- Autumn leaves are falling here. Time to gather them up and give thanks to each and every one for their gifts of oxygen and recycling carbon. Also time to forgive the grumpy neighbor who doesn’t like them falling on her property.

- Hollie Hughes has lashed Angus Taylor for endorsing Jacinta Price as Deputy saying he’s “insulted not only every Liberal woman but every Lib Party member…by saying 'Look, none of you were quite up to the job, I've had to go & recruit some1 else”🔥 First time I agree with Hughes
- Meanwhile Sky cooker Rowan Dean is threatening Libs to avoid selecting a woman leader through Sussan Ley bcoz apparently she’s linked with Renewable investors & is just another “Teal” Says if they dare choose Ley “we will not let you forget that choice ever!” The Far Right are such nasty ppl.
- Who cares?
- ICE and HSI had several chances to deescalate, but chose intimidation — sending 20+ masked, armed officers to confront the Mayor of Newark and Members of Congress. They made this a violent scene — and it should shock all Americans.

- How about the ABC tell us who they think should have been left out of Labor’s ministry if two had to go? Oh, you can’t, can you! And neither can the public because this is an INTERNAL PARTY DECISION! It is always treated as such when it’s the Liberals wrangling and reshuffling. Why not for Labor?

- Interesting interview on the ABC. He appears to have stepped aside so that the party would not have go through a public display of right wing factionalism.

- Will depend entirely upon what the apparatchiks decide is the best 2028 re-election strategy. Most likely, as little as possible to again give their “opponents” (blue, green or teal) nothing to campaign with.

- Othering must be very exhausting - constantly trying to find negative ways in which people differ from yourself. Diversity is essential for the survival of a species - not much wonder we are in denial about the existential threat of climate change.

- I’m confused. Don’t the leader and deputy both normally come from the house of representatives? Will she be both the leader of the opposition in the senate and deputy in the party room?? Or will someone else be her leader in the senate??? Seems to be a bit muddy.

- The climate is changing - SA has experienced its driest ever start to the year and there are dead fish on its beaches. At some point Labor’s charade of action on climate will be exposed. Bean result is not an aberration.
