When I wake up, the first thing I do is check to see if Keith Richards is still alive. If he is I can go back to sleep knowing all is right with the world (mostly).

Humbled Albanese shifts gear as Jewish community's anger builds
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-18/anthony-albanese-antisemitism-press-conference-bondi/106158612?utm_source=abc_news_web&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_web #Bondi #Albanese
I'm not sure as to why we need headlines like this. It's a pile on on Albanese. The anti semetic recommendations in the envoy's report would not have stopped the massacre. Tougher gun laws might have made a difference, though. Nevertheless, the assaults on Albanese are outrageous. I can understand the unfocussed anger of the Jewish people, but the media shouldn't be exploiting it with inflammatory headlines.

Graham Richarddon getting a state funeral is an early sign of the hubris that will swamp the government.

The old playground term for Sussan is dobber. Not a nice word for an Australian.

My five brothers and I are either in our 80s or mighty close to it. Our father died with dementia so it is pretty daunting to think of the future. I have the horrors of it happening as I already have huge spinal and mobility problems.i will be looking into VAD issues in the not too distant future.

Can’t see any future for our Jacinta. She would have been a drag on Angus’ candidacy. She’ll be on the nose with the Nationals and maybe the whole parliament.

Every time I despair about our uninspiring Labor Government Peter Dutton comes along with an announcement that makes the Liberals look even more contemptible than I would have thought possible.
