I have been concerned that Labor would by chance improve the economy by the next election. But they are uniquely useless. Every decision takes us backwards. But they will still win. The swing required is too big to unseat them. What then. Another three years will finish us.

37 year wedding anniversary today. As I say to my wife if it were not for her I would just be lying on a beach all day sipping margaritas. Oh wait. That didn’t come out right.

Acquaintances from other countries tell me that Australia is miles better than their own countries. People from Spain, England, Ireland, France which have been through the sheer progressive madness. I tell them don’t worry Australia is always ten years behind trends.

When I agree with Albo I really start to panic. He supports Ukraine. So do I. The Russian invasion was completely unjustified. But I could be wrong. Because I agree with Albo. Terrifying.

I’ve often wondered if super famous people ( actresses) often don’t have children because their legacy is their creative work and they live on through memes/ memories rather than genes.

I don’t think that women are capable any more of the concentration required to enjoy a full length movie. Men are heading the same way but they can still do it. Is that sufficiently provocative?

Govt subsidies to the relative rich for rooftop solar plus giant batteries should have been targeted to the genuine poor by giving them completely free solar and batteries. The rich can look after themselves. The current scheme leaves the poor bearing the increased grid costs.

Commercial surrogacy will obviously be a practical disaster. You only have to think of what happens if the child is disabled. But it’s worse ideologically. The creation of a child for the specific purpose of removing that child from its mother. Let’s not legalise it.

When I was young I was an ok swimmer. State level. I trained every day with this guy who bulked up overnight at the age of 15. I didn’t. I gave up. I learnt tonight from a mutual friend that he was on steroids. At 15. We lifted the same weights. WTF?

I had very good school results but soon found at college that I was second tier. I still managed to top first year law at that college somehow and there was a prize for best first year law student. I needed the money. They decided to give it to the top engineering student. Ha.

Six of us sixty year old men having dinner the other night. All hardened by the usual life dramas between kids and parents and health. But all soldiering on as best we can. It was kinda nice.

When young couples separate their immediate solvency with a mortgage depends on the goodwill of both parties. There is no obligation for existing financial arrangements to continue nor for each party to maintain the other. This should change until property matters are settled.

Chalmers is quiet lately. Suppose they are still on their break. But I fear there may be giant budget blow outs coming. We are getting drip fed bad budget news at the moment.
