- My mum arrived here as a 6 year old. No English. Ended up being a school teacher for decades. Dad was born here but spoke no English at home. Became a lawyer. I’m the Attorney General of Victoria, and you - mate - can get stuffed. Australian enough for you?Sunday Mail editor Peter Gleeson: The average Australian is sitting back and looking at some of these people and going 'well you don't speak English at home, you're failing to integrate properly' - we just want these people to be Aussies.

00:00 - So Australia wasn’t at the front of the Pfizer queue We weren’t in the queue at all We’d actually been offered backstage passes and a limo service to the venue. And we said “no thanks”

If that is a fact, our society as we know it, famlies, children, small business won't survive without great pain
- Trying to tie Albo to Dan Andrews worked a treat, didn’t it?
- Framing an entire election campaign around the theory (hope?) that everyone hates Dan as much as you hate Dan was always a Hail Mary strategy. It’s hard to hear the community clearly when you spend all your time in an echo chamber
- Workers of Australia. Your superannuation is safe. Just sayin…
- An anti vaxxer emailed me today and in two consecutive paragraphs claimed to be both a member of the silent majority and an oppressed minority. Impressive
- Seriously, does anybody - anybody at all - buy Morrison’s line that, by saying he was lied to, Macron was somehow sledging all Australians?
