@herdyshepherd1 Ethel is a bit of a bully but no match for her Tiny Tot trainer.

@tripplannermama @yesjimstheman Glover was a Royal Academician and a mature artist, before he emigrated to Van Dieman's Land, where he produced Arcadian views peopled by the Noble Savage.

His homestead has been recently restored in Deddington, Tasmania.

@RBJRON @NellShel @humphrey02 @TonyHWindsor @HonTonyAbbott MSM is Morrison Scomocentric Media parleying PMO talking points across the nation daily.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@iMusing Speers is running comms for the Morrison PMO... and a good reason why I no longer watch #Insiders with the arch apologist at the helm, taking balanced reporting to the gutter of partisanship.
A besmirched 20yr anniversary for what WAS an iconic ABC current affairs program RIP.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@MrDenmore Let's not forget Speers who has dragged #insiders to the partisan gutter of biased reporting as a Morrison gov apologist ad infinitum.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@barriecassidy Speers has offered a rabid alternative to balanced journalism after 20yrs of #insiders, today interviewing Albanese with degrading, repeated attempts at gotcha moments.
This unabashed Morrison gov apologist has trashed the program to being a partisan platform.

@CSMCVIC @Info_Aus @ACOSS @Terese_NCSMC @GoodAdvocacy @Anne_Ruston How is it during a Covid Pandemic that BANKS are reporting record profits?!

The answer is the Australian *artificial housing market* given #LNP government policy that supports NEGATIVE GEARING and HOUSING GRANTS that both inflate housing prices and rents.

LOW INCOME=HARDSHIP.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@CSMCVIC @Info_Aus @ACOSS @Terese_NCSMC @GoodAdvocacy @Anne_Ruston The #LNP government are impoverishing ppl on #jobseeker after removing the last $150 Covid Supplement. Now the base rate makes it difficult to pay basic expenses.
Housing prices, equity and rents are inflated, creating scarcity with a windfall for banks and investors.

@rwillingham My bet is a three-week lockdown for Melbourne and a reprieve for Regional Victoria next Monday.

@politicsabc @Info_Aus @MattDoran91 Murphy's puppetry performed again for Morrison's benefit, adding to his appalling partisan performance at the #agedcarerc

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@TheMuellerName @markgkenny We have further confirmation that PM Morrison is devoid of both insight and integrity.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@fluids_guru @RonniSalt Police Association is lobbying for a *mobile response* based on number plate recognition, rather than static checkpoints that encourages dissidents to use alternate routes.

@kumitaguchi @Info_Aus After #NaomiOsaka's admission of anxiety: it appears she was NOT adequately counselled after the 2019 US Open final, where she was bullied by a partisan crowd and faced appalling behaviour from entitled opponent Serena Williams.

Osaka's management and the #WTA both failed her.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@RonniSalt @BaxterPeterba Cases reported at Axedale near Bendigo and Cohuna on the Murray but no update on those from last week given Melbourne media focus.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@Martina @JoJoFromJerz Playing tennis and the media game are entwined at top levels with a marriage of marketing and sponsorship.
Sports psychologists and media coaches are part of the career deal too.
Let's hope Naomi gets the support needed to manage her anxiety and continue her sporting ambition.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@BajanMbaku @Lokihan3 @butterscotchx3 @WrittenByHanna @RacismDog Yes I know re response from her management and sponsors?!

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@BajanMbaku @Lokihan3 @butterscotchx3 @WrittenByHanna @RacismDog Surprised that Naomi Osaka and her management and sponsors as yet haven't addressed her admission of anxiety via social media.

Most successful athletes access psychologists and media coaches to optimise their personal development and marketing exposure.

[James Vereker @VerekerPhoto]

@herdyshepherd1 Australian political leadership is unremarkable like Boris Johnson for its *entitled mediocrities* bungling Covid responses and shamelessly rorting taxpayer funds to donors.

As an old *farm boy* looking over the parapet of privilege, the dirt beneath my feet is solid ground.

@Susan29191404 @deemadigan @cheryl_kernot Encouraged to handout more $billions to Aged Care and private OWNERS with no strings attached and still no mandated staffing ratios.

@Jraynerwastaken @MrDenmore @broomstick33 The personal and financial exposure of a Porter court case would be ruinous and not an election prelude Morrison will chance with a slim minority.

Electoral Housekeeping 101.

@Olfella @Milliganreports @4corners Just more HOUSEKEEPING for Morrison as the election is nigh.
