"The nerds are furious that this jock has turned out to be just as capable at researching, dissecting, and distributing political messages as he was at folding an All Blacks front rower at Eden Park." @BetootaAdvocate https://t.co/jWp8hLxm1m
An incredibly gracious speech from Sussan Ley. Warm, genuine, caring as she announced her retirement.
She was never given a chance by the Liberals. The conservatives brutally undermined her from Day 1.
Ms Ley was the best they had and she deserved so much better. #auspol
@USEmbAustralia You’ve got to be fucking kidding me??? No visits to the US while the orange megalomaniac & his ICE goons are in charge. This authoritarian regime should be boycotted by all right-minded people.

Australian magpie* parents try to teach their baby to sing by demonstrating how, then they walk away all embarrassed by it's dismal efforts!

The babies do take quite a while to develop that singing voice though, for about a year they sound completely different to their parents, and they take just as long or longer to grow their black and white plumage so they stay with their parents for quite a while too compared to many other Australian bird species.
With record-breaking heat, Victoria has surpassed a 17-year old record for electricity demand this evening.

Powerful analysis by @SteveCannane.

I fully support @WilkieMP‘s call for a conscience vote on gambling reform.
The Xbench will keep pushing for the implementation of the Murphy review in full even of the major parties won’t.
@michaelsnape@OzKitsch In the days when aircon wasn’t ubiquitous, so it got hot inside. My 1970’s school got boiling hot in summer, and this is how most of the male teachers dressed!
