@snorks it’s an argument that’s been pushed by major parties - insisting that independents will “hold the parliament to ransom” for a particular piece of legislation - but that’s how the senates worked for a long time. And having a diverse cross bench in the lower house can bring on proper debate on key legislation rather than just a majority government pushing through. I think

Wishing Brittany and her husband every joy as they prepare to welcome their little one. 

She’s great - I first saw her in Bad Sisters - brilliant actress and great show 

Wishing this extraordinarily brave woman a wonderful fresh start in beautiful France  

@laura__palmer these are the men we invite into a pit of snakes telling them “they’re not all venomous”

I think you’ve nailed it with the sentence “people who can’t accept it are projecting their own insecurities” - people secure and happy in their own relationships and way of life are usually not so bothered when others chose an alternate path - those not secure in their own life tend to feel threatened by seeing a different way of doing things

I fully understand the health ministers frustration at the lack of vaccines - but it’s a bit hypocritical to demand assistance from others states when just a few months ago as MLB entered a snap lockdown your government was implying it was due to poor virus management and NSW was gold standard. Additionally if you want to demand access to vaccines that have been allocated to other states then perhaps have the humility to listen when they share their experience of how to go hard in lockdowns? 

So a spokeswoman announces their decision - did they have to get special pink tinted cue cards for her to use?

The image of the PM standing up in parliament today telling the world “what women want” - can we perhaps all start tagging him each time we need to make a decision? Hey Scomo - what do I want for breakfast today?
