Throwback photo, 40 years ago, 1985, when I co-managed a trashy gay bar on Oxford Street, Sydney. Exchange Hotel (now closed) , a beardless Brash with the beautiful Ginger Benson, barmaid to the Stars, enjoying a couple of late night staffies. We might have been trashy but we also had style!

Don’t be silly, he’s attending a diplomatic event. I think most Australians understand why a leader attends events like this.

I think one of the main reasons is he’s attending the inauguration of a leader of an independent nation where many if not most other leaders of nations are also attending. If Dutton had won a fortnight ago he would be there as well.

I’m one of those odd Australians who actually like sarsaparilla. Try it one day with a shot of bourbon.

‘Still counting while packing the car at Dan Murphy’s’ That’s two case of VB, a bottle of tequila, one scotch, pink gin for Jane, a couple of goon bags for Prue, and a bottle of Passion Pop for the hubby.

Most of the world’s leaders attend events such as this and many diplomatic meetings happen. This is important for our leader to attend. If he didn’t, the conservative media would say it’s a snub.

It seems the majority of Australians preferred to put the LNP in the bin.

I suffer from a condition where I metabolised electrolytes faster than the average population. I’ve had to supplement my sodium & potassium intake for over 35 years. This leads to chronic low blood pressure. The medical advice is “chose salty food & add salt”. I also drink lots of sports drinks.

I grew up in a violent household. I remember being fearful my father would kill my mother from about age five onwards until I finally left home at seventeen. It was a brutal way to grow up. I still suffer from anxiety to this day, now aged 70.

How preferences got the government the electorate preferred? There, fixed the headline.

And allowed to continue looking after his kids. Will they grow up resenting the man who killed their mother?

Grey-headed fruit bat (flying fox) heading out on a feeding run at the golden hour, early evening with a red sunset, Surry Hills, Sydney. Looks surreal in this light. #NaturePhotography

The last time I was in the emergency room at my local hospital, they told me I had acute angina … “well thanks for the compliment but I haven’t transitioned yet, I still have my penis!”

With all this talk of Dutton preferring Kirribilli over Canberra, I think Melbournites may feel they’re missing out. I think the prime minister should also have a Melbourne residence at their disposal - a modest two bedder in Moonee Ponds perhaps? #KirribilliPete #Auspol2025

I have to agree with Trump on the Heard Island tariffs, penguins can be such bastards. Tax the fuck out of them.

I’m guessing she preferred to listen to Angus ‘well done’ Taylor at the NPC! I hope the empty chair had some good talking points.

We lost our darling BabyCat last night. She was sick for a couple of days but I didn’t realise how sick she was. Found her this morning & had a cry. Maude seemed unperturbed that her nemesis wasn’t moving. Such is life (& death). Having a wake tonight. Rest my little tigress.

Dutton has given a commitment that should he win the election he would dump his electorate of Dickson and move to the Sydney Harbour mansion to be closer to his mate, Justin Hemmes.

‪I think Senator Hume should stick to podcasting about how to make a gin & tonic, one of hospitality’s more difficult cocktails. ‬That’s her skill level.

A lot of people think the invention of the wheel was a milestone in the history of early civilisations but the real game changer was actually the invention of the axle. With axles came carts & other transport vehicles, the wheel was pretty useless without the axle.

John Howard was wheeled out the other day for a comment on the upcoming election and he had a bruise on his face. There was speculation he had a fall or Jeanette had a pop at him but I think it was freezer burn when he was defrosted.

Remember when the Liberals’ idea of freedom of religion was snorting crystal meth off a rent boy’s buttocks in the parliamentary prayer room? Allegedly!

Throwback to when I ran trashy gay bars. Brash is the bloke on the right in glasses sans moustache. Guy on the left, was Chris Liston, my partner in crime, lover and co manager. We were a formidable hospitality team.

Conservatives only like free speech if you agree with them, if you don’t, it’s a ‘pile on’.

In savoury cooking, sweetness can be offset with salty/umami/sour. Soy sauce & lime, the perfect offset. I’m thinking lots a garlic, onions, ground cumin & pepper/chilli, I would love to try it with chicken skewers. It might not work but I think it’s a worthy experiment.

Jane, I’m despairing. I’m nearly 70 now, as my teenage rebellion, I drank American whiskey in front of my Scottish father. Now I have to decide on a new spirit of choice, after 50 years as a bourbon drinker, this is going to be tough.

Not the men I hang out with. I wonder what motivates such men. Are they also the kind of blokes that follow Andrew Tate?
