Any evidence he is remotely interested in stepping back into the 24/7 social media firestorm from his relatively untroubled perches in the plum jobs of Future Fund and Nine chairman?

Interesting question: If this is the first story the special counsel has felt compelled to dispute, does that mean he had no objection to all the others that have come out before now?

Republicans say "Trump shldn't declare a nat'l emergency with the wall, cuz next a Democrat president cld declare one for climate change." Yeah, let's make sure there's no mission-creep with nat'l emergencies and we start declaring real ones.

Following May's huge defeat, Britain now has its best, and only realistic, chance of a 2nd referendum to reverse Brexit. Never been less unlikely. I'd implore wavering Brits to agitate for a people's vote. UK helped trigger this nativist-populist b'shit. It can help to reverse it

Barrie was an amazing mentor for young journalists - and a font of knowledge for his colleagues. He was instrumental in helping me get my journalism career off the ground as a young graduate and continued to help me throughout my time at the AFR.

Sad to hear of the passing of former @FinancialReview great Barrie Dunstan. He made it easier for anyone that followed in his footsteps to have a shot at interviewing some of the biggest names in global funds management. Found out today that he joined the paper in October '87...,

Barrie Dunstan was one of the nicest men in business journalism, and a class act professional to boot. His personality was a bit like the late Herald Sun legend John Hamilton: affable, personable and charming. Everybody like them. RIP.

Tragically the presses have gone silent for Barrie Dunstan, ex-Argus, Age, Herald, AFR, a legend of the caper, a true gentleman, a wonderful mentor and inspiration in desk management and filing. Deepest sympathy to his family and eternal thanks for your help with my career Baz
