How could John Farnham be even more of a legend than he already is? By doing this 👇- “gifting” his Voice to The Voice
So proud to have even a small role in this historic moment

Pls RT THE SHIT OUT OF THIS ad as buying TV spots is very 💵🫰

Patrick Dodson’s older sister saw their mother chained to a tree back in the old mission days. Has he ever spoken of “maintaining the rage”? Compare his civility with Howard’s, his stature as a leader & statesman. One man is so much greater.

When Annabelle is good she’s very very good.

Finally worked out what's been bugging me about the World Cup. Sat down to write and this came pouring out in about 45min.

Supermarket prices, mortgages and the cost of living are forcing many Australians into hardship and despair. In these circumstances, some say the 2023 Referendum is a side show. But good character and fairness more than ever shows in tough times. In this period of economic difficulty, Australians will show themselves and the world that they are tough fair and good by voting yes. Over hundreds of years in the future the successful 2023 Referendum will be one of this countries greatest triumphs. Please repost this if you think this is true!

Barnaby Joyce racked up $675K in expenses in 3 weeks as drought envoy. He says he sent texts to PM Scott Morrison who blocks FOI requests & refuses to release phone records. Retweet if you want a forensic audit & a police investigation with all documents published. #auspol #NACC

Historical stereotype of a Queensland cop is a bloke not too bright, a bit of a thug, and not averse to a bit of money-making on the side. A bit of a PR challenge in short.

[Nyadol (nyadolnyuon on Threads) Nyuon OAM @NyadolNyuon]

A good man doesn't need as much PR as Peter Dutton.

Every few months we get a new reiteration of: "who is Peter Dutton?"

If you need to keep telling people how good you are after 20 years in public life, a large platform, and access to friendly media, maybe you are the problem.

[Scout @expenman]

Sounds like my kind of place if I can join. In the meantime I’m on Threads, reluctantly,(Zuck) but it’s not yet the place for breaking news. It’s a bit like Twitter, through a glass, darkly.

So you destroyed a service we valued and now try to sell us a pig in a poke?

[Linda Yaccarino @lindayaX]

There’s absolutely no limit to this transformation. X will be the platform that can deliver, well….everything. @elonmusk and I are looking forward to working with our teams and every single one of our partners to bring X to the world.

[Scout @expenman]

Curious case. I have no insights but wonder how someone went from standing for Labor values to punching down. Was it just money?

[Scout @expenman]

And his salary is almost certainly based on how much money he’s making for the company including from government.

[Scout @expenman]

Agree completely. Rick writes the in depth journalism I want to read. Don’t know how he does so much of it so well.

[Scout @expenman]

81 and my YES vote was never in doubt.

[Marieta van Bladeren🇿🇦🇦🇺 @marietvb]

@GavinWhite18 @Peter_Fitz Damn oldies🤦🏼‍♀️. I am 65 and definitely voting yes

RecycleSmart will take them if they operate in your area. https://t.co/LJDUaTpdUO

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Is there any way to recycle old CDs ?

[Scout @expenman]

I’m sure the Romans would have treated barbarians far worse.

[Ian Farquhar @ianbfarquhar]

A whole bunch of American and UK blue ticks claiming 5 years is too much for this.

I’d say he got off lightly.

[Scout @expenman]

I’m really tired of hearing about Linda Reynolds feels.

[Not Aldous @not_aldous]

Apart from neatly summarising the vile human who is @lindareynoldswa, this gives perspective to the fact we need to demolish #APH and start all over again. What a joke Aussie politics is. #auspol

Linda Reynolds feels defamed (again) via @crikey_news https://t.co/rGcd310R6S

Would rather not fall into the clutches of Meta so keen to see what Dorsey does with BlueSky.

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

Anyone on it? What is Threads like? And do they have anything in place to keep the complete nutters out?

[Scout @expenman]

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK As old democratic norms seem flaccid eg long established 2 party systems, have you considered the rise of independents (so called ‘teals’) in Australia ie the ‘kitchen table’ model of political engagement, admittedly helped by our preferential voting?

[Scout @expenman]

It seems #GladysBerejiklian is not going to trial but if she did I doubt that ‘I had a dodgy boyfriend’ would be adequate defence.
