Pleased to have learned from Ranald over lunch of his booklaunch plans, starting with the NPC. Tell you something else, absolute privilege to work for Ranald in The Age's glory days, not least because he was a publisher who actually liked journalists, heaven forbid.

Another day, another woman murdered by a violent man. How many more have to die before we start treating it like the emergency it is?

If he keeps saying things like that, it will become impossible for Canadians to pay for their own drinks in any bar in the democratic world.

Fool Barnaby says we could save money by abolishing the Dept of Climate Change & Energy- & then we could reverse recent changes to CGT & discretionary trusts. Pretty clear who ON represents! And it’s not the bulk of Australian people.😡

Kennedy is either a barefaced liar or deeply stupid. Perhaps both, but very certainly a malicious racist.

How misguided are government spending priorities when women’s refuges are consistently forced to turn away people in genuine need? Where is the media outrage over this disgraceful lack of funding? And is that lack of attention why politicians are similarly apathetic?
What drove the attack on Haines is not known. There is certainly rage and anger among people who feel powerless but few acknowledge that a great cause of feeling powerless is the imbalance between renters and landlords. An issue Labor governments have ignored.

Now, why would anyone heap cigars and champagne on an Israeli politician widely vilified? And transfer more than a million dollars in cash to his lawyer? Good Q @smh smh.com.au/world/middle-east…

Israel's election hardly less consequential in some ways for a diasporic Jewish community trapped between its loyalty to the Zionist project and disgust over what Israel has become under the Netanyahu regime. Gifted @nytimes

I cannot wrap my head around the endgame here. If you destroy the planet, crash the global economy, and leave ordinary people too broke to buy anything, what exactly are billionaires planning to do with all that money? Sit in underground bunkers staring at bank balances while the world falls apart? Wealth is only valuable when there's a functioning society around it. So what exactly are they trying to win?
