Pauline Hanson is a loathsome individual who for 25 years now, aided and abetted by opportunistic media, has poisoned this country's sense of decency and civility. Hope those outlets finally waking up to that fact don't go seeking plaudits after having helped debase us all.

I remember when the answer to the question “Don’t Know?” was quite obviously “Find Out”. That the Liberal Party is so happy to weaponise ignorance for political gain is exactly why it has become a toxic and morally repugnant organisation.

I love footy. I love sport. But jeez it's hard to stay silent about the shit going on in this country these days and the complicity of a significant sector of the political class and media in a race to the gutter. So apologies to the "stick to footy" people, I can't and I won't.

Not a go at David Warner, who has been an outstanding player, but the level of hyperbole surrounding his farewell really does underline for me the extent to which sports coverage has been robbed of its spontaneity, every big moment milked to within an inch of its life. #AUSvPAK

Just quietly, this country in recent times has managed to produce some of the most grotesque, revolting caricatures of cartoon villains the world has seen. Has to say something about the society we've become, doesn't it?

So yet another state rejects the Liberal Party? Could it be having your organisation hijacked by extremists, religious wackos and being completely devoid of principles other than desperately clutching on to power for power's sake is a turn-off to voters? Hmm, I wonder!😂 #NSWpol

Today's Herald-Sun front page. "Nicky Winmar says it's time to turn the page on racism". Now turn actual page to P19. Oh look, it's Andrew Bolt insisting the "stolen generations are a myth". This hypocrisy now so ingrained in the business model no-one bats an eyelid. It's sick.

This is NOT a shot at Tom Morris, who I rate highly, but Eddie just introduced Tom's news segment by calling him "Melbourne Grammar boy Tom Morris". WT actual F is this shit? Not even remotely relevant. It's everywhere in footy media now and dead set makes me want to throw up.

Because Liberal MPs know if they ride out any storm for more than 10 seconds, political journos, without any pressure from above to keep the heat on, will move on to the next circus act. Nearly all our major media organisations are now just de facto lobbyists for the Coalition.

Loving this for Aussie cricket but particularly for Pat Cummins. There's a tribe of sad (almost exclusively News Corp) little outrage merchants who can absolutely jam it where the sun don't shine as Australia celebrates one of its greatest cricket triumphs today.🎉🥳🍾 #INDvAUS

Can't remember too many major events in my lifetime which have managed to turn so many alleged adults into petulant little kids. This is no fun for anyone. It's not being done to spite you, it's not some crazy new world order. And if you want it to stop you need to comply for now

Will say it again. Week off is bullshit. Completely ruins buzz going into finals, dissipates hard-won advantage top four have & now risks giving them too much downtime if they win QF, & all because of a complete overreaction to a couple of teams resting a few blokes in one round.

Been reading some comments under a few Fox Footy AFLW posts on Instagram just now. Disgusting at worst, depressing at best. Why do so many men feel so threatened by the growth of women’s football? It’s pathetic, frankly. Frightened little men. FRO the lot of you.

I seem to have acquired some new followers after teeing off on that disgraceful Herald-Sun beat-up on Dan Andrews' fall. They might get something out of this, recorded in April, but just as if not more relevant now given how low News Corp is stooping. Hope it strikes a chord.

Don't think I'm a grammar Nazi or anything, but I'm constantly staggered by how many people write "could of", "should of" "would of". It's HAVE, folks, "could HAVE", "should HAVE", "would HAVE". Not that hard is it? You're welcome.
