@lindamciver @pluralistic Be interested to hear if he mentions his favourite Australian Prime Minister:
America may have invented NERD HARDER! but plenty of other countries have taken up the cause. The all-time champion is former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who stated “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia”

Malcolm Turnbull says faith in Aukus nuclear submarines deal is 'stark staring bonkers' – video https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2026/aug/10/malcolm-turnbull-says-faith-in-aukus-nuclear-submarines-deal-is-stark-staring-bonkers-video #Aukus #MalcolmTurnbull #AustralianMilitary #AustralianPolitics #AustraliaNews #UsNews

Malcolm Turnbull helped set up a billion-dollar industry using public money… and now he’s personally benefiting from it.
As PM, he created funds filled with taxpayer cash. Now, out of politics, he’s tapping into that same stream.
It might all be technically above board — no smoking gun, no missing receipts — but it still doesn’t pass the pub test.
So what do we call it?
Because if this is now considered normal, or even acceptable, we’ve got a much bigger problem on our hands. -

@gusseting @Susan60 @MsDropbear42 @aj
The reasons for the extreme disappointment I felt around Turnbull's Prime Minister-dinghy are now much clearer to me.
This isn't a welcome development.
And Lawrence Mooney looks like my brother-in-law. Hehe. Oh will this be milked.

Malcolm Turnbull just called the new Opposition Leader Angus Taylor the "best qualified idiot" they've ever met — pointing out his fancy degrees and Rhodes Scholar creds don't hide the lack of real policy wins.

Angus Taylor resigns from Liberal frontbench ahead of expected leadership spill
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-11/federal-politics-estimates-albanese-ley-herzog/106328310Ot appears Angus Taylor's handlers have convinced him that he has the numbers to shiv Susssan Ley.
My opinion is that Angus Taylor doesn't have a strong enough grasp of mathematics to do the sums for himself — because if he did, he'd be more cautious.
One wonders if Angus Taylor has been taking advice from the same innumerate people who set-up Peter Dutton for his failed spill against Malcolm Turnbull in August 2018 that handed the party leadership and position of Prime Minister to Scott Morrison.

Malcolm Turnbull: Coalition chasing Sky News approval has taken them to "La La Land"
Former PM argues Australia's power nexus is fundamentally centrist, while current Coalition troubles stem from courting conservative media audiences. -

Australia is a fossil fuelled colony. People talk about democracy. What democracy, when our politicians are literally dressed as fossil fuelled employees?

Tony Abbott intervenes in Liberal leadership battle calling on right to unite to oust Sussan Ley
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-28/tony-abbott-calls-on-conservatives-to-unite-and-oust-sussan-ley-/106278112It hurts me to say this, but: Susssan Ley is right. She's recognised that if the Liberal Party is to survive, to present itself as a credible Opposition, and have more than just a dream of winning an election in the next decade, it needs to be overhauled.
Susssan Ley has a mountain of work ahead of her if she's trying to reform and modernise the Liberal Party. This comes after years that cannot be swept under the carpet, and memories that stretch back so far in people's minds that we have a clear picture of what is "normal" for the Liberal Party. Some people like Tony Abbott want that "tradition" that he was part of and benefited from to persist, and for the rest of us to forget the aspects that were terrible for most people in Australia.
But, who can forget the lies and racism and RWNJ extremism resembling Nazism of the Malignant Potato Peter Dutton, the lies and racism and self-serving religious quackery of the Liar from the Shire Scott Morrison, the lies and racism and outrageous sexism and anti-intellectualism and cruelty disguised as boofheadedness of The Mad Monk Tony Abbott, the lies and racism and nonsensical neo-con ideology of Malcolm Turnbull, and the lies and racism and mean-spirited divide-and-conquer class-warfare of John Howard?

Former Australian prime minister #MalcolmTurnbull praised the already 'enormous influence' of Prime Minister #MarkCarney address on a fractured world order: 'Carney has the intellect and the eloquence to deliver a speech that I think will be a tipping point,' he said.

On 26th Oct 2021, Australian PM Scott "don't-be-scared-of-coal" Morrison announced the Coalition's #NetZero2050 #ClimateTarget.
That same day, I read the document containing Morrison's 'plan'. It contained nothing to get Australia anywhere near the (already compromised idea of) #NetZero.
There was no plan, no modelling, no change in actual policies. The #ScottMorrison 'commitment' to net zero was still completely consistent with decades of #Coalhugger #Coalition policies. The target was toothless, an exercise in getting a headline to quiet the conscience of the news-skimming voter whose grandkids keep telling them climate is bad but who really wants to vote for hurting marginalised people and/or retaining their current tax loopholes (and who hasn't realised how much the #ALP embraces both anyway).
So with this week's news that #SussanLey has dropped that pretence, at least now there is one iota less dishonesty in Australian politics (albeit one with its own new lies and contradictions).
The last time the Coalition's #ClimatePolicy slightly departed from utter loyalty to the #DirtyEnergy industry was the morning of the 1st Dec 2009 in the hours before #MalcolmTurnbull was deposed as leader of her Majesty's Opposition and replaced by #TonyAbbott by a single vote.

Watching #TheShot / #TheSundayShot.
Great content, great guests.
The failures of internet connectivity between them all make viewing the show pretty unpleasant.
The failure to provide Australia with even quality late-20th century internet is on #TonyAbbott, #MalcolmTurnbull and their corrupt #LNP business-mates.
If this trash connectivity is normal on #Zoom etc then regular users have my commiserations.
For me, this Zoom-like format is currently too disjointed to watch for pleasure.

Saw the below from The Saturday Paper.
And wondered if Abbott was aiming to get Dutton into the PM position when #MalcolmTurnbull was rolled - which would have had Mr Sneaky outsmart Abbott.
Or were Abbott and Mr Sneaky in cahoots, using Dutton as the assassin, always intending to dupe him?

The problem I see is that #Centrism seems to have had no answers to #ClimateChange.
And if you've been around while climate change has rolled on across the decades then you're going to have to tell us why you've been ineffective so far.
And how that is going to change now.
So what's been happening #AnneApplebaum and #MalcolmTurnbull?

#RadioNational , has a show #GlobalRoamingABC.
Latest episode is #TheRiseOfPopularism with guests #MalcolmTurnbull and #AnneApplebaum.An argument for a #Centrist approach is made and do all present seem to think it is what's needed?
You could post your response, I appreciate having such things taken apart before me.
Or you could debate the issue with the sock I'll put in my hand - be sure to tell the sock what it's position is before you start
