Andrew Denton lays the case for being truthful about your religion in the Census. Ticking a box to support a religion because your parents were religious might mean that taxpayer dollars are spent on things that you don't support, like anti-abortion or assisted dying hospitals. #auspol #NoReligion

The interesting thing about the reflecting pool is that Trump is in the Epstein files and he’s willing to sacrifice the civilian populations of two countries, the lives of American service personnel, and the lives of American citizens in our streets to cover it up.

I have been saying this nearly my whole life, and I owe it to my parents: we are ONE race. There are no human RACES. Singular. Bottom line. I wish I could find Slappy White’s ‘black glove/white glove’ sketch.

Victorians, I could be your next zenator. I could represent Victorians who want a calm and sensible review of legislation. #KentForTheZenate
