Hopefully he thinks it's a suppository.

My wife mentioned today that her friend calls her daughter "Dodo", and said "What kind of person calls their grown daughter Dodo??" Quickly I said "Maybe their ex stinks?" Got a laugh, for once!

Yep - almost too hot Friday, got the wood heater lit today. That's Tassie for you.

F*ck him. A more useless bag of shit never drew breath.

Mini by the looks of it

The AFL are generously giving the project a whole $15m, or around 1%. The taxpayer is providing the other 99%. Putting on my Nostradamus goggles, I predict that the AFL and any other private companies involved will see a return on investment, whereas all losses will be borne by the rest of us.

Well they passed the stadium. Only this bunch of losers (and I lump together both major parties and the spineless independents who voted yes) could take leave of their senses, bend the entire state over a barrel, and pimp our collective arse to the AFL. Only they could ignore the planning experts and every economist, all of whom comprehensively rejected this monstrosity, and approve something which will cost well over $1b, bring in revenue of less than half of that, dominate the historic Hobart waterfront, and has no parking or public transport. Oh, and when in use will block up traffic on the busiest street in the city. At a time when Tasmania is already holding historic levels of debt, just been downgraded by S&P, and is crying out for staff and services in health, education and justice. This guy puts it better than I ever could. Victoria, stop complaining about your state government, I think we've got it worse right now. https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/04/tasmania-macquarie-point-stadium-cost/

Did you at least bring home a haunch of venison?

Maybe he uses the equivalent of an autopen...

Steve Cropper has played his last riff. Co writer of Dock of the Bay and acted in the Blues Brothers movie. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-04/steve-cropper-dies-aged-84/106100460

No, but it might show a brain about the size of a walnut.

You can think whatever you like, whether it's right or wrong. But if you turn up to a rally railing against people who got here about a minute after your family, while you're wearing clothes made in Bangladesh, shoes from the Philippines, sunnies, flag and MAGA cap from China... Well then I reserve the right to call you a bloody dickhead. How Australian is that?

5th generation! What's that, about 150 years? I reckon to the folks that were living here for somewhere between 45,000 and 60,000 years, that's a flash in the pan. My mum's family have been here for about the same time, my dad came from Sri Lanka in 1955. Was he less Australian than her? If not, then why is the person who got here from Afghanistan last Tuesday any less Australian than you?

Here's a refreshing story about a (for now) multi-millionaire. If only Musk and the other kleptocrats were like this. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-30/rich-heiress-giving-away-all-her-wealth/106077200

Bullshit.
