Shoosh, @markhumphries, I haven’t announced that you’re on “The 9pm Edict Public House Forum 3” yet. IT’S A SEKRIT.
I was planning to announce the whole panel tonight, but the rain seems to have delayed people’s email.
So far I have one really good and one kinda average panellist confirmed. Book your audience spot now. twitter.com/stilgherrian/s…
@kcarruthers I know. It’s sort of @ChuckTingle Lite. amazon.com/Chuck-Tingle/e…

@miss_shiny My pleasure. Also, I need to get out more.
@miss_shiny You could also have a Bananaby Split for dessert, or something with Pyne Nuts.
@miss_shiny Well there you go.
@miss_shiny It’s the truffle oil. And the leather jacked. And I don’t think you can get leatherjackets (fish) in Sydney,Or make waffles.
@miss_shiny Oh FFS, it’s easy. Aged beef in truffle oil, duck(bill) in shortbread pastry (or short soup, so wontons), and a greens salad.
@dobes @GordyPls Look, I have a response to this, and my response is that you’re in Taipei right now, so suck it up, Sunshine.
On a related note, @paulwallbank, is that event really called “Silicon Dragon”? FFS give me strength. #silicondragon

@mrgrumpystephen You’ve got a pencil in your nose?
@R_Chirgwin Oh I am listening to AM, but the idea of Christopher Pyne visiting Elizabeth has kept me going.
JazzTwemlow Good morning all. Global warming continues and the political system has abandoned you. Cloudy to overcast westerly.
So Sydney traffic is improving* as the morning unfolds… pic.twitter.com/5undijcRyc
@mrgrumpystephen We have a secret ballot in Australia, Stephen, and that information is between me and my pencil.
This is excellent advice, given the statistics. twitter.com/TheNTNews/stat…
Oh what’s Pyne squawking on about now?
Right, I’d better make some breakfast and see whether I can get enough brain cells firing long enough to get some serious work done today.
Yes, @EuanRitchie1 @NuclearAnthro, where “awesome” means “lying unconscious and upside-down in a pile of your own excrement”. Kinda hot.
WHO. THE. FUCK. CARES.
Serve the electorate. Don’t service the Canberra spin doctors. Well, not unless they’re hot.
Which means deciding who is “winning” the campaign is really just judging who happened to re-bleat their talking points with fewer stumbles.
Far too much political coverage is just stenography of party X saying party Y is bad or random punters giving uninformed tribal feelpinions.
Journalists should interrupt, “We’re not interested in you saying the other side is bad. Let’s look at YOUR policy.” twitter.com/FJKeany/status…

@sylmobile @cheshireb @trentyarwood Where RTA is road traffic accident. I think the medical abbreviation is MVA for motor vehicle accident.
@sylmobile @cheshireb @trentyarwood For age 1-14 top five are certain malignant neoplasms, submersion, more neoplasms, RTA, cerebral palsy.
@trentyarwood @cheshireb Yes, that’s also an issue. Kill broad science-directed research, replace with politics-directed research.
“Data61’s mission to wipe out the password”, writes @parisbcowan itnews.com.au/news/data61s-m…
@trentyarwood @cheshireb That I am a terrible person is a fact well established for many years now.
@sylmobile @cheshireb @trentyarwood Ooh! Data cubes!
@trentyarwood @cheshireb I asked because “children”, “cancer” and “genetics research” press a lot of buttons during an election campaign.
@trentyarwood @cheshireb And HIV requires long-term management, so hard to compare? Anyway, the overall message is that it is significant.
@NuclearAnthro Quolls, on the other hand. Or even quokkas.
