One of the loveliest people you will meet at Parliament House, long-serving cleaner Anna Jancevski, is greeted by former PM Julia Gillard at the unveiling of her official portrait. You might remember her from this moment when she congratulated Josh Frydenberg after the spill.

Does Angus Taylor want the shortlist to include a HELE coal-fired power station for Queensland? He says he wants it to be for reliable and low-cost power.

Also unclear: what scope there is to get a shortlist if Parliament has not passed a law that allows the "underwriting" or financial support the government is talking about?

Energy Minister Angus Taylor says this morning he wants a short-list of power projects by early next year. No sign he could strike contracts before election.

The "big stick" on energy could get the chop in parliament. Government yet to convince on divestment power, financing plan.

I've mentioned before that later postals tend to be less conservative than early ones but I have never seen this split be so pronounced. Phelps narrowly WINS today's c.500 postals and the margin might not change that much in total from here on.

She thinks kids will look at the portrait and say: “Gee, it’s crazy that it took so long for there to be a female prime minister.”

Julia Gillard says she wanted the portrait to tell the story of her being the first woman to become PM.

Wa Lone said: “I have no fear. I have not done anything wrong … I believe in justice, democracy and freedom.” Kyaw Soe Oo hugged his wife while she was sobbing and held her until police took him away. Reuters reporters jailed for seven years in Myanmar.

Cheers. I found Twitter was great in the aftermath of wentworth because I was picked up on some of the calculations I had made. That was this place at its best. Feedback here led to me adjust my story.

I just don't get that comment at all. He got free airtime to put his views and it was all the better for the questions. Imagine if just went on, and on...

Your tweet might give the impression the Herald is somehow endorsing Powell in some way, which I think is not what's happening here. It's just a quote: "For a politician to complain about the press is like a ship's captain complaining about the sea."

Fair point. I'm all too aware of media flaws and that's why I try to avoid tweeting about the media and try to stick to tweeting about politics. Cheers.

I think that's an unreasonable criticism. It's a specific piece about a Fairfax story. Not every article has limitless space to mention every thing.

Piece I just linked to says plenty of mistakes. Of course media gets it wrong.

Worth reading on the way fallen leaders blame the media. (And the conjecture about that 2010 story will probably never end.)
