@PaulBongiorno Do you know what the CSG do, though/why they exist? It’s like saying there should be an inquiry into rotarians. We need a Royal Commission into why any community needs to look after its own security. That’s our failing as a society. Not an attack on Albo. Well predates him.

Nine out of ten leading cricket teams choose Collo: strong on Carse hat-tricks, and the causes of Carse hat-tricks

First Aust Test outside of Aust I’ve not attended since mid-2016… fairly confident Boland will complete this hat-trick. #WIvAUS

@leachitup @Richmond_FC Best Richmond game I’d been to, until 2017

Bandt’s misallocation of resources the funniest this town has seen since Hon. Sang Nguyen MLC used his annual office budget to buy tens of thousands of dollars worth of Arnott’s assorted creams, with staff spending much of the following year bartering for paper, stamps, toner

Projection: #Melbourne ALP gain from Green. Seat has been moved to expected win status.

(I tend to avoid categorically "calling" seats outside Tas when there's a lot going on but I project Bandt at 47.6 in the live count which is not recoverable.)

👇 coalition’s sole task in this campaign was a rote recitation of “ask yourself, are you better off”. But in the weeks prior to the campaign and during it, they’ve not been able to maintain message discipline for more than about an hour.

They should keep their name as Footscray.

Gulf of DPRK covers 70% of Earth’s surface according to recent geological study.

I’m not sure the “Am I so out of
Touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong” critique applies much here.

The specious political narrative of the Albanese government as ‘doing nothing’ undermines just how much this government has done. @Palaceletters #auspol #election2025

What do Ssydney and Marss have in common?

Shocked to learn Ley didn’t have the numberss

To plan and execute the firebombing of a childcare centre requires a depth of savagery that is difficult to imagine. Today, families will be having conversations about whether it’s safe to send their children to the places where they should be safest. Places of worship, homes and now pre-schools have all been targeted by domestic terrorists. Antisemitism consumes everything. It is the disease that is destroying our country. We need national cabinet to deal with what is a national emergency.

The wickets used for the first four Tests between Australia and India, in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne, received 'very good' ratings.

@GrayConnolly of all the things I’d expect you to tweet about consanguinity is actually fairly high on the list

@danbrettig hourly rate?

@graham_euan @BassiJustin if only former DFAT Secretaries/ONA D-Gs and current Go8 Chancellors had agency at either end of that langs qual demand equation. What is to be done?

[richmondist @andrew_porter]

Hey Scott, what did you do, nearly get a couple of hat-tricks or something?

[Ethan @ethanmeldrum_]

Scott Boland's most dismissed batters:

Joe Root (4/103 off 148)
Virat Kohli (4/32 off 98)
