This is rare: a mainstream journo - an ex-Murdoch one at that - acknowledging that "inequality and concentrated wealth" may be an issue for voters. Instead of the usual 'cost-of-living crisis' euphemism. If Shoebridge is having that impact already, it's a useful start to his leadership. #auspol

Born 2 October 1945, Don McLean is best known for his 1971 hit song "American Pie", an eight-and-a-half-minute folk rock "cultural touchstone" about the death of Buddy Holly and the loss of innocence of the early rock and roll generation. Don is 81 today! #DonMcLean

"he came straight out of the blocks with over-the-top rhetoric...and a strident left-wing economic agenda." Shoebridge is labelled "over-the-top", "strident" and "radical" because he's a challenge to the cosy toxic centrist neoliberal consensus of Australia's political and media class. #auspol

House prices falling by a percentage not seen in 40 years does not mean house prices have fallen to affordable levels - it is just that we have seen them increase so much year on year, that falls seem significant BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE IT JUST MEANS THE HOUSING MARKET HAS BEEN BROKEN

I wasn't going to say anything at all, but a few lovely souls expressed concern when I stopped incessantly posting my rage, grief, work, bad humour and fluffy animals. 

I have just taken a smidgen of annual leave. It's been a while. And a crucial part of that actually helping me is being offline as much as (fucken) possible for a lil’ bit. The last few years have been… I dunno what the appropriate word is… let's just go with difficult. Hard. 

I'm not running away. Not retreating. Just breathing. Being invisible. Being human. I’d encourage everyone to do the same when and if the moment presents itself. The world is heavy, the fight is eternal, resistance is a collective effort, and these machines and platforms - as integral and powerful as they have become - feed on our souls. Please don't worry. Just having a moment. Thank you for caring xx

Wilson says Coalition would find savings by cutting NDIS, aged care, childcare

By Emily Kaine

Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says a Coalition government will seek to make savings by cutting back on NDIS, aged care and childcare, as he argues spending on the schemes is out of control.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese sets how many personal staff each member of Parliament gets -- letting him starve his rivals of resources and punishing those who quit the party. Senator Fatima Payman formed an unlikely alliance last week to call him out.

I knew I would be punished for crossing the floor. I didn’t expect my staff to be
Fatima Payman

I certainly raised a few eyebrows last week when I walked into the press pack with my biggest adversary, Queensland Senator Pauline Hanson, to stand on a unity ticket asking the Prime Minister to properly resource our parliamentary offices. I wish I didn’t have to resort to such a tactic, but I was out of options, and I knew this was a surefire way to get his attention.

The artist is Ed Sheeran, who is explaining his work to an attendee: "I choose to make art about things that aren't political." Every canvas on the walls of the gallery is blank.
