“Over the past 25 years the problem hasn’t been the supply of homes. It’s been the supply of homes for people who want to own and live in them,” writes Richard Dennis, co-CEO of The Australia Institute.

AI could definitely do what I do. And no doubt better. But there would be something missing. My writing can be clunky and contains typos. Sometimes it works - a sentence comes out just right. Either way, behind every thought is me - a human, describing the real world that I see. Imperfect. Like me.

Early 20th century photo shows a man sitting with a grey and white on his lap. Caption reads: a cat that saved his master's life. Jim and Mr G. Bailey, whose life he saved from fire at the "Warren House" inn near Woking.

Private briefing to senators by Trump admin confirmed that it had no war aims in Iran, no exit strategy and hadn't even thought about the Strait of Hormuz or economic impacts. It's almost like they're a bunch of moronic man-babies playing with fire.
Either population growth is too high so we need to cut immigration, or it's too low and we should encourage more babies. There is no 'more babies but less immigration' option that isn't explicitly and indefensibly racist.
Canavan, true to form, will pretend not to understand this, repeatedly.
Albanese's line that "We're sending defensive forces" to the war should ring everybody's bullshit radars. These "defensive" assets are part of a larger offensive. Take yourself back to school if you're buying it. Centrists can't even send us to war without pretending they're not.
Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.

No, they don’t.
Firstly, they’re not trained on everything ever, even the criminals in charge of AI companies haven’t managed to steal everything yet.
Secondly, knowledge doesn’t derive from the statistical proximity of word and sentence fragments.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

just one principle. please. i'm begging. one. a crumb of principle. you can do it.
the rank hypocrisy of granting visas to the Iranian footballers for optics while already working to make sure that door is shut as tight as possible for everyone else, if that doesn't sum up this Labour government what does
The hypocrisy is so dangerous. While signing us up for an illegal war & claiming it champions human rights of the Iranian people, the Albanese Gov is ramming thru new laws to ban people from #Iran with valid visas from entering Australia.

"NO CHARGES WILL BE LAID" against a man who terrorised & threatened children and violently attacked people? Told to 'move on'?! No search for drugs? What the hell, @victoriapoliceau.bsky.social? Doesn't look like identifying him will be a problem.

Me in @crikey.com.au today:
Albanese leveraged high profile young women to build his reputation as a leader who "got it". Now those same women tell me they feel the trust is gone, they've lost their patience and believe the PM's mask has slipped.

Australia needs more checks and balances before a prime minister can take the country into a war.
It should require a majority vote from both houses of parliament.
At the moment, war can happen just at the whim of the prime minister, who might want to curry favour with an overseas actor.

we need more places where he can exist in public without being expected to buy anything, not fewer

Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Angela Macdonald-Smith Angela Macdonald-Smith Senior resources writer Mar 6, 2026 – 1.38pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 7 min Australia’s biggest gas producers are cashing in on the conflict in the Middle East and the suspension of Qatari LNG production, which has disrupted global supply, with deals struck at more than double recent market rates. Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader on Wednesday for the sale of an LNG cargo at about $US25 ($35) per million British thermal units (MMBtu), according to market sources, who were not authorised to speak publicly.
