Bridget, no one is saying you can’t oppose poor policy. They are saying be mindful of your claims, logic and language. In essence it’s about responsibility. #auspol

Am I correct in concluding that today’s The Mercury is no longer available through the Tasmanian State Library website/app. It seems only the previous day is available ? #Lutruwita #StateLibrary #TheMercury

Hey @JasonClareMP you are doing good work in education to bring about a fairer system. But why does an Arts degree still cost $50k? This was a Morrison anti-intellectual action. The ALP promised to overturn it. Why haven’t you?

Posted at 1:56pm, got an email from Jane Norman at 3:03pm cancelling my membership of the press gallery
Congrats to the press galley - you showed yourself utterly useless. Only @msmarto can walk out knowing she remains a journalist of worth. #npc

Hansen said that 25% spoke a foreign language at home and suggested this was largely Arabic and Mandarin. Jane Norman ABC News repeated this without question. This is appalling from the National Broadcaster. The truth is that around 4% of people speak Arabic or Mandarin at home.

So @janeenorman is it true that you cancelled Greg Jericho’s press Club membership after he criticised the NPC member performance at the Hanson event? Or do I have that wrong?

Not sure about the decision to kick the Hawks out of Tassie - I reckon the tradition that had been established over 20+ years is worth keeping. We’re big enough to develop our support of the Devils and still have the Hawks play a handful of matches in Lonnie each season.

You can express indignation about the inappropriate use of public money without falling back on the insidious "taxpayer's money" trope. If anything, it makes an even stronger case, because IT IS public money, and the only legitimate purpose of public money is the public purpose.

Yesterday the Tasmanian men’s cricket team beat a team above them on the ladder in a very good match where the team delivered the promise it has shown but often squandered all season. The Examiner (today’s edition) does not mention it at all but covers the SA v Victoria game.

It's happening again: Those who demand smaller govt & wish for the 'govt to get out of my life' are now screaming loudest that the govt should do something about petrol. Hypocrisy in extremis

We need a Royal Commission into Male Violence Against Women. How many more women must die at the hands of violent men before we see real action?
