There were plenty of people having a crack at @zdaniel for not conceding Goldstein at the weekend. She is now 401 behind Tim Wilson after starting the day 660 behind. There’s 1400 votes left

Just in case you see the fake one around these parts…

Remember, there’s only one Niki.

Fed pol reporters everywhere are drafting their resignation letters this week after "just getting through the election" 👀

Official endorsement from the wife.

A message from Kirilly Dutton:

Above all else, Peter is a listener. Whether he is with family, friends, residents in Dickson, or the many Australians he meets as a parliamentarian, he is attentive and curious.

He isn’t one of those politicians who speaks over people or tells people how it is. He asks questions. He wants to hear other people’s stories and perspectives. And that’s what makes him attuned to the views and values of everyday Australians.

He started and ran a successful business. He has been an Assistant Treasurer. He knows what makes the economy tick. He has been part of Coalition governments that have cleaned up the economic mess they have inherited. And he will do it again.

Peter has held some of the toughest jobs in government as Home Affairs and Defence Minister.

He has made difficult but necessary decisions in our nation’s best interests.

Australians respect his strength of character. They know he is man who can bring certainty for our country amidst uncertain times. And while he is firm, he is fair and compassionate too.

From his time as a police officer through to today, he is driven by a desire to protect others and a clear sense of morality. He knows there is right and wrong, and good and evil, in the world.

Despite his roles and workload, he has always been a wonderful husband and a dedicated and present father to his children.

He has always prioritised time with myself and the kids and has endless time for his extended family – especially his nieces and nephews.

Peter is the prime minister we need for our times.

Across Australia education ministers and leaders are making subtle but important changes to the education narrative in our nation.

Thanks @AlexCrowe12 for shining some light on the most ambitious reforms to initial teacher education in decades. #AusPol #SpringSt

Law experts say Coalition gas plan is likely unconstitutional.

“ As we spend time on our screens, we’re abandoning a value that used to be pretty central to our culture — the idea that you should work hard to improve your capacity for wisdom and judgment all the days of your life.”https://t.co/1MGpNzlgj2 via @NYTOpinion

[Nigella Lawson @Nigella_Lawson]

If I could read Helen Garner all day every day, I’d regard it as a life well-lived. I revere all her writing, but it’s her non-fiction I return to most and, to distil it further, for me it’s her diaries that show her to be the absolute killer writer that she is. I think it was speaking of Elizabeth Strout that Hilary Mantel said she had a prose style of such lucidity it was a moral virtue in itself, and that’s exactly how I feel about Garner. All three diaries are now available in the UK in a single volume (they’re actually published here tomorrow, the 13th, by @wnbooks) and in them is revealed, in sometimes agonising detail, the life of a writer, of a woman, of a person so vividly engaged with both the everyday and moral struggle of just being in the world. Her gift simply for paying attention is – to use a horribly blurby word – just luminous. She may not be as widely read here as she is in her native Australia, but she bloody well should be!

@Quagslime @Sahar_A_Writes The vetting is dependent on the individual declaring any conflict of interest. The TV producers are not running background checks on every audience member.

After years of reporting on the appalling human rights abuses of the Assad regime, I went inside the notorious Sednaya prison in Damascus today. #Syria #Damascus

@IHPvicInc @BradBattinMP Thanks! I'll check it out.

@maxwalden_ Congrats, Max!

The University of Melbourne tracked students who staged a pro-Palestinian sit-in at a campus building, capturing CCTV footage and Wi-Fi location data that it will use as evidence in misconduct trials due to start this week.

I don't live in Melbourne or play badminton. But join me in writing to Banyule council to support this planned badminton centre because of these insane objections.

Badminton causes graffiti, "disruptive car meet-ups", smoking, litter and danger to children?
