This evening, due to the temporary absence of the Governor-General from Australia, the Governor became Administrator of the Commonwealth of Australia. The Commonwealth Standard will fly at full mast at the gates of Government House during this time.
What sort of thing did Australians expect to find in England? 🌏

Woke up this morning to find that the new prime minister of Australia had quoted my lyrics in his first press conference: “Just because you’re going forwards, doesn’t mean I’m going backwards”. Here’s my response to that welcome news.
Lovely to see Andrew Probyn so beautifully eulogising Scott Morrison for him & just stopping short of weeping.

History will remember Scott Morrison as the vicious divisive failure of a leader he was.
Not sure what he saw from his privileged position.
This entire project has been funded and powered by fantastic members of the public who refuse to look the other way and are willing to do something about making things better for everyone. A huge shout out to everyone who made this paper and its delivery possible.
Interesting that @ScottMorrisonMP nominated Snowy 2.0 as his major achievement when Leigh Sales asked what does Aust have to show for all the spending…His party voted to sell Snowy Hydro to foreign interests.The sale was prevented by the Independents Voices.Vale Peter Andren.
An absolutely perfect "calling to account" of @JoshFrydenberg by @LaTrioli for Frydenberg's cheap, stupid, integrity-deficient stunt of involving an 87-year-old woman as his back-up chorus against his immensely intelligent, decent, worthy opponent in #Kooyong , @Mon4Kooyong.
