First Xmas/New Year without my wife of 43 years is harder to handle than I thought. I’m with one of my daughters and there will be 13 for lunch tomorrow but I will be the only adult without a partner,so I will concentrate on positives as much as I can. Merry Christmas everyone.

Grant, Speers, Sales, Norman, Jennett, Millar - The ABC has a powerful team working to ensure a return of the Morrison Govt. Is it just their conservative bias or are there rewards for doing so, apart from keeping their well paid jobs?

I don’t have any noticeable profile on Twitter, so I can say things others get in trouble for:
This bloke Roberts is fucked in the head.
Clearly unprepared, One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts couldn’t make any gains with his own line of questioning, so fell back on Rennick’s conspiracy theory.
Burgess not having any of it.
