Anthony Albanese made history as the first sitting prime minister to march in Mardi Gras.

Unfortunately, a certain senator was making it all about her again.

Tricky access.

@AaronDodd I'd be surprised if Frydenberg comes back. Family is probably pleased to be out of the limelight, unlikely to move to Aston. His kids go to school in Kooyong. He is probably making much more money now, too.
Crossed paths with a few thousand school kids in Tel Aviv; a protest organised by students against the current Govt. Many signs against the occupation, against ethnic cleansing in Palestine, & against racism. Even kids know it’s time to end the violent occupation of Palestine #freepalestine
@firstdogonthemoon Looks like a Frederick McCubbin tryptich (except you have four panels - quadriptych?)

Kevin McCarthy just officially put COVID conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Greene was previously banned from Twitter for spreading COVID disinformation and continues to spread lies about the pandemic to this day.

Beware! The PC push to ban a patriotic hardworking kitchen appliance is afoot: your gas stove!

And now I’m supposed to use an induction stove like some sort of animal?! It isn’t fair!!
