Seeing MKR ads during the #BrownlowMedal count has prompted me to send out my annual reminder:

MY KITCHEN RULES
is an anagram of
HERE – LICK MY NUTS.

I reckon you could also change it so that kicking it through the goals is 6 points. And maybe that a kick that is caught on the full means you can’t be tackled

Blackburn playing deep forward has been confusing me all year. Is it fitness? Coming back from injury?

Howard paved the way for Abbott, Morrison and the Liberal Party's 'women problem' New analysis argues that under John Howard, the Liberal Party became increasingly influenced by a social conservatism that emphasised traditional gender norms.

Howard was a disaster not just for the Liberal Party but for Australia. His legacy lives on in the divisions in modern Australia. Great article here by Patricia Karvalas exploring one part of this; how the Liberal Party abandoned women’s issues.

Exclusive: Government warned over β€˜legal basis’ of welfare system Despite being warned in 2018 that jobseekers were being exposed to unfair and excessive decisions, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations β€˜chose to continue with the status quo’.

Exclusive: β€œAt the time of assessment, assurance cannot be provided in relation to the integrity, the effectiveness, or appropriateness of decisions produced by the Targeted Compliance Framework IT system in its current form.” satpa.pe/22yZhgO

Australia has a politician problem: not too many, but too few.

There are nine times the number of voters than in 1903, but the number of MPs has only doubled. Maybe it's time for our representative democracy to get a bit more representative?

Judging by the results it’s obvious that some people out there in Australian music land have never spent a raucous and sweaty smoke filled beer swilling sticky stained carpet go mental moshing kind of night at places like the Great Britain, Sarah Sands and the Tote etc etc. #Hottest100

On July 2, the Australia Institute wrote to Environment Minister Murray Watt, asking he make public the conditions imposed on the extension of Woodside’s North West Shelf.

We have not received a response.

Yeah, a key weakness is 1on1 defensive contests. If the ball is hard to mark it might just take the edge off that risk

I have the same feeling. Our defence is shaky. I can’t see a way to victory

New product idea:

A podcast studio set up to record podcasts of men aged 18-45 which immediately deletes the podcast when everyone leaves the room

The siege of Constantinople in 1453 was less brutal than this being suffered by Carton
