For a news outlet obsessed with pressers, @abcnews missed most of Albo on #helenhaines He confirmed it was deliberate & someone was in custody. Lucky I watched @7NewsSydney & saw key info. Praying Helen is ok. Shocking & despicable. Who wins? Assailant must have family who suffer
So glad @MCA_Australia removed the bronze head. What does an English black woman have to do with Australia? It should have been of an Aboriginal woman by an Indigenous artist. I like the helmets, as it reminds us of futile wars now raging. theaustralian.com.au/cultureā¦ via @australian
Gee, seemingly by all media accounts, the #flydubai plane must have landed itself. No indication otherwise, if the pilot was wounded from the stabbing? Is this not a logical question? #Journalism certainly is in a poor state.
I donāt understand why @Greens donāt elect @sarahinthesen8 as their leader. Sheās the best media & Senate Estimates performer, sheās the most visible & recognisable, the most experienced & importantly sheās the most sensible. Instead we got Ned Flanders. #auspol
So sad to hear @AlanKohler is leaving his post @abcnews One of the few finance experts who uses plain English & explains things clearly with his fascinating graphs & wry sense of humour. He will be missed, but David Chow is a worthy & delightful successor smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-raā¦
Another great day at #bastillesydney Delicious beef bourgignon, beignets & chouquettes, which Iād never had before. Also enjoyed a Bordeaux red & some warming mulled wine. Entertaining dancing & drumming from #sydneysamba too. Canāt wait for next year! On until 8.30pm tonight.
The funniest movie #samneill was in was The Hunt For The Wilderpeople. I just killed myself laughing. Itās also very sweet, although his character is initially a curmudgeon. The kid is great, as is Rachel House. Itās on @SBS tonight, but you can watch @SBSOnDemand @TwoPaddocks
I get no telco can guarantee no network outages, but they can guarantee replacing ageing equipment when itās needed. @Telstra hasnāt explained WHY it decided not to replace a $30k piece of infrastructure, particularly when itās responsible for maintaining the Triple 0 network.
So shocked & saddened to hear about #samneill dying. Such a great actor & he seemed like a wonderful human being, very funny & self-deprecating. Every time I saw him interviewed he was incredibly humble & couldnāt seem to believe his luck. He is one for the ages. @TwoPaddocks
Damning auditor report of Snowy 2.0 exposes multiple failures. Youād be hard pressed to find a more disastrous infrastructure project than this. Malcolm Turnbull vanity project. Why @AustralianLabor persisted with it is beyond me. #auspol theaustralian.com.au/businesā¦ via @australian
According to @abc730 #datacentres are forecast to use 12% of Australiaās electricity. A proposed centre 2hrs north of Adelaide will use enough power for 800,000 homes. Where are we going to get that much extra electricity from?
So as usual, the bully is paid to go away, while the victim is sacked. #kyleandjackieo #ARN #bullying
How ridiculous @ACTPolicing is going to investigate the rogue poster at todayās @PressClubAust What are they going to charge @GetUp with - mischief? The Press Club should just review their security.
Love this. Havenāt laughed so much in ages!
While I donāt want hospitality businesses to go bust, itās hard to feel sorry for venues charging $20+ for a glass of wine. Of course people arenāt having two or more! People are looking for value not rip offs. smh.com.au/goodfood/sydney-eā¦

The final whistle when the Socceroos won in the heart of the supporters section. My mate filmed and you can see the relief on my face.
