Vale Sir Anthony Mason. I disagree (strongly) with Kerr's sacking of Whitlam but the advice provided to him by Mason (and ignored) was legally correct. His presiding over the Mabo decision was a moment in Australian law, politics and society that should never be underestimated.

I steer clear of most news but the news today about Magda Szubanski being in remission is about the best news I have heard in YONKS. I hope that remission remains for years to come!

The Alcaraz/Zverev match tonight was one of the best tennis matches I've seen. Every game went the distance. I always feel really lucky to witness sport at that level every so often. #AustralianOpen #AO #tennis

That's devastating news. Before the injury the other night, he was playing beautifully.

Something I never thought I'd think lest say: I have to wonder if a Pre$ident V@nce might be the lesser of the evils at this point? Horrific option, but the current situation is..... I just don't know anymore.

If you're a fan of The West Wing, or a fan of Martin Sheen (and you really MUST be a Martin Sheen fan), check out his new podcast. He's going to talk about his life and inspiration as an actor and activist. The first episode features his reading of many poems. It's 30 minutes of bliss.

My concern about calls for the QLD parliament to call an election is QLD would reelect the LNP. Queenslanders have not yet been sufficiently stung by this lot of charlatans.

Just saw Mumford and Sons in Montreal and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen…and I’ve seen a lot. From start to finish it was sensational. If you can get to a show, do it!

Just watched Stephen Sanchez open for Mumford and Sons in Montreal and I’d go see him play anywhere - slayed the place. Absolutely sensational!

I just had to get an International Drivers Permit so I can drive in Canada and the process appears to not have changed since the 1970s. Paper glue on photo and all. Insane that in 2025 this is even necessary (not by the government, by insurers!)

Always saddens me to think of the hundreds of thousands of people who died fighting N@zi$ in WW2, only to have I$r@el align with those N@zi$, instead of their neighbouring Palestinians, less than a lifetime later.

First big bike ride for me today - 31kms around Lake Burley Griffin (including to/from home). That's my longest ride ever. I can barely walk but gosh it felt good and it's such a beautiful city to ride in!

It is ever so frustrating that supposed academic institutions, including one I was employed by (two decades ago) and another where I got a law degree, can think that being Jewish is the same as being Zi*nist, and therefore any critique of Zi*nism is anti-semitic. (1/7)

Very sad news. Father Riley was one of the people who gave me hope that the true spirit of Catholicism - charity, service to others and dignity in humanity - was not completely lost.

Gotta say, watching two friends commence their parliamentary careers today - one in the Senate, one in the HoR - is very exciting. #auspol

I'll be in Canada for two months later this year and have shouted myself a ticket and two day trip to Montreal to see Mumford and Sons. I am ridiculously excited - love that band and have never been to Montreal.

Getting this to just 10 was brutal.

I created a #HottestAussie100 list and this far with a HARD CULL it's at 42 songs. To get it to 10? I don't know if I can.

I tell you, I might be too old to paint rooms and build furniture when I move. My body feels abut 200 years old after this week. On the bright side, it's coming together, the walls look gorgeous and tonight should* be the last night in the spare bed before our new bed arrives.

Settled in Canberra today. One pug absolutely loving it, the other absolutely not. Having a camping night tonight- hoping belongings arrive tomorrow!

@australianlabor.bsky.social as a former candidate and member, I am mortified by our capitulation to a bombing that has no grounding in intelligence and which aligns us to a corrupt American regime. You must rethink this and act with integrity and decency here - innocent lives depend on it.

020

Kass @kassjane.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Being horrified and opposed to the bombing of Iran is not a show of support for its fundamentalist regime. It's dismay that *another* fundamentalist regime (USA) has landed those bombs without reason and on behalf of yet **another** fundamentalist regime (Israel).

Federal Labor need to grow a fucking spine and denunce Trump and his bullshit NOW.

Kass @kassjane.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

There is literally no excuse for anyone who is not American to be in America anymore. It's a warzone, it's not safe for anyone to be there and they don't deserve tourist dollars. Boycott the place.

One thing we need to be really mindful of is that, if Healthscope Hospitals do collapse, amongst other losses, there will be hundreds less mental health beds available, particularly in Victoria and NSW. Those losses WILL cost lives.

I've spent 2 days driving to CBR to look at properties. One with no inspection this weekend has been on the market for a while. Text agent to ask if I could arrange something. They are "training" and not available until mid next week. "Try next Saturday". Um, no. Feel sorry for the vendors.

Just ICYMI, I'm strongly anti violence and anti guns. But the US Constitution has a right to bear arms specifically to raise an army against tyrannical government, and if this aint that, then that constitution isnt worth the parchment its written on. That said, the US is getting what it voted for. 🤦‍♀️

Kass @kassjane.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

So when do Americans start exercising their Second Amendment rights to bear arms and rise up against a tyrannical government? Asking for the rest of the world.

So the ticketing for the first half of the #AFL season has, as ever, been a clusterf*ck. WHEN will they learn to stagger this stuff?? FINALLY I got my ticket for the @westernbulldogs.bsky.social 100th Anniversary match but it took 90 minutes to get the website working properly.

As Labor candidate for Redcliffe in last year's election, I had a DoH commitment to reopen an office in Redcliffe. We opened over 100 new social housing units in 2024 alone and there's more to come which the LNP will take credit for :( www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... 1/8

After a 17months from hell, suffering burnout, depression and feeling really low, all I have looked forward to this week is the start of preseason games. I didn’t get to the footy at all in ‘24 so I’m absolutely keen. C’mon Doggies!! @westernbulldogs.bsky.social
