@gigsyoumissed I went! It was great! The band had to stop during the first song because the audience was so enthusiastic and jumping on stage! Incredibly energetic show. They were on fire.
@Rob62263@JohnBarronUSA@Redistrict@ABCTV This is the ABC we're talking about. 'Planet America' can't even afford a real fireplace, let alone a trip to the Promised Land. :)
@thedarkness No 'Bald'? No 'Sarah O'Sarah'? No 'Wheels of the Machine'? No 'It's Love Jim'?
Sorry, but as the great Hall & Oates said: I Can't Go for That. π
@pgodfreysmith@anewdemocracy@roweafr@FinancialReview I seem to recall Dutton defending Bill Leak's cartoon that depicted Same Sex Marriage advocates as jackbooted Nazis (which also came under fire from Jewish leaders). What's the difference here, then?
@pgodfreysmith@anewdemocracy@roweafr@FinancialReview The 'No' campaign has been called out because it was/is divisive and misrepresentative. Rowe's work does what cartoonists usually do: fight hyperbole with hyperbole. 'No' blocked all efforts to engage the centre through reasoned, principled argument. This is the result.
@thedarkness Why do promoters think a 'Spinal Tap' cover band on the bill would be fine for a 'Darkness' show? 'The Darkness' aren't some Brit joke version of 'Steel Panther': they're a legitimately progressive, creative outfit with a genuine voice. Love 'Spinal Tap', but this is just lame.
@mrtonymartin IN BREAKING NEWS, the 'No' campaign has breathlessly announced it will be using (former AFL player) Mark 'Jacko' Jackson's timeless classic "I'm an Individual" to spearhead their campaign:

@Michelle2404240 @marzephyr12@s_deery This has got to be one of the most pig-ignorant responses I've ever read on Twitter. We know you're just a mindless right-wing troll, but claiming Werner won 'by a landslide' when Labor didn't even run a candidate is utterly delusional.
On point then, I guess...
@SquigglyRick So typical. In the same vein, Keith Wolahan is receiving positive press today for his Robodebt remarks - even as he "emphasised the importance of encouraging people to get jobs and limiting welfare spending..."
We all know what that means. These people have no shame whatsoever.
@markhumphries Thank you for this, Mark. Articles, advertisements, TV shows and a million other cultural markers such as this gleefully encourage the selling of my future out from underneath me. That I'll never own a home is now increasingly sold to me as just the natural order of things...
@belinduhpyne Never underestimate the venality of the average Australian. The housing crisis is a telling barometer of how little the majority care for the welfare of their fellow Australians; Shorten's promise to end negative gearing was all they needed to vote for the Coalition.
@colonelhogans@sarahinthesen8 The problem is that even calling out the idiocy is part of the far-right playbook: in refuting utter stupidity, one still has to go about doing so on the public record, thereby fuelling the circulation of idiocy further whilst attempting to combat it.
@StephenMerchant Intelligent people know that 'The Office' will ALWAYS be the product of Gervais & Merchant, but it pisses me right off when I hear Gervais introduced everywhere as 'Creator of The Office'. And, let's be honest: Ricky doesn't do enough to clarify things when that happens.
@Swampyagain @strangerous10 I'll feel like that when the (admittedly unlikely) sight of Morrison in handcuffs is plastered across the Australian media... ;)
