A well-argued rejoinder to the bilious tide of saint-claiming going on right now. From a business owner/originator who clearly knows what he’s talking about. Bravo

If under the Opposition a permanent resident taxpayer (but non citizen) can’t gain welfare if they need it, why stop there. Surely non-citizens shouldn’t be able to call the police, or join a library, or seek help at a public hospital regardless of the taxes they’ve paid. 🤷‍♂️

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

An excellent final observation from Gideon Haigh on Offsiders today about Gillon MCLachlan’s Tabcorp appointment and the nexus between sport, gambling and commercial broadcasters. Worth a watch and share.

Absolutely unmissable and important by @gabyhinsliff. Shame on those who have cast doubt on this utter horror theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Whatever your view of the Israel-Hamas war, rape is rape. To trivialise it is to diminish ourselves...

This isn’t some ghoulish competition, where any empathy shown to dead Israelis leaves less available for Palestinians, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

For the life of me, I don’t know why, in our hearts, we would say no to such an elegant and simple proposition.

The usual valid argument that we were shit for the first three quarters doesn’t apply tonight either. Because we had a killer last quarter and actually won.

My column on the MCC yobs, and self-styled political Bazballer Rishi Sunak theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Who’s for political Bazball with Rishi? Voters? Tories? Anyone? | Marina Hyde

So a prime minister soiled by the Rwanda policy offers fair play and ethics lessons to cricketers. Funny old game, isn’t it? says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

So good @NickBryantNY. The so-called patriots of Australia propounding an Americanised valorisation of our Constitution. That’s what happens when one culture’s output so dominates another. This referendum is a uniquely Australian moment. Let’s get it right. #VoteYesAustralia
