This man knew that a university degree should be free for all Australians. Gough Whitlam understood the value and power of an educated society. What a visionary. #HECS #auspol

Watching the Shadow Ministers on #Insiders makes me feel better about who the real Ministers in power actually are. #auspol
Reading about these two people at Coldplay have given me more entertainment in the past 24 hours than they have in their entire musical career. #Coldplay

The new Smurfs movie looks a little dark…. #SmurfsMovie #Smurfs #ErinPatterson

Apparently there's no Epstein list but the warning signs will always be there.... #EpsteinList #Epstein #JeffreyEpstein #PrinceAndrew

I get it that the LNP are in opposition but since when did they ever care about social issues. #insiders #auspol
Show you’re in Australia without saying you’re in Australia….

Here are the isolated vocals to the end of God Only Knows. Brian Wilson wrote and produced this at 23 years old
I can't think of a singularly more unworthy person to get handed the highest recognition in this year's King's Birthday honours list than Scott Morrison. Remember he went on holidays to Hawaii during Australia's worst bushfires and it didn't get better from there. #auspol

Laura Tingle goes into the realm of brilliant political commentators with the likes of Paul Bongiorno, Barrie Cassidy, Peter Harvey, Laurie Oakes and Kerry O'Brien. She will be sorely missed. #Insiders #auspol

Have absolutely adored @MagdaSzubanski since the 80s. She's been a comedy genius for decades and the bloopers at the end of 'Satan's Bride' still crack me up. Anyone wishing her ill will after her cancer diagnosis is a classless POS. We love you Magda! youtube.com/watch?v=1yEYQ1…
After watching Insiders its become very clear that The Nationals have not had a decent leader since Tim Fisher. #Insiders #auspol

Taree is so close to my heart - I spent most of my childhood in these streets with my grandparents and family all from here for generations. To see this is utterly heartbreaking and I can only wish and pray that everyone affected is safe and sound. 🙏 #Taree #Floods #NSWFloods
🇦🇺 | Taree, NSW is facing catastrophic flooding as the Manning River exceeds its 1929 record, rising rapidly after extreme overnight rainfall. Air rescues, road closures, and mass evacuations are underway as emergency crews work to reach stranded residents. (May 21, 2025)
The idea of George Wendt entering Heaven and everyone shouts Norm!!! as he enters the pearly gates is enough put a smile on my face. RIP George. #georgewendt #RIPGeorgeWendt
Two good things about Sussan Ley winning the Liberal leadership - Labor will win the next election and Angus Taylor lost. #Liberals #SussanLey #auspol
Now that Zoe Daniel has officially lost Goldstein can we replace David Speers on Insiders with her as host. #auspol
Former PM Paul Keating called it six years ago when he urged voters in Peter Dutton’s electorate to "drive a political stake through his dark political heart.” Forever the visionary. #auspol #Labor #PeterDutton #PaulKeating #Liberal abc.net.au/news/2019-05-1…
