We spent millions remembering many things _ the first fleet, the landing at Gallipoli and the end of the World War II _ but have we anything planned to recall the Wall Street crash of 1929? The Great Depression shattered my family just as dramatically as the two world wars.

BREAKING Pete Hegseth announced a plan to livestream his next colonoscopy. According to Hegseth, the public deserves to know just how big of an asshole he really is.

Recovering after a rough few days. Tested negative for RSV, ADV, Flu A/B and Covid 19. Sadly there is no test for man flu. I’m lucky to be alive.

After the Nuremberg trials several Nazis pleaded for an "honourable" execution by firing squad instead of the gallows. Maybe Hogsbreath is giving Nidal Hasan an honourable way out.

Now I am nominally an adult I can take the sweet and sickly cough syrup and not the horrible chloroform tasting one my mother believed was best. Actually neither works very well.

I don't think Max's plan is realistic but please let's not fret about market control while Coles and Woollies are calling the shots.

Ludditism and old age often go hand in hand but the more I read and watch the less I am convinced AI will improve our lives.

Luxury apartments planned for our street. When you look at the prices/profit structure you know that private industry will never solve the housing crisis. Governments must do more to meet demand for reasonably priced dwellings.
