I reckon Carney’s open, jovial, sincere care for his brand of politics is why he cuts through political irony and obfuscation globally.

‘I’m not a regular mum, I’m a cool mum’ I think to myself as I yawn into my $16.50 pint of Carlton Draught, waiting for the Canadian jazz fusion band to come on stage

The NACC's view here is even funnier when you consider it's about a bloke who secretly appointed himself to multiple roles and thought no-one would find out.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an
"Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

I have many, many favourite Kudelka cartoons but this, from 2011, is possibly one of the best Aus pol cartoons ever drawn.

Scene is Julia Gillard and Chris Bowen (then Min for Immigration) in a lighthouse with "Light on the Hill: written under the bulb.
Gillard is turning the light off, saying 'It was attracting the boats"

Took a slight* detour home to Canberra from Jindabyne to visit the thermal pool at Yarrangobilly Caves. 100% worth the extra 3ish hours in the car.

Two green man made pools in the middle of bushland. Photo taken from a distance from the track down a steep hill to the pools.

Thank goodness, the three missing people have been found safe. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Screenshot from the Australian Guardian live blog:

Three people reported missing after house destroyed in bushfire have been found safe
Three people who were reported as missing have been found and are safe, the Victorian premier, Jacinta Allan, says.
• We are grateful for everyone for supporting those people, to keep them safe.
The premier is also providing an update on the man in his 60s who died near a fire ground after he was found in his vehicle.
• While his death is not directly related to the fires, the fact this death occurred in such close proximity to the fire ground means this is a community that is grieving and my thoughts are with his family and the broader community.
Allan, who says her own community has been told to evacuate, thanks those who have followed advice by emergency authorities saying that, as emergency warnings are issued, "communities did respond".
I know how hard it is to leave your home, not knowing when or what you will return to. It has saved lives. Again, I thank Victorians for following that advice.

Liking something ironically either makes fun of people who genuinely like that thing or permits you to shame yourself for liking it.

While banning the burqa might play with the Sky After Dark audience, it is miles from a broad concern among punters
