Liberal friends will hate this but Albo is looking, and sounding, increasingly prime ministerial.

- I will move a notice of motion in the Senate Monday calling for any private school that discriminates against a teacher or student on sexuality grounds be stripped of all government funds and charity status.
- Alan Jones ‘Always done right by his country’ the PM just said. Cronulla riots, cash for comment, drown Julia Gillard in a chaff bag. Yeah, right.
- Covid question. How many of us have been getting an annual flu vaccination for years and never asked our GP what brand it was or were then any options?
- An idealistic view. Wouldn’t it be great if Victorian Opposition Leader Michael O’ Brien would stop bitching on the TV news and say: ‘ We have a medical emergency here. I’ll do whatever the premier wants to work together on this.’
- Djokivic should not be allowed to play. It’s an insult to every Australian obeying the rules.
- A snivelling coward burns his wife and kids to death and Bettina Arndt says he may have been ‘driven to it’. Jesus wept. Her AO must be cancelled.
- If Alan Tudge has been cleared by an inquiry ( according to ScoMo) why is his lover (a former staffer) getting $500,000 of taxpayers’ money?
- #insiders : ‘died of’ or ‘died with’ Covid is cruel semantics. Without contracting Covid, a 70 or 80-year-old may have lived another 10 years.
- Shades of Jan 6 in the US. Carrying nooses to a rally is despicable no matter what your cause. And politicians who went there should be ashamed of themselves.
- I’m in Sydney right now, and I’ll admit it is weird that Gladys today reduced the number of New Year’s Eve house guests from 10 to 5 but will still allow 30,000 at the SCG for cricket. And masks still not compulsory.
- Having led, and been jailed for, what Bettina Arndt calls the “moral panic over paedophilia” I am shocked and appalled by her Australia Day award. What does that tell victims?
- Does it concern you that Australians surrender almost half their wages in tax and yet today beg for money at Jane McGrath pink test and even the Golden Globes for help? And the Good Friday appeal. I applaud Aussies generosity but why is it needed if the governments are efficient?
- Katie Hopkins boasted on Twitter how she was flouting our quarantine laws. Putting people’s lives at risk. For that alone, she should be deported immediately.
