“Towke’s declaration says Morrison had also advised these delegates that “I was being investigated by the #LiberalParty for a number of criminal and immoral activities, all with racial overtones, and all of which turned out to be completely fabricated and have no basis of truth whatsoever”. In July 2007, #MichaelTowke won the #Cook #preselection, securing 82 votes to Morrison’s eight, but moves were immediately under way to overturn that decision.”

I see the Godfocker is up for honours. Not fit for it.

Who Thought It Was a Good Idea to Let Me Drive a Lunar Rover?

They actually let me drive Australia’s Lunar Rover… I still don’t know why.

This all happened at AusSpace 2025 — Australia’s biggest space tech event — where I somehow found myself behind the controls of ROO-VER, the lunar rover being built to drive on the Moon.

Not only did I get to drive the thing, but I also sat down with one of the engineers building it... and then, somehow, ended up interviewing former Prime Minister Scott Morrison (?!). That’s not a sentence I ever thought I’d write.

This trip was insane, full of space tech, mad energy, a few surprises — and, of course, one very confused engineer trying to explain to me how to drive a robot made for the Moon.

So… did I crash it? Did Scott Morrison talk about space chickens? Did I get kicked out of AusSpace?

There’s only one way to find out 👇

The caretaker #PM appearing on the #HateMedia (ABC Press club as defined by 🥔🤓), something I can’t remember #PeterDutton doing or being capable of.

“Through everything the world has thrown at #Australia over the last three years, for all the #challenges our #nation has faced, our #government has held true to those enduring Australian #values of #fairness, #aspiration and #opportunity.

It has been less than three years since Australians voted out the #ScottMorrison (ex PM & Minister for Health, Finance, Treasury, Immigration and Holidays) government. My #colleagues and I know there is more work to do. That is what #drives us.” — #AnthonyAlbanese

Half the battle is attendance. ⚔️

Not a bad summary, nothing on environment, trade or defence… but there is #Policy to back this up. No mention of working with Independents, Greens to achieve these aims.

Grace Tame wears anti-Murdoch shirt to prime minister’s Australian of the Year morning tea
theguardian.com/australia-news

Grace Tame is making a strong public statement again. This time, while meeting with Anthony Albanese, she's taking a stand against Rupert Murdoch and the poisonous influence of his NewsCorp media empire. It's a timely reminder of Grace Tame's powerful side-eye at Scott Morrison in 2022.

Well … I’ve been shopping this book around for a publisher for the better part of two years and I’ve failed miserably to place it anywhere despite much effort and even more grovelling. So … in the embarrassing tradition of obscure poets everywhere, I decided to publish it myself. I wouldn’t have bothered but there are some decent until now unpublished poems in the collection that deserve to see the light of day: even if that light is only a glimmer.

And the cover’s pretty neat.

Anyway, you can order a copy here: rb.gy/k9imvy

I know, right? Self-publishing a book of poetry … the next thing you’ll undoubtedly hear about me is that I’ve joined a cult. Or that I’ve founded one. Either way, it’s a logical career progression. Fillet of pangolin anyone?

Image of the book covers of Clay Thistleton’s collection of poems After Spruce: Poems in the Manner of Tom Jenks’ “Spruce” During the Time of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The front cover shows a pangolin. The back cover reads in part: After Spruce: Poems in the Manner of Tom Jenks’ “Spruce” During the Time of the Coronavirus Pandemic is Clay Thistleton’s second collection of poems. Focusing on the public health response to the pandemic in Australia and the United States, Thistleton uses contemporary British poet Jenks’ form of the juxtapositional tercet both to skewer his targets and to record an elegy for the world-wide suffering caused by COVID-19. Clay Thistleton has taught creative writing and literary studies in universities, community colleges and not-for-profit organisations for almost two decades. He is the author of Noisesome Ghosts (Blart Books, 2018): an Elgin Award-nominated collection of found poetry that investigates the phenomenon of ghosts and poltergeists that have the ability to speak or write. His current project, Never Mind the Saucers (Stranger Press, forthcoming), examines documented instances of alien-human sexual contact. Along with his son Dylan, Clay lives in New South Wales, Australia with a fluctuating number of feral cats.

“The federal court has ruled against a decision blocking access to early robodebt documents drafted under the former Coalition government, as part of one man’s long-running fight to shed light on the scheme’s origins.

Justices #GeoffreyKennett, #AnnaKatzmann and #ShaunMcElwaine ruled that a December 2022 decision made by the administrative appeals tribunal (AAT) to keep some robodebt documents exempt, including draft costings and new policy proposals, should be set aside due to procedural unfairness and because the #AAT had incorrectly agreed with the cabinet confidentiality exemptions Services Australia applied.

The #documents could add more details to the public record about what the former prime minister #ScottMorrison – who was then responsible for the social services portfolio – and other senior ministers, including #ChristianPorter, #AlanTudge and #MarisePayne, were privy to in the scheme’s initial stages”

On Olympic athlete's Sam Fricker's Diving Deep podcast, former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison dismissed the idea that China is unable to become a multiparty democracy, saying there is no "anti-democratic” instinct in the Chinese people. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/ #asiapacific #politics #australia #scottmorrison #china #democracy
