The answer to my question “#Abla, do you want to come out for a wee?” is “No, but you can come down here & give me a cuddle”

Massive landmark win for Antoinette Lattouf against the ABC, huge precedent for political opinion protection. Court finds she was sacked for her opinion opposing Israel's military campaign in Gaza. Banner day for workplace rights.

This is getting a bit sad now. AFR clutching at very thin straws Reminder, currently 80,000 people are affected. One estimate is that just 3.5% of all people currently employed would be affected in the future (if the threshold doesn't change for 30 years)

Good that at least one minister in the Albanese government is worried about US-style #inequality. So here’s a start: #RaiseTheRate and tax wealth properly. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Andrew Leigh says Australia one generation from ‘US-style inequality’ as Productivity Commission targets corporate tax
Of all Andrew Leigh’s many portfolios, he considers productivity the most important. But can the government’s reforms bear fruit by the next election?

Spot on by Alan Kohler: ‘Sussan Ley, must choose between two ways to cement the party's doom: either keep the Coalition together without an electable climate policy, or have one and go it alone, without the Nationals.’ Climate is at the heart of the Liberals’ demise. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
abc.net.au
Sussan Ley has a dilemma: forfeit an electable climate policy or abandon the Nationals
It does not look feasible for a political party to succeed in Australia without a credible commitment to reducing carbon emissions.

HUSIC: we've had bare faced ambition and a Deputy Prime Minister wield a factional club to reshape the ministry. I think people when they look at a Deputy Prime Minister, they expect to see a statesman, not a factional assassin. #insiders

Was just over on Twitter for the first time in two years encouraging peeps to come over to BlueSky and saw someone posting this - a despicable fear campaign against Mary Doyle is Aston! Voters rejected this repulsive, divisive fear mongering.

I don't think there can be the slightest doubt that Australians dodged a giant bullet at the election. The good news is that the results show a very large number of Aussies recognised the danger & responded accordingly. It's also yet another vindication of our compulsory voting system. #auspol

COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. If you don't want to see the face of Tim Wilson on a tediously regular basis over the next three years, it would be wise to steer well clear of the ABC's Afternoon Briefing in particular and to a marginally lesser degree, Q&A, 7:30 and Insiders.

Adam Bandt and Max School Prefect Maher, dug their own political graves. Blaming the voting system or who gave who preferences is pure desperation, denial and desperation. They both opposed Labors housing policies right up till last November. Bandt wanted to damage Labor. It failed…..bad!

Lesson for the Liberals: do the opposite of what Peta Credlin says
Victoria was fertile ground for a coherent and considered Coalition pitch to voters. Driving a truck with Jacinta Allan’s face plastered on it wasn’t it.

Jacinta Price is defecting from the Nationals to the Liberals. She reckons the Libs are her “natural home” 🙄 More like propping up the shambolic numbers & creating more relevance for herself- as usual. ..bec it is all abt the grift & what Price can get out of it. It’s all abt her & her notoriety
