Sorry I asked the wrong question. ABC are reporting it was a fancy dress party and the theme was uniforms. It wasn't a coincidence and he was in his everyday brown shirt.

What are the odds he's known for a little while he'd have to cop to it but waited and then jumped to announce it when Pell died so people were still distracted with that?

It's impossible to say.

Earlier today, Mr Perrottet said he was "deeply ashamed" for wearing the uniform to a fancy dress party, saying it had caused him "much anxiety" through the course of his life.

He told a press conference in Sydney he decided to come forward after receiving a phone call from a cabinet colleague two days ago.

Didn't cooker really start getting used after the Canberra protests where they took over a park for a week+, but a lot of people were really badly sunburned because Canberra is higher than average above sea level meaning thinner atmosphere, meaning easy sun burn the microwave vans the secret police had parked all around.

Ms Miller said the government released personal information of Robodebt "case studies" to the media to deter more people from speaking out.

"The minister requested the file of every single person who appeared in the media … you could see the exact transactions that they'd had with Centrelink.

"This would send a clear message … that maybe consider it [going to the media] twice.

ABC

Gina Rinehart's company, Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd, was behind a $150,000 payment to the Liberal Party, transferred via a third party, and not declared by the mining giant by the November 17, 2022 deadline.

An ABC investigation has uncovered a series of payments, which a leading barrister and anti-corruption expert believes is a "scheme" to bypass political donation laws.

...

The Sydney Mining Club kept $40,000, and passed $150,000 to the Liberal Party by way of a membership to its business forum, the Australian Business Network — which a Sydney Mining Club staffer said was part of its arrangement with Hancock.

Platinum sponsorship of the Sydney Mining Club costs $40,000.

An email between two Sydney Mining Club employees at the time, seen by the ABC, noted the money was not to be transferred to the club's "high interest account" because "150k will be going straight out to the liberal party".

When approached by the ABC, one of the employees said she no longer worked for the club, but that chairman Julian Malnic made it "100 per cent clear" the arrangement was made at the request of Hancock Prospecting's CFO, Jabez Huang.

"Julian was very clear that the money was coming from Hancock and it was to be passed on directly to the Liberal Party. It wasn't that it was coming in sort of discretionary, to be spent, you know, as the mining club saw fit."

ABC on Dom

Tldr: Dom claims after his wife came home from the gym, crying, couldn't move from bed, he called Brad Hazzard to ask if he should go to a physio, gp, or hospital. But Hazzard happened to be in the room with people with actual brains and medical training who suggested ambos.

Lmao I would've had so much more respect for him if he'd tried to get an ambulance sooner. That I can understand, unlike phoning a friend with no medical training while my partner is paralysed.
