Hmm 🤔

For a thing that the last 'conservative' government was deadset against and argued (more than a little anxiously) that it wasn't needed, this new National Anti-Corruption Commission sure seems pretty necessary to me 🤷‍♂️

I love that this story keeps on running, in essentially the textbook example of the Streisand effect.

Not only do the excellent likenesses that she so desperately wanted to suppress get circulated yet again, but more people get to see Gina Rinehardt for the almost-and-wannabe-even-more-oligarch that she is.

IMHO, this is the best documentary-style film I’ve ever seen.

I’ve seen it many times in the course of writing a university paper on it, and now it’s on TV and I can’t look away.

I’ve lived in Dee Why for more than a quarter of a century and, while a fair few things have changed here, I have never seen the beach erode away so much that rocks are exposed at the base of those stairs, and the waves crash up against them at high tide. There’s always been at least 5-10 metres of sand there.

It’s somewhat troubling.

At the same time yesterday afternoon, it was sunny and about 27ºC here.

That's normal. This is weird:

The ups and downs of supermarket prices: looks like the secret is out - Fiona Katauskas:

Well, well, well. A government regulator finally doing some actual regulating, eh?

Wonders will never cease.

I’m so glad it’s summer because cricket. ❤️
