At Senate Estimates, the Federal Circuit and Family Court revealed courts are at the mercy of Canadian multinational VIQ that controls transcripts and is now refusing to cooperate with the Australian government. This is what privatising essential court functions looks like.

This whole LOTE project for the Collins Class was based on the idea we would get French submarines, something that disappeared in 2021 when Morrison chose AUKUS. That means Defence bought a whole bunch of stuff, based on a now scrapped idea. Here are the figures.

Many of you are asking where the Government is up to on a Human Rights Act. We asked the Attorney General's Department what 'actively considering' a Human Rights Act means. Not a lot as it turns out. A briefing a year ago 🙄

At Estimates Defence confirmed it on the record that the Palantir software Defence is paying $14.4 million for is the same suite of products used in Gaza, Lebanon, and the US attack on Iran. I then asked if anyone ran an ethics check. See what happens next.

The Australian War Memorial is sponsored by the companies that build the weapons that kill people, and at Estimates today we made them say so out loud.

The Albanese Government sent nearly $400 million in public funds to a 'Trust' in Nauru. This was part of the deal to forcibly remove people to Nauru. Do you want to know who is in charge of the Trust in Nauru? Hint: The President of Nauru is David Adeang...

Just a year ago I was so fortunate to catch James Valentine playing his signature sax at Sean’s and Dolly’s in Sydney. He made it seem so effortless and his quirky charm was on full display. Missing him already.

The inquiry into offshore detention heard about horrific instances of sexual assault occurring before basic health care was provided. I put this to the current 'healthcare' provider on Nauru.

Israeli President Herzog got a personal tour of ASIO headquarters. Asked if they could name another foreign leader ever given that access, ASIO drew a blank.

I asked the outgoing NACC Commissioner whether he accepts responsibility for keeping his own CEO in the dark about his ongoing defence work. His answer was that his CEO had no business knowing what he was doing on the side 🤯🤯🤯 They just don't think the rules apply to them!

Fireworks exploding over the Mediterranean... celebrating a doctor from 1,700 years ago. Just witnessed Ravello's Festival of St. Pantaleone, an entire town honouring a physician-martyr while our junior doctors strike for basic recognition. Running a healthcare agency, the irony wasn't lost on me.

Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces used several drones to destroy Russia’s Project 21631 Buyan-M small missile ship Grad on Lake Onega. During the Oct. 4, 2025 attack, Russian sailors jumped into the water from the burning vessel. #Ukraine

And that's it for that tonight. Sadly, no more accent bartender. She deserved her own spin-off series. I might do another double feature this weekend. We'll see where the road takes me. Six episodes left in the season, so I'm anxious to cap it off. Until then...

Pedro Pascal spoke out for the trans community at the premier of The Fantastic Four: First Steps in 2025. On the red carpet for the film in Berlin, Pascal was asked why it's so important to stand up for the trans community.
