Crazy idea: Bruce Lehrmann is going through this self-immolation to guarantee he can never have a fair trial for his alleged crime. Expensive, sure, but better than jail ... #Lehrmann

@MFWitches Royalty always strikes me as a weird anachronism that shouldn’t have survived the Middle Ages - like witch burning.

@CroweDM Wow. The cynicism of No campaigners who use racist tactics and provocations and then feign outrage when they get called out for it. Marcia Langton is being Yassmin-d.

@historyrock_ Apples and oranges. To re-coin a song title.

@Brocklesnitch These Final Hours is a very Australian pre-apocalypse movie where everyone knows they only have 12 hours until the end. I really liked this one, it felt real - too real, sometimes - and was emotionally engaging.

@DavidPocock @tameimpala You served a tennis ball and Sky returned a shuttlecock. I reckon it’s your game.

@mjrowland68 The Daily Nail is an utterly cynical enterprise. Their MO is to publish the most offensive material they can find (look up what they did on Yassmin Abdel-Magied) and use words like ‘appalling’ and ‘offensive’ as the flimsiest cover for amplifying it.

@markhumphries @jonstewart When he's good, he's the best at this stuff.

@talwilkenfeld @Wayne_Shorter @herbiehancock @DerekAndSusan @RonCarterBass @jackdejohnette Sad to see him leave, but he certainly led a rich life. What a career! A phenomenal musician.

We all feel for these average punters at this difficult time.

[Peter Dutton @Hon_PeterDutton]

Walking to a TV interview this morning and average punters are telling me: 'don’t let them touch my superannuation'.

[David C @FloydsPink1]

@BernardZuel No 'plus one'?! Promoters have tightened up, it would seem.

[David C @FloydsPink1]

@theheraldsun OMG This is hyperventilating hyperbole even for you guys

[David C @FloydsPink1]

@AmyRemeikis Where’s your heart, Amy? Poor rich people.

[David C @FloydsPink1]

@SharazDavid Nothing shocks me any more about the Daily Mail. They're like an unfunny parody of tabloid 'journalism'.

[David C @FloydsPink1]

@samishah Oh but this weekend is the Multicultural festival so there's 2, and 300 000 people in a queue.

[David C @FloydsPink1]

@theheraldsun Has anyone asked God what he/she/they want? Surely it's his/her/their call?

[David C @FloydsPink1]

@AmyRemeikis @grhutchens In the ACT parking fines used to go up by CPI, probably still do - it’s like compound interest!

@AlboMP Onya Albo. A Yes vote will be a positive step forward for all Australians.

@MarkusMannheim @dfat Many years ago I had a bit to do with designing forms in local government, and it surprised me that we never tested them on actual people before putting them into use. I'm not saying DFAT does that - don't know - but it seems to be the default process.

Every ABC media release following criticism reads like an abusive husband justifying his behaviour
