Tim Houweling is a founding partner/director/however they structure law firms these days

Picture of middle-aged greying hair, generic Liberal-looking guy in a suit, alongside his professional bio, which lists his legal qualifications and areas of practice. it is boring linkedin slop and not particularly worth summarising

I'm always fascinated by who these people's lawyers are www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Excerpt from the linked Guardian article about Moira Deeming: "In a statement released to media on Monday, Deeming’s lawyer, Cornerstone Legal’s Tim Houweling, said her complaint was based on her own recollection and she was only able to view CCTV footage for the first time after it was released to media."

Screenshot from Blackadder The Third's election episode. Baldrick is in Parliament on his first day as an MP and he's saying "I don't know anyone here and I support the Prince and I don't know how to vote" to PM Pitt the Younger, who is about to 'help' him to vote against the Prince. politics, eh.

probably just a coincidence, hey

Quote from Sydney Morning Herald article under headline 'Christian Brothers claim no money left to pay sex-abuse survivors":

"The decision to dramatically restructure its financial affairs comes just a day before a civil trial involving the Christian Brothers was due to proceed to trial in the Supreme Court of Victoria."

I was nodding along with this article until it took a handbrake turn into a ditch. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/06...

excerpt from the linked post about the status of the Greens in Aus: "Immigration could be brought back to the 70,000 per year it used to be, or less: Jane O’Sullivan calculated a decade ago that each new person costs our society around half a million dollars. Immigrants should be welcomed, but we can’t handle too many at once." wtf ... why is the answer always 'be more anti-immigration'?

I mean, does THIS look like a man capable of doing the gladhandling, admin and policy legwork required to transform a cult of personality into an effective national party machine?

that photo of barnaby joyce, fully pissed, proper 'businessman's lunch' drunk, lying on a footpath in Braddon and babbling into his phone. Probably doing a live interview with the 730 report

Rosie Batty. Grace Tame. Both became Australian of the Year: Batty for work in domestic violence prevention, Tame for work with survivors of child abuse. Hard to imagine more worthy causes. Media and conservatives have tried to destroy both. Disgraceful shit. Australia has a sickness.

American shysterism distilled into one paragraph ... of course it is from an evangelical

extract from Isaac Chotiner interview with evangelical pastor Mark Burns. The extracted statement is by Mark Burns:

"Ultimately, God is our judge, not people. And we may have a sliding scale, as you say, in man's law, because it is true, murder is way more dangerous and carries heavier weights than jaywalking or eating too much. Gluttony is just as much a sin as murder, but in the eyes of man, murder carries way more weight, and it should be handled the way that the word of God says it should be handled. But in the eyes of God, who is our ultimate judge, God is a God of forgiveness. God is a God of love. So, having said that, it doesn't matter what President Trump has done in his past."

haha yes because they have previously been so responsible and sensitive in their reporting on DAndrews' health

Profiles in Business Ethics

excerpt from article I RTed about how CEOs are privately upset with Trump but still not speaking out about him: "One CEO admitted to Brady that they are "shell-shocked" by administration policies but feel constrained by fiduciary duty to avoid putting their companies in Trump's crosshairs by speaking publicly."

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

Picture from 1993 of Indigenous footballer Nicky Winmar, lifting his jersey and pointing to his black skin in response to (Collingwood) fans yelling racist insults at him. NB Winmar's team had just won the game and he was one of the best players in the match.
Essendon won the Premiership that year too btw

Barnaby's triumphalism after One Nation wins 2 fuckin seats seems pretty over the top, even for him ... is he back to dropping his prescription drugs into his schooners?
