I think he has shown both in letters and photographs that he's been in contact with the Iranian consulate and visited them to denounce his Iranian citizenship, yet the Iranians haven't got around to doing that.

I don't think it's citizenship, it's telling Chinese political donors about governments tapping phone calls.

I think he's in moderate but not terminal trouble.

A cable car, a hotel and an Australiana shopping village could be coming to Cleland Wildlife Park, under new plans the South Australian Government hopes will turn it into a world-class tourism destination.
"world-class tourism destination" is code for "gaudy consumer bullshit aimed at rich tourists from China", right?

Speaking to Fairfax Media, Wilson said she was put on the same table as the Burke's Backyard star for the 1996 Logie Awards.

"He seemed like a nice bloke," she said. "The awards ceremony started and I remember I was wearing a navy blue velvet maternity evening dress.

"I turned around to look at the stage and I said to Don - because we'd been talking - 'Please excuse my back' because I was turning my back to him.

"He said, 'Not at all. Do you mind if I lick it?' "

Wilson said her husband was sitting next to her and heard what was said.

The Bugle, The Dollop, Beef and Dairy Network Podcast, Little Dum Dum Club, TOFOP, I love Green Guide Letters.

Since John Oliver left and the Bugle started getting guest hosts there has been a fair bit of Australian content on it, any episode with Alice Fraser is a must listen.

Beef and Dairy Network is amazing (but start from the beginning).

If you haven't ever listened to the Dollop there are tons of lists online of the best episodes to start with, but I would humbly recommend an episode I wrote the story for: http://thedollop.libsyn.com/304-the-modern-bushman

Whoa, thanks guys. Have downloaded all of those and will give them a go.

Me: Friday night comedy (when it's the news quiz, not the now show or anything else), You've gotta start somewhere, I love green guide letters, All songs considered, Unearthed TOPS (was better with less talk but whatever, the music is actually all pretty great), Radio Lab, This American Life, Reply All, The Moth, No such thing as a fish, Song Exploder, TED radio hour, Like I'm a 6 year old / Wilosophy if the guests are interesting. And of course Mamamia out loud, Tell me it's going to be ok, This glorious mess, and No filter if the guest is interesting

Edit: Oh and the Trump thread just put me on to The Disinformation age which is about the whole 'social media bots' thing

Also go 1.5x speed

It'll be through the senate today, but it doesn't go to the HoR until next week, because Turnbull is a pissweasel.

It will probably pass cleanly, although the Nats will try to derail it.
