There is a queue of people on foot, 400m long, some of them elderly, in the persistent rain for the walk-in PCR clinic in Scott Morrison’s electorate. The store across the road is price gouging on RATs. Is he at all concerned about the problem in his own backyard?

So we’d already driven from the Shire, to Eastgardens, to Maroubra, to Kings Cross on the 27th - 12 pharmacies in total - to find rapid tests to hopefully preempt adding two more people to the PCR queue, and that cost $75 before you add the time, the fuel and the stress.

In response to a question about Australia not being prepared for life with Covid, the Prime Minister says healthcare workers are doing a great job. True, but what's that got to do with the rapid test shortage and price gouging? That's the government's remit.

Where are they when it's Bondi running hot? Let me tell you where the most number of COVID cases is in NSW since June 15. Vaucluse: 24 Bondi Junction: 19 Bondi Beach: 18 ... Bossley Park: 17 Cecil Hills: 14 Where are the cops and horses for the eastern suburbs? Unless?

I am speechless that killing a woman - even accidentally - doesn’t result in full-time jail. I just wrote a yarn about a man getting four months for drunkenly smashing into a fence. In this justice system you get more time for killing a fence than a woman.

[squints] “California based writer”. Mate you guys let 642,000 people die and ICU wards in the south are in meltdown. Don’t worry about us.

Every few months a new person will discover this and that’s what my whole Twitter will be about for that entire day. Honestly, I’m just happy if you’re all happy.

This is my equal favourite fact check of my career so far, featuring retired YouTuber Lauren Southern. “Do you see any, British pubs?” There’s one, right there.

If your partisanship is so essential to you it robs you of compassion for a woman having a miscarriage on the side of a highway, you need to take a good look at yourself. If these people are your mates you need to call them in and tell them to get some perspective. I despair.

She has been left off with a dismissal but she should never have had to come here in the first place. Such a colossal waste of the court’s time.
