A man living nearby has a ferocious, explosive temper. It has only emerged in the past three months. Absolutely volcanic. I hope whoever is on the ‘receiving’ end is safe.

#ICAC dunno why, but the more this Maheswaran fella squints & frowns, the less convincing he is IMHO. he shoots quick glances to the Commissioner to see if Gleeson is watching, to see if Gleeson will be convinced by eye contact. Of course, tho, body language doesn't count in this forum...

#ICAC just sayin' - but - after this, after the final report, after everything has been gone through - in what universe, what state of Australia, what regulator's imagination, would this Mr Maheswaran retain a practising certificate as a lawyer? hmm, let's watch that space...

#ICAC so this Maheswaran character is giving me big irrits. As my mum would say, a bit up himself...no? & why don't I believe him either? See, er, I don't get it. I must be a moron. Or it's a stream of slippery eels in this series of hearings.

to suggest the 'marketplace of ideas' will always win out is a patently ludicrous fantasy. it's what leader writers, still dreaming of their days undergraduate philosophy classes, resort to when they haven't got an actual argument. it is, indeed, a wildly weird, overblown, and fatuous leader IMHO

On 26 Jan 1788 the British invaded lands of a couple of First Nations. There's over 300 Nations on this continent, so 100s of invasions occurred over many decades. There were Martu people in 1964 who'd never heard of white people. Invasion was not a single day. Colonisation is not a single event
