Also there's a bunch of by-elections this month that will hopefully topple the government but don't hold your breath

How? There are 5 by-elections. 4 seats are held by Labor already, and in the 5th Labor have never been remotely competitive.

Related, does Bolt get more views on Sky News or when he's featured on Media Watch for being a fuckwit?

Media Watch gets about half a million viewers more than Bolt does, which is to say it gets about half a million viewers.

Have we got any hot takes from Daisy re SHY controversy?

Daisy Cousens posted:

While sexist jokes may seem harmless, it�s so important to remind ourselves they�re anything but. Even if made in the most unassuming way, if a man is deliberately delivering a dose of chauvinism, it indicates an attitude in need of eradication. So the next time you feel the sexist sting in conversations with men, ask yourself whether the icky feeling of brushing it off, of deflecting both the comment and your self-esteem, is worth it.

I'm sure she still believes that and wouldn't say otherwise just for money and the adoration of dozens of Sky News viewers.

The next senate election will only be a half senate election like normal but I dont think they have ironed out how to determine who is up for election.

They did. There were two different methods (first 6 get the long terms vs a more complex method) and the people disadvantaged by chosen option were Hinch and (I think?) Rhiannon.

Doesn't parliamentary privilige mean you can just say whatever in parliament and not be held accountable for it? I don't see how the Greena can win this one if that's the case.

i am sure the public discussion around what SHY said and what cat hat said will very very balanced and respectful

Cat Hat is a pariah so you get all sorts of people taking SHY's side (eg Credlin) that wouldn't if it was some recalcitrant fuckwit in the Coalition.

Rupert Murdoch was photographed in public with Jerry Hall today, per a British tabloid link I won't inflict on you, so it seems rumours of his long wished for death were greatly exaggerated

His mum lived to 103 and only died a few years ago so if he's still around in 2030 it wouldn't be the strangest thing in the world.

Plus the national broadcaster is encouraged to strive for balance and so gives a lot of airtime to one particular right-wing think-tank (that itself has an incestuous relationship with both the conservative Coalition and the Murdoch press).
