Live: Albanese welcomes Canadian prime minister to parliament
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Canberra meeting with Anthony Albanese and addressing parliament. Follow live.
At last Albanese. You've been running with a bad crowd lately. Didn't your mother tell you to make sure your friends are decent people and stop hanging out with thugs and bad sorts.

Same people who did that great mural of Tony Abbott and George Pell hot and frothy in a crotch grab moment?

Walter Benjamin once wrote:
“Capitalism is entirely without precedent. It is a religion which offers not the reform of existence, but its complete destruction.”
He could clearly see in the 1930s what has come back into view for us now. Capitalist nihilism is back.

Normally this should be viewed as an assault on a democratic institutions. Records tell it as it is. They are hard to argue against.

Australia news live: Chris Minns accuses Pauline Hanson of ‘racist intervention’, backs police who disrupted Muslim prayers at protest
Follow live
Does Chris Minns not understand that backing police for beating up muslims in prayer, prostrate on the ground, immersed in spiritual thoughts is about as bad as anything Pauline Hanson has ever said.

Millionaire economist's dire warning for Australian property market
British economist Gary Stevenson is on a speaking tour, warning Australia will follow the path of the UK with "poverty exploding" unless politicians deal with inequality.
Gary Stevenson is worth listening to. He's smart and comes from that end of town where people are now suffering. Referring to him as a millionaire is the ABC way of protecting property values by diluting his message. He's smart, and cares about what's happened.

Sent a few copies of Man Alone to Denmark last week. We've now sold (outside of Australia) to USA, Canada, Ireland, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece in three years. Yeah, we're small.

158. Talking Politics with Sarah Lubrano
YouTube video by Overthink Podcast
Those Overthinkers have hosted another great hour. Sarah Lubrano, who I wish spoke more slowly, is a great guest, her research on political and social engagement is enlightening.

VARs will intervene on second yellows and corners after football law changes
Football’s law-making body has backed plans to extend the use of VAR, allowing it to intervene on second yellow cards and the awarding of corners
Why wasn't the second yellow - ie red card - part of the original VAR guidelines. second yellow and red card, same thing. A serious lack of clarity. Goalkicks 8 seconds. BUT VAR 10 minutes. Football may become a snoozefest.

Mark Mazower could steal the show. His recent book on anti-semitism should be illuminating.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

It tells me it's time to start from the ground up with literary festivals. Let go of the sponsoring institutions and all their yes men and brown nosers and start with something worth listening to and attending.

Looks to me like some forms of racism are acceptable in a modern Australia. Right before a Royal Commission into one form.
