One of my favourite politicians, Natasha Stott Despoja got a gong in the King’s birthday honours list. Well deserved, not only for her political life but also for what she has done since. She got the top award: the Companion of the Order of Australia (AC). That’s it, that’s the post.

I just briefly watched the Australian Parliament on YouTube. The execrable Ted O’Brien is ranting in a display of performative nonsense. One can hope that the upcoming spill will at least yield the deputy leader of the opposition less crappy, though this is highly unlikely.

Friends: do you know a Megan, who recently hurt her ankle in a Trade Joe’s parking lot and had surgery? Because her pissy ginger boyfriend is talking shit about her at Denver airport and thousands of women on Threads from *at least four* continents are gonna hunt him into his last days. Pass it on.

With Hulk Hogan dying, Marjorie Taylor Greene has fewer options when it comes to sending people to pretend to be her at events she doesn't want to attend.

@ronnisalt.bsky.social a word to the wise. Amazon won’t sell me a copy of the Kindle version of your book, even though I have the free Kindle reader provided by Amazon. 1/2

Joke of the day: [Warning: this is a bit of a shaggy-dog joke, so make a coffee and kick back] Back in the days of the USSR, a loyal worker formed a desire to purchase a Moskva car, so he started saving every spare rouble, storing them in two old, large suitcases.

A question for the hive mind: I’ve got some new Marino wool socks, with a care instruction that says “warm wash“. Would it be okay to wash these in cold water without them shrinking TIA.

Listening to PM while driving, I heard Peter Dutton blame Trump‘s tariffs on Anthony Albanese. What a tumescent shit goblin. Is his go to position assuming we’re all fucking idiots?

Bloody Ch9 airhead commentator declaiming that we’ll se DeMinaur in “… a matter of minutes “ when the match in progress stands at 5-5 in the 4th set. So a minimum of 2 games + maybe a tiebreaker + maybe a 5th set. Bloody idiot.

Anthony Albanese has called for fixed four year terms. Makes sense to me. If you agree, RT. Disagree, "like"? #auspol

Good morning all. It’s 6:45 am here in (soon to be very) sunny Adelaide. Heading for 37°C today. Cat woke me early for breakfast so I’m going to hang out the laundry, do the recycling and vegetate under the aircon while watching the cricket. Under a total fire ban here in the Adelaide Hills.

PSA: when preparing food you should always wash your hands prior to starting and after every toilet break, of course. IMPORTANT: if the food preparation involves chopping chilies, you should also wash your hands BEFORE each toilet break. You’ll remember I said this the first time you forget I did.

As the last Parliamentary sitting week of the year begins, it is still legal to lie in a political ad at a federal level. The ACT and SA have both shown it can be done. Add your name to the call for truth in political advertising laws before the next election: theaus.in/TIPApetition
