    The person behind the Instagram account gets full points from me today. Chasing & annoying an unsuspecting magpie... Not entirely sure why I find it so amusing but I feel like it’s exactly what social media was invented for.

    It's almost as if politicians just ignore constitutional issues until it's necessary or politically advantageous to latch onto them!!

    Woodward and Bernstein could only dream of having the dedication and investigative chutpaz apparent in The Australian's dogged campaign to find out who was behind a pot plant in a reenactment of a thing.

    I wrote a passionate letter to the Prime Minister when I was 7, pleading with him to save the environment. Neither of my parents were environmentalists. Kids can develop political opinions young.

    Considering the problem is women winning Liberal preselection, not winning election (evidence suggests it's no harder, possibly easier, for women at this stage), not sure what the point of this money is.

    The Liberal women's fighting fund, one of the alternatives to quotas, has only attracted donations from O'Dwyer ($50k), Turnbull ($50k), and Bishop (paid $25k, another $25k pledge), plus Menzies fundraiser ($5k). Not many MPs putting their money where there merit is it seems.

    I don’t see why children’s political rights should be infringed any more than adults.

    Shame on her parents for using her as a political pawn.Stop the silly protest and stand and sing proudly your National Anthem. Refusing to stand disrespects our country and our veterans. Suspension should follow if she continues to act like a brat

    This certainly seems worth it just so people don't have to take a 10 or 15 minute walk through Surry Hills

    Apart from arguments about why this would produce a bad result, how the hell would you do this without shutting down not just central but all lines that run through it?

    So you could get there by train pretty easily, and we'd get the park back.... Bold plan to build new Sydney stadium suspended above Central station

    I'm doing an analysis of which demographic groups correlated with the yes/no vote in the marriage survey. I've done all the obvious demographic categories but any left-field demogs (in the census) that you think I should check out?

    There's satire, then there's just making fun of people's physical appearance. Some people are too dumb to know the difference.

    When an entire room full of people doesn’t know the difference between punching up and punching down, nor the basic definition of satire.
