Is it just me, or do some people on Tinder look like they've been created by AI? Are these scams, or people using AI to look "better"? (Maybe both) I'd show pics, but you know what I mean...

if they rebooted this for broadway with all three women as they are now, it would bring in $500 million

good evening, this just in: in the movie FIRST WIVES CLUB, the women are all washed up because they are aged 45. good night!

This afternoon, I'm hosting ABC Canberra Drive from outside the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, where thousands have pre-polled for the election. I don't think it could get more "Canberra." I can't wait!

On your radio and TV again this afternoon across Sydney/NSW/ACT hosting Statewide Drive. Find me on the ABC Listen App or channel 25 on your TV anywhere across NSW and the ACT from 3pm! (and if you're in the ACT, still hosting Drive for another week on ABC Radio Canberra)

I asked Headspace and the Coalition camp about this. Headspace said some jugs and little flags on the table in the presser were moved but that was it. Nothing else requested or moved. Also if you read Niki Savva’s column in the SMH it has a picture of Dutton next to a rainbow flag from that event.

The last couple of times I’ve been out on Oxford St I’ve been harassed and threatened with violence by homophobes out looking for trouble. I never used to encounter this in the middle of Sydney

Mum's been helping unpack boxes. I found a packet of stockings sitting in my wardrobe. Mum found them in my kitchen stuff but assumed they should be in the wardrobe. "Mum, I use these for infusing herbs and spices in things.... not for wearing..." πŸ˜… Funny she put them in there without questions lol

I've deleted Facebook off my phone. That's enough. Talked to a few people on the radio this week who have completely deleted Facebook. They have no regrets and are loving life. Dare I say a few more might go that way soon...

NEWS! I'm heading to Canberra to join the ABC Radio team on Northbourne Avenue! Really looking forward to being closer to so many friends and family members, not to mention being in the middle of all the Canberra action!

I'll be out of Dubbo by xmas, then in Sydney over New Years for work (exciting work stuff happening there too!), before settling into my new home. I've loved working with the team at ABC Western Plains (and the broader NSW regional teams) and will miss my work siblings SO MUCH.

William Alexander released an album and thought no one was listening to it. Now, he's nominated for two Golden Guitar Awards, including Album of the Year, for The Singing Stockman. Admits he'll need a different outfit for the award ceremony at the end of Jan πŸ€
