Morrison introduces his team
FRYDENBERG: Thank you Prime Minister. You can see I’m holding up a jar filled with jelly beans. For only $5 per guess and you can guess as many times as you wish; if you guess correctly, you get the jar and all the jelly beans in it. This offer is open to all of Australia. I’ll pay the postage if required. Everything going well we expect to raise $38,000 for a Labor held electorates affected by the floods.
MORRISON: Thank you, Josh. What a good guy he is. What Josh humbly didn’t mention is he bought the jelly beans out of his own money. And remember, all monies raised will go to a Labor seat. Michaelia Cash, get yourself up here.
Attorney-General Cash takes to the microphone.

Truth in Humour
Only onepossible candidate. Paul Fletcher! Not only does he seem to have no ambition but he also has the great advantage that nobody associates him with a scandal. Or indeed anything. I very much doubt if anyone can remember a single thing that he’s responsible for. There you have it; There’ll be a spill and Paul Fletcher will be installed as PM in the hope of “saving the furniture”. Or else Scotty will just call the election next week and claim the current situation with thisandthat is so somethingorother that we need the certainty of a stable government who doesn’t have the distraction of an election in the next couple of months so let’s get it out of the way because an eagle told him that it was what God wanted.

In anticipation of the political passing of our soon to be ex-PM I thought I’d get ahead of the pack and celebrate early, confident that I do not have the power to spoil the outcome by doing so.

When Influencers are politically and economically influenced Vogue sets Murdoch's standard as the high bar
The Arab News reports that Vogue did an instagram posting about model Gigi Hadid’s pledge to donate her fall earnings to Ukraine and Palestine, but erased the Palestine part. The erasure attracted widespread condemnation from progressives, and Vogue has now amended its Instagram posting to restore the model’s pledge to help Palestinians, as well. Vogue’s erasure of Palestinians from its Instagram notice has been seen as part of a pattern in which Palestine as a subject has been made taboo by pro-Israeli right wing nationalists, who deny Palestinian rights to peoplehood and statehood just as Vladimir Putin denies Ukrainians rights to peoplehood and statehood. The Israeli Right insists that all Palestinian territory actually belongs to Israel and that Palestinians can never be allowed to have their own state.
