hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Residents not revheads! Is it just me, having just moved back to Melbourne or is everybody else pissed off by the Grand Prix?

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Softball questions from Speers. But Dutton still comes across as someone who can’t make an argument. All he does is spout key words derived from focus groups. “Labor can’t manage money” etc. Give us a break! #insiders 040

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Trump has just banned pronouns from email signatures. An extremely stupid announcement. Whilst choice of pronouns is important for gender, diverse people, it’s enormously more important for people with non-European given names. But I guess Trump doesn’t believe that non Europeans deserve a job. 000
