I’ve known @CoryBooker since I was 19. For 30 years, he has been my big brother and my friend. He has been holding the floor in the US Senate for almost 14 hours. He has been holding the floor fighting for all of us. He has been holding the floor pushing back on the Trump and Musk attacks on our fundamental freedoms. He has been holding the floor fighting for federal workers, veterans and kids with disabilities. There is a saying: in the darkest nights we see our brightest stars.
For 30 years, Cory’s star has always glimmered brightly for me. I’m happy the rest of the country gets an opportunity to witness it today! Thank you my friend! We stand with you as you continue to hold the floor!
A photographer I follow on Instagram has put together that his bronzer use amps up when he’s stressed / close to an election and is tied to his days in the rise of reality tv, and it’s fascinating

Roy and HG are doing an Olympics pod for the ABC and I don’t know how they’re going to satirise that Opening Ceremony. It was like a Roy Slaven riff on France come to life.
If every single Biden appearance from now on is going to come under the microscope, we need to do the same with Trump. All the crazy stuff needs to get front page coverage - which doesn’t happen at present. All the lapses showing cognitive decline. All the threats to democracy.
I know people are angry about this for some reason, but I for one think we should make a tradition out of it. Governor-General’s spouses must all have a quirky trait and must impose that quirky trait on unsuspecting citizens at all official events.
Love to share the powerful opening sequence of the new film, ‘Not In My Name’, airing on @ABCTV on 5 May at 6.30pm on the Compass program.
It’s directed by the fantastic Brietta Hague.
It’s about Palestine, Gaza, critcal Judaism, my work and life et al.
I’m rapt to announce that the film will be available to watch online afterwards for both Australian and international audiences.
Stay tuned.
