Khawaja presents as a very principled and ethical man, who waited until his career was over and with a book to sell to bell the cat on sandpaper gate. MLK said it best “When principle is involved, be deaf to expediency.”

I have watched this documentary about 100 times - not sure if it’s streaming but if you can get your hands on it, recommend.
Election Eve 1992 -- 34 years ago tonight "I'm a political professional. That's what I do for a living. I'm proud of it"

Ok, selectors, agree now might be time to give Marnus a rest? #AUSvsSA

I love @Tasinsurance It’s an inspired policy solution to a serious problem for many businesses and I’m sure it’ll be a raging success. #politas
I don't care what you say. The most critical priority in Tasmania right now is making sure @powderfinger_au features York Park in their reunion tour itinerary. Make it happen @jeremyrockliff and I won’t give anymore shit about @Tasinsurance #politas

I’ll hasten a confident bet in the larger councils at least, there is a very close parallel between campaign expenditure and final council make ups. Implications of compulsory voting. Those that spend $ and put up the signs reach the disengaged voters. #politas

One of the all time horrific trains smashed playing out in real time.

Shouldn’t be lost what a profound impact Spirit 1 & 2 has had on Tasmania. Likely most significant State-building initiative of the 21st century. A big, bold and ballsy decision by Bacon & Lennon to buy them after outstanding advocacy by an ambitious tourism industry #politas

There is an amazing what-if yarn on how the twin ships came about - and the immense resistance by powerful #politas forces to stop it. Tourism industry outflanked a hyper negative treasury, strong Bass political interests, and the influence of Canberra to sell the dream. 🚢

Thought @bj_stansfield raised some interesting questions in his piece on Bell Bay last week. Added to the conversation today in @themercurycomau #politas

King Island delivering a master class in effectively leveraging their political capital with the Premier to achieve serious outcomes for their community. Other regional communities across Tas should look and learn #politas

The @afl media is funny. 12 months ago they were all frothing over @stkildafc aggressive recruiting and half predicting them as a premiership contender. This year the Saints are close to imploding with a bunch of hacks. Time of year to officially switch over to the cricket…

No Tasmania concert. That really brings me down…

Question - do the Roosters have a variation of “Wharfie Time”? “Merchant Banker Minutes” or something? #nrlgf

Show you’re NSW centric without saying you’re from NSW centric.
I wrote about this at the time, and loved it, but have forgotten who is the retiring player, and the young man? So wonderful. #AFL

What he said 👇
Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

Never have I related with a tv character more.

When your hopes of a @Silverchair reunion at the #nrlgf are dashed. Even “rusty” I’m sure they’d be infinitely better than 90% of other acts
