So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

Its one of my absolute favourites, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Agreed.

That's so sweet.

It was the QLD police who arrested people for reading the declaration of human rights under Joh. Seems they still sux.

Drew Hutton has said some transphobic shit, and is annoyed that most Greens won't throw a minority under a bus for electoral 'success'.

I have made up a fake Google review for the Straight of Hormuz

At least if the Strait of Hormuz was a cafe you could Google to see if it was open or not

Substack Still Has A Nazi Problem (And Doesn't Care) For several years Substack has been accused of coddling white supremacy and fascist ideology for cash. And despite several major scandals and a mass defection of ethical authors, there's little seriou...

I still routinely see people I know have operational brains launching new newsletters on substack in 2026 and I really have to rein in my impulse to yell at them

The Apocalypse Salesman: How Richard Marles Sold Australia’s Future to the Permanent War Economy Dedicated to my wife, who sees a future and is not buying the tickets. The Great Distraction On April 16, 2026, Defence Minister Richard Marles stood before the National Press Club and announced the b...

The target is China. The enemy is abstract. The threat is manufactured.

The real purpose is the wealth transfer. The winners are the defence contractors. The losers are the Aus taxpayers.”

Two characters hug, holding pride flags. A speech bubble reads, "No cops at Pride!" Another bubble says, "Yay happy pride!" Below, one character points, saying, "That means you too, Odo," towards a departing figure. The tone is playful and supportive.

Indigenous kids don’t get bail for stealing food to survive. BRS just got bail for allegedly murdering five people.

Explain justice to me again….

I love to go home, it's where all my stuff is.

Do the clowns in One Nation and the Liberal party not understand that - according to the 2021 Census - approximately HALF (48.2%) of Australians have a parent born overseas?
Just how they think they can dismantle our successful, multi-cultural society remains an international mystery!

NSW nurses win pay rises of up to 28 per cent in end to two-year dispute Nurses and midwives argued their pay was suppressed by the now-abolished wages cap and the historical undervaluation of their female-dominated professions.
