Cancer is a very tedious invasion of one's body. Here I am, 16:25, exhausted and riddled with inexplicable pain, like I'd just got home from a big day at the sawmill. My legs won't work today. I'm nauseous and totally invaded by chemodemo. Trying my best to keep my brain working.

Sad news. Another old friend goes. We were on LBC radio in London together, back in the day. Genial, enormous fun to be with, a miner’s son, he hated snobbery and pretence. And had a large corner of his heart for Australia.There was no one quite like him. bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…
We've lost a great woman.
We grieve a great loss, but honour such a singular & powerful contribution to Australian Public Health. May @MarylouiseMcla1 rest in peace. Our deepest sympathy to her loved ones.

US$250k to be bolted into a small sub with no seats & limited oxygen… to go in some of world’s most inhospitable seas to the ocean floor… to the watery grave of 1500 people… sounds like hell in the first place. Now they’re lost, with scant chance of rescue. Utterly horrible.
"But how can it not be a threat to the administration of justice if complainants in sexual assault matters see what might happen to their phone when it is handed to police?"

Can't wait for the episode on how a well-led liberal democracy can prevent tragic and horrific programs like Robodebt from occurring.
That's gonna be a cracker!
It’s out! Join me on my new podcast series. Can liberal democracies prevail against authoritarian populists at home and dictators abroad? @LiSTNRau #auspol

Enough.
Enough of the abusive comments about Lisa Millar, and other female presenters.
And enough of amplifying the bullying by republishing offensive comments.
Do better.

David Marr: Try to find a place in your heart for these churches. How can they win customers unless they can keep promising to eradicate with prayer and sometimes electrodes the profound evil of homosexuality? theguardian.com/commentisfre…

On Monday @4corners, Purity: An Education in Opus Dei. We investigate the Australian schools and study centres linked to this small but powerful organisation, speaking to alumni who say they they have been left psychologically scarred. It’s a fascinating and disturbing story.

Ardern banned semi automatic weapons and assault rifles after a massacre, as did John Howard. She blocked citizens from returning home during COVID as did Scott Morrison for a time. Neither of them have been called “woke”. Why is that?
