@instanterudite.bsky.socialActually no! There was some incorrect reporting in the UK that fooled me. I shall delete.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialActually it appears it's a different Tom Waterhouse! There was incorrect reporting about it in the UK that fooled me. I shall delete.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialIt is, yes.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialIsn't that sweet? One Rinehart subsidiary purchases a building for the use of another Rinehart subsidary.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialA different format for the #SundayShot today. @davemilbo.bsky.social & I chat about the news of the week before I interview Andrew Dodd & Matthew Ricketson about their excellent book GETTING MURDOCHED and Dave sits down with the impressive @davidshoebridge.bsky.social.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialGareth Evans telling it like it is, namely AUKUS is:
“more likely than not to prove one of the worst defence and foreign policy decisions our country has made”

@instanterudite.bsky.socialInstead of waiting until 2027 for "advice", maybe Labor could follow advice from its own 2020 Senate report that rejected the anti-intellectual & inequitable scheme as creating an "Americanised education system characterised by high levels of private debt". And get rid of it. As promised. In 2022.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialStenographer journos have a new name.
@instanterudite.bsky.social
@instanterudite.bsky.socialThis is an excellent if scarifying article from @auspoldaily.bsky.social about the international influences that are turning clicks into votes for One Nation.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialOh fuck off.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialSorry all - no #SundayShot this week as @davemilbo.bsky.social has the flu & I am at Sydney Writers' Fest. In Sydney on Sunday? Join me as I wrangle theatrical heavyweights Suzie Miller, Lally Katz & European superstar @sofioksanen.com @ 10am before chatting to @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social at 2pm.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialThis is an excellent article by @ronnisalt.bsky.social for @theshot.net.au.
It's all hands on decks between now and the next election, folks, to ensure those frustrated by the major parties have proper alternatives to these unconscionable grifters.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialThe #SundayShot is (finally) up! SA locals @waltermarsh.bsky.social & @australia.theguardian.com's @toryshepherd.bsky.social pick through the entrails of the SA election and the implications for the Govt, the Libs, One Nation and the Community Independents Project.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialI write about the Adelaide Writers' Week debacle for @theshot.net.au.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialBREAKING: 3 members of the Adelaide Festival Board have resigned after it refused to reverse its decision to rescind Dr Abdel-Fattah's invitation. No statement has been issued but their names have been quietly removed from the website. Four people are now responsible for the ongoing crisis.
@instanterudite.bsky.socialMy information is that this is an out and out lie. It's extraordinary that the SA Premier sees no problem trashing the reputation of one of the few organisations in his state that is internationally celebrated as a leader in its field. Don Dunstan must be turning in his grave.
