Just reading the paper and came across this.

There's probably some finely nuanced argument against some of it, but I'm about done with nuance right now, so it seems like a pretty good list to be going on with.

Welp. It's beer o'clock on a Friday, so that means it's time to crack open one of these excellent ones named after our former Prime Minister, the late Rt. Hon. Bob Hawke, who once sculled a yard of beer in a Guinness World Record time of 11 seconds while studying at Oxford in the 50s. A good man.

That was quite a week...

She's already the richest person in Australia and has bought the federal opposition. Now she wants them to turn their nonsense up to full so she can have free rein to get her greedy hands further into the till.

You know it's finally proper summer in Australia when there's on a Friday arvo.

It's Women's Big Bash League today, but any kind of cricket is my happy place 😊

Sometimes, I give the phishers points for novel efforts, but I almost feel insulted by this one.

It's not so much that, unlike this nonsense, the Australian Taxation Office typically tends to avoid using exclamation points in their missives, so it's something of a clue when there is one.

It's the laziness about the sender's address and the idiotic filename that "WillieHansonxx" wants me to click.
