Pauline Hanson has long been completely cooked on anything to do with DV or the Family Court and bloody hell do I hope this blows up in her face because it's about time one of her repugnant opinions kicked her party's polling right in the guts

Ladies - don't complain - the police have had a "gutful" - they've got “real crime” to deal with 🙄 "“Do you know that domestic violence takes up about 75% of police officers’ time now?” the senator said. “And that’s all they’re dealing with. And the police have had a gutful of it."

Didn't want to contaminate previous retweet with my own commentary but Victoria MUST abolish group voting tickets next week. It's not a debate, you're either for democracy (even with a suboptimal quota) or against it, GVT has been gamed to death and must go. #springst

This, from 1922, is the correct way to handle a dog interrupting your politics: 'Efforts to part the dogs were of no avail. But Mr Lazzarini was not perturbed. "Let em fight," he shouted, "it's only Earle Page and Billy Hughes having a scrap."

A 1922 article from the Goulburn Post. The section reads: Mr. Hughes," continued the speaker, "is flaunting himself before the electors as a Simon Pure, ordained by the very Deity Himself to guide the destinies of Australia. What I want to know is where he got his mysterious fortune." At this juncture there was a dog fight. The politician's voice was drowned by the din of yelping canines. For a while efforts to part the dogs were of no avail. But Mr. Lazzarini was not perturbed. "Let 'em fight," he shouted, "it's only Earle Page and Billy Hughes having a scrap." (Laughter.)

Tony Abbott has corrected his (or his AIs?) bizarre false claim that there is an electorate called Truganini in the ACT. But it's a very weak sorry-not-sorry, he seems to be implying that because he was astonishingly sloppy everybody else might be too.

Fun fact: Hallett Cove Beach station is 1 of only 3 train stations in Australia named “Beach”. The other two are Brighton Beach and Williamstown Beach in Melbourne. If we include trams we have Newcastle Beach in Newcastle, and Main Beach on the Gold Coast.

HALLETT COVE BEACH, 22.9 km from Adelaide, is a major station serving Adelaide’s outer southern suburbs. It has two side platforms underneath a large shelter, with a similar design to neighbouring Hallett Cove station’s shelter. (1/5)

Keep seeing stuff about AI in family history. Let me tell you a cautionary tale. Last week, a mate asked me to help her research a crime she'd heard about on social media. A 10 year old girl sentenced to transportation, a mudlarked memento found in the Thames close to Millbank.
