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…

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.

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?

Miss USA won Miss Universe and we don’t even have good healthcare for any neck and back problems she may experience from this costume. Bless. xitter.cf/irees/status/161448281…

Yes, THIS! "Boomers" is such a lazy trope. "Boomers" are sick of it. We are "the children" of Gough Whitlam.🎀 Gough won because we voted for him.

None of ur business but- I’m receiving precisely NOTHING. Not in cash, not in kind. You demand right to freedom of speech & to be vaccine free. Kindly respect my right to inquire (on a free speech forum!) about boosters for latest variants. No conflict of interest. Just my choice

Modern slave master Musk tells his crew they can keep their jobs if they agree to work 24/7; create brilliant code and be flogged mercilessly just to encourage total commitment. BYO pee bottle. A paragon of can-do capitalism entrepreneurship who makes Amazon look soft.
The most despicable sort of boss recklessly digs holes for themselves and expects everyone else to die of heart attacks trying to dig them out. theguardian.com/technology/2…

I guess all the folks at Musk's other businesses are enjoying a bit of peace and quiet while he mans the Twitter customer service desk.

This is a story that Fran Coyle waited 50 years to share. In 1972 - at age 12 - Fran was raped by two men, resulting in a pregnancy. Weeks later, Roe v. Wade was decided, giving Fran the freedom to determine her own future. Today, that freedom is being ripped away from SC women.
