If Paul Keating is now 80, we ALL must be getting older? Happy birthday to him. A great Australian, and enormously significant PM and Treasurer. Transformed the country.

The upcoming referendum seems pretty simple to me. Do we want Indigenous Australians to be recognized in the constitution? And do we want to accept their request to be consulted about things that affect them? I’m voting “Yes”. For more info click here:

The question is, will you turn yourself in to the local police? You are standing for the seat of Warringah. You want to be one of those who make the laws. Yet you demonstrate here you have zero respect for the law. I repeat: will you turn yourself in?

This, surely, is a fair point? Surely the Christian values which the PM espouses must include getting a family back to the community that cherishes them, and wants them back? #HomeToBilo

And yet some still defend this.I f you can't see the horror, shame and outrage of doing a Nazi salute in front of the Shrine of Remembrance, I can't help you. And if Australia can't see it, we need help.

Seriously, you have to hear @AlanJones bullying bullshit on this to actually believe it. Opera House boss Louise Herron says, quite rightly, "the Opera House is not a billboard," to be used to promote a horse race, and good on her. RT if you agree.

So, Piers, Ms Markle says "voting in the American elections is important", and for that should be stripped of the whole - entitled title - "Duchess" thing? But Prince Andrew can be mixed up with Epstein, and he gets to stay "Duke." Have I got it right?

I thought he was dealt a very bad hand and played it with such resolution and strength, that he probably set post-war records for popularity, yes? No city or province on earth managed to get the evil genie back in the bottle the way Melbourne and Victoria did. #Vicpol
