Friendly food specialist smoked meat aficionado. Reader. Award-winning alcohol ninja. I resent being called a lefty just because I don't want people to starve.

Twitter for me is like being in a pub with colleagues discussing economics and current events. It is fair, therefore, to assign to my interventions the same weight given to the musings of a drunken friend. Sometimes, a literally drunken friend as I shall to you.

Neanderthals made clothes and tools and carved symbols on cave walls. They cared for their young, old & weak and created shelters for them. Our neoliberals governments give tax cuts to billionaires, and neglect the young, old, weak and the homeless. Give me a Neanderthal any day.

CALLING ALL UNION THUGS. If you're a nurse, a firefighter, a tradie, a teacher, or someone who Dutton and Ley wouldn't wish to share a room with, pls feel free to express interest in me using your likeness for a piece to honour you. Middle aged women to the front.

Look at Pyne. Back on the ABC, job straight out of government with a company getting a major contract he was involved in. Then lobbying for areas directly related to his portfolio. This is across the board for politicians and parties. Time to set up rules that have punishments.

After a solid week of Australian schooling for my kids, I can say that my second favourite thing about schools here is school uniforms. It's amazing to not have to worry about outfits. Of course, that's a distant second to the fact that they won't die in a shooting.

All the hardworking journos in Australia struggling to get by must be very happy to see News Corp hire an accused long-term paedophile facing an upcoming major court case over the rape of child who then committed suicide to write a column. Bravo legends 👏👏👏

“Now with a new government checking the books, with enquiries and royal commissions in the offing, the Morrison carcass is not yet picked clean. I am anticipating further material. I wonder what Jesus is telling him now.” Great yarn from

We recently saw credible calculations from an AUS scientist showing excess deaths are +13% on pre-pandemic levels, with many likely to be ppl dying months after having #COVID19. Today we saw British excess deaths are now +16% on pre-pandemic levels. Who’s reporting this?

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in
