@ArifSaba Congratulations Arif!

@mareeep It surprised me from the start that it ever had free coffee. Now seems like a brief interval of simple hospitality and everyday humanity.

@GeoffPolHist The recent drop in the new government’s drop in popularity probably has most to do with inflation and the Social Democrats presenting as more reliable.

@GeoffPolHist I’d say the cordon sanitaire was counterproductive over the last fifteen years. SD used it to reinforce their self-image as disruptive challengers of the status quo.

@GeoffPolHist Any updates? “Inappropriate leadership” = bullying? Some other form of scandal?

[Andrew Vandenberg @avandenberg3]

@SbcsbcC Oh ok, that’s good. ID problems are much more complicated.

[Andrew Vandenberg @avandenberg3]

@SbcsbcC If it is any consolation, I had extensive troubles with MyGov, ME Bank and Telstra when I was in Sweden during the first half of the year. No doubt living in a poor country adds extra layers but the scammers have made them obsessive compulsive about ID.

@CarlyGordyn Congratulations Carly! Fantastic photos. Great story.

@JABourdouvalis @SSlaughter70 @POLIS_Deakin For me the ceremony felt more important than I expected. It is fun to mark the turning point with everyone. Wish I could’ve been there in person.

[Andrew Vandenberg @avandenberg3]

@GeoffPolHist Did actually laugh out loud.

@GeoffPolHist @Dr_L_Edwards I’d replace NSMs as a form of socialism with “Left Populism” - a la Syriza, Podemos, and the pink wave in Sth Am.

@thebalitimes The article says one PCR test before travel and another just after arrival. Expensive but OK.

@GeoffPolHist Complete with a south-west swell and a Lilliputian right-hander.

@tori_teaches LIONS is ok but I think ADIEU has a lower Scrabble score (more common letters) and you get more clues about the vowels.

@GeoffPolHist Mmm… Bob Carr was probably too young then. Neville Wran is about the right age but would’ve been described as an Arts-Law graduate.

@GeoffPolHist Does sound pretty interesting. I read a review by a Swedish theologian. Not surprisingly she was very critical of his shallow critique of theology. More interesting was her criticism that he cites almost no female authors.
