Earlier this year under the threat of legal action I had to apologise to Fraser Anning. I withdraw that apology. He is in my view the sickest bastard ever to sully our parliament by the length of the straight. How anyone could not react with unadorned horror to today is beyond me

To demonstrate my point about her weird hostility towards women, Bettina Arndt launches a Twitter tirade against my wife - over an article I wrote that had nothing to do with her
How David Penberthy, author of today's vile hit job on me, fails to acknowledge his conflict of interest as the husband of former MP Kate Ellis? My campus work poses a direct threat to Ellis' longtime advocacy for victims of sexual assault. Shameful, unethical journalism.

So much for the “modern” phenomenon of sporting organisations and stars taking a stand on political issues. As the 1967 Football Budget shows they’ve got every right to do especially in a game made all the richer for indigenous participation

The treatment of that relatively lowly public servant at the ruby princess hearing was a total disgrace. This inquiry is an act of state-sponsored bastardry aimed at crafting alibis for hopeless politicians

I get we are in transitional phase but spending 7 days in my house as a result of not contracting a very survivable illness against which I’m doubly vaccinated probably isn’t the way to deal with this. Also any tips as to what’s on in Adelaide at 1159pm on Tuesdays

Didn’t think she should lose AM but do now. Hailing the murder of three kids and their mum as a personal vindication is beyond sick. Good Aussies with AMS/AOs should hand back theirs til she loses hers. Who wants to be part of that debased club?

Chris Pyne is a top bloke. He did the key thing required of him as an MP. He fought hard for his constituents and state. He has been true to his principles. He was a progressive at uni and remains so today. A number of people hate him. His best quality is he couldn’t care less.

That Shannon Grant judgment on appeal is dangerous horseshit. The idea that his 3 x assaults on his ex (who was hospitalised) were merely “loss of control” and somehow not deliberate lets him and other thugs off the hook

Tex Walker is a top bloke and was a great captain who will be remembered most for leading our club through its darkest hour when Phil Walsh died. The way those blokes fronted up after that was testament to his character. Talk of him being pushed is baseless clickbait garbage

It is pretty sad when you compare Tim Fischer’s leadership post Port Arthur with Christensen fetishising and gloriyfing guns like has today, probably in no small part because he has got a nob the size of a tic tac and needs to supplement his masculinity somehow

While Mr Atwell is entitled to his day in court on these early facts he might be the dumbest bastard in Australia
#BREAKING
This is Jack Attwell, believed to be the first Victorian to be arrested for repeated breaches of stay-at-home laws. The 18yo was fined five times (police arrested him on the fifth occasion last night). During one he told officers he had COVID19 and would cough on them.

So like the missed Dawson free against the pies do we get another fucking apology from the afl on Monday for that goal decision? Why do we even have technology if we don’t use it. And let’s remember - utmost respect for the umps at all times. They deserve it.

The crap being flung at Ollie Wines is absurd. Typical of the cotton wool era we inhabit. In future perhaps players should be shielded from crossing the road or playing vigorous board games like Twister lest they do themselves a mischief

Science holds sway over sport in SA. Dr Spurrier and Commissioner Stevens have written to AFL rejecting its request for modified quarantine rules. Letter says same rules must apply for everyone in SA and no relaxation of 14 day rule. Full details on

I got no issue with kids protesting. As a climate change believer I think the Libs are ripe for criticism. What I object to is a union-led campaign urging kids to protest during school time. Also this “kid” here must be repeating year 12 for the 60th time

What he said.
Prof Nicola Spurrier has helped keep South Australians safe and calm during a global pandemic.
This is a grubby attack on a South Australian champion which the AEU must immediately take down and apologise for.
