This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Excellent cartoon. Sums him up completely.

When I think how often I was on the 1990s phone to BBC lawyers to check our editorial decisions were sound, to now see this racist, bigoted, Islamophobic, homophobic bilge spewed out daily, it is alarming

OfCom has taken out its teeth, and a cruel narrative promoted.

Democracy is being undermined.

Muslims traumatised after right-wing attack on community dinner A Muslim community in Ballarat is left traumatised after a man barged into a community dinner allegedly throwing punches and yelling abuse.

So saying "from the river to the sea" is now a hate crime, but threatening children and barging inside a Muslim dinner to "throw punches and abuse" just gets you a nice move-along-son from the police?

That's the way, make sure people can't get out of a war zone our 'allies' created. Well done, so compassionate and responsible.

How duplicitous is Pauline Hanson?

Pauline Hanson accessed a federal government rebate scheme to install solar power on her Queensland home, despite calling for an end to public subsidies for renewable energy projects.

"A 37-year-old man was interviewed by police at the scene and was then given a direction to move on."

It seems staggeringly unlikely if a Muslim came in throwing fists, threatening to kill people and shouting anti-semitic slogans at kids during Hannukah they'd be allowed to leave peacefully.

Accumulating damage and not immunity. Something I would have thought obvious prior to, waves hands at the last six years.

the amount of uncertainty corporations are suddenly eager to accept is one of the absolute weirdest things about the current moment. I could swear I remember a time when giant corporations preferred to work in areas of settled law

Mine don’t get much love, to be honest. Staking definitely helps. Occasional fertiliser and seasol. Other than that they’re mostly left to their own devices.

Speaking of Minns, turns out his own security expert, Alexandra Caples warned that expanding police powers and restricting protest rights could “increase radicalisation”. She was promptly ignored

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
