out of parliament); a failed bomb attack against you is barely newsworthy (people fleeing a parcel going tick tick tick); the gap keeps widening (a tent at dusk, beside it silhouette of a person comforting another).
Then the line “Sorry that saying sorry is the least we can do.”
