The Australian newspaper has been claiming a "forensic audit report" shows BoM's temperature data has "widespread error". For 15 years climate sceptics have been claiming a conspiracy around the data. Is anything different this time?

Much of the intl reporting on the French protests has been doing my head in. Especially the Australian tendency to miss the point. So I was glad to write about what I saw firsthand at Place de la République last weekend. And have my photo published, too. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2026/10...

Don’t see any of those Very Wise Commentators calling for a good hard look at the failures of our mental health system. Too woke I guess

Everyday, so many of us show up to protect our democracy, build a safer future for our kids & grandkids - & be our best selves. Helen Haines is the very essence of this commitment - as so many have said. Thoughts are very much with Helen, her family & community. #auspol

Though, I can't do TrueNorth on Fri as I've been asked to the internet advertising bureau's 21st anniversary lunch. I used to create these scapes of the Aust media landscape inc this digital media trading map (a lot of well placed logos!). These scapes appeared on media agency office walls Aust wide

In my many random conversations, I often say I no longer think in terms of right and left. It's the top 1% vs. the rest. That seems to resonate with people.

"there's another big reason that may be contributing to our national housing obsession. Housing isn't considered a human right in Australia. ...Nobody wants to become homeless. And we have very few services available to help us if we do." @garethhutchens.bsky.social This needs to change. #auspol

What is the Mont Pelerin Society? I covered it extensively in this piece earlier this year, on the history of neoliberalism. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Thanks to the 🕵️‍♀️ who sent me this screenshot. The Mont Pelerin Society, from 1947, worked to present itself as all-intellectual as it devised the structure that made neoliberalism. Long been diluted. Now it has Katherine Deves with Helen Dale. 😵‍💫 #Auspol lucyham29.substack.com/p/the-atlas-...

Just thought… When you see the major parties legislate against the public interest - and then track it back to major party donations - you realise how cheaply they are willing to sell us out for 😞😞 #auspol

This recent comment got me thinking... "It was eye-opening for people in the community to get an insight into how party politics works on an issue like this & how this can trump acting in your constituents’ best interests" What #auspol things shock you?
