Stan Grant gets it right this time.
Australia’s media elite anoint Albo: Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons party with Labor leader and a Who’s Who of Sydney including The Project stars and Magda Szubanski
Labor leader Antony Albanese and his girlfriend Jodie Haydon were guests of honour at Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons’ glitzy star-studded shindig at the weekend.
The celebrity couple previously threw a regular Australia Day party at their palatial North Shore mansion until the annual event was derailed by the pandemic.
But now it has returned, rebranded in 2020 as an Independence Day party in honour of FitzSimons’ Republican movement – and pushed back a month to February 26.
A Who’s Who of Sydney’s progressive media elite queued up to get in at the sprawling harbourside home, including comic actor Magda Szubanski, stars from Ten’s The Project and ABC journalists.
But one notable omission was ABC’s Q+A host Stan Grant after he mercilessly mocked the get-together in print last year.
Grant branded the parties ‘a woke lefty love-in’ of ‘journos, actors, writers, a couple of ex-Wallabies, a few washed-up politicians…and a former managing director of the ABC’.
Saturday’s party guest list list largely matched Grant’s predictions, according to The Australian’s Media Diary, and even included former ABC MD Mark Scott
Mr Albanese and Ms Haydon joined NSW Opposition leader Chris Minns at the resurrected event, in what was seen as a clear signal of support for Labor.
Both Wilkinson and FitzSimons have been strident critics – through their roles on The Project and in the Sun Herald – of PM Scott Morrison and the Coalition government
They were also joined by Ten talent including Wilkinson’s Sunday Project co-hosts Hamish Macdonald and pregnant panellist Jan Fran, as well as Chris Taylor and Osher Gunsberg.
The Australian reported other guests included ex-Sydney Morning Herald editor Lisa Davies, investigative reporter Kate McClymont, columnists Jacqueline Maley and Jane Caro, as well as outspoken former columnist, Mike Carlton.
ABC names were said to include The Drum host Julia Baird, One Plus One host Kurt Fearnley, and Four Corners reporter Louise Milligan.
Also among guests was the bandana-wearing former Wallaby’s daughter, Billi FitzSimons.
“Why would you even care? You certainly had no hesitation taking the vaccines that are abortion-tainted”
Speaks for itself.
In addition you misrepresent the church’s position on vaccines as this predates covid by many years.
Like I said, I’ll take my moral theology from those I respect.
It’s an ambush.
Milla Jovovich will shoot all the Russkies while doing front flips.
Billy Fitzsimons?
What?

Putin is threatening nuclear war and Joe Biden took the weekend off.
Oh, shit.
The moral high ground is at Himalayan levels.
Away you go.

I was just having a discussion at pub earlier about the third and final sitting of the Council of Trent (1545-63), and this in particular:
Obviously, this is why chemists these days are so uppity.
All the chardonnay Socialists, who wouldn’t recognise a member of the working class if they fell over one in the street…Louise Milligan? Where do I know that name from?
Dot:
Moving ever closer to that position myself. I no longer have trust in any of our institutions to even try to do the tasks they were formed to do.
It looks like we will have to do the “drunk and waking up in the gutter trick” before we accept the reality of our position. It’s going to be painful.
The Jan 6 casualties took time to accrue.
For the scapegoats, the process is the punishment. Because nothing may spoil the narrative.
Sure, he was blissfully naive about America, but is that really an excuse for those who pushed?
I like the cut of this bloke’s jib:
I will never be gaslighted into believing this biological impossibility that a man can magically transform into a woman simply by saying so. And any so-called news outlet that spreads such an outrageous lie, such outrageous propaganda, cannot be trusted on anything.
Again, you want to call yourself a girl? I don’t care. You want to refer to yourself as a she? I don’t care. But I will have no part of it, and anyone who does is either a liar, a coward, a propagandist, or all three.

Albo has a girlfriend? Is that on contract, employee, and what are the Fringe Benefits?

Not sure why it would be, Custard.
Is something happening?
List of anti-Russia propaganda we have seen thus far:
– Ukrainian father crying as he hugged his daughter was actually a pro-Russian rebel in Donbas preparing to fight Nazi Azov Battalion
– 13 Ukrainian soldiers “killed” on Snake Island actually surrendered and are alive and well
– Russian tank that ran over civilian car in Kiev was a Strela-10 Ukrainian air defense system
– Photos of Zelensky in military garb with a helmet on are from 2021 border inspection
– Video of Ukrainian MiG-29 shooting down a Russian Su-35 was a Digital Combat Simulator animation
– Russian cruise missile that blew up the side of a residential building was actually a Ukrainian air-defense missile fired by the Ukrainian military
– Viral video of Ukrainian pilot shooting down Russian jet was a screen recording from Arma 3 video game
– Russian supply convoy that Ukrainian military blew up was a Ukrainian convoy
– Ukrainian military lied about blowing up 56 tanks that included General Tushayev
– Russian jet bombing near residential homes appears to be a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter targeting Russian troops
Anyone got a list for the Russian propaganda?

FEMA has just announced it is ideologically unsound and not fit for purpose.
Gut it.
Happy to be corrected, but wasn’t the first Mrs Albanese Deputy Premier of New South Wales? Isn’t that ” the big end of town”? The “big end of town” that Bill Shorten spent his days honking on about?
New thread, dummies. I’ve already torn up the place.
Is this a farmer towing away a Russian vehicle?
Maybe you ought think a little harder instead of knee jerking to Putin at any given opportunity. You have suggested those states were in invited to join. They weren’t . They applied to join NATO.
A good summation – at the link – of the sinking of HMAS Perth, lost in action 80 years ago today. Hec Waller should have been given the Victoria Cross for his brave last stand. His fellow commander, Captain Rooks of the USS Houston, was awarded the Medal of Honor – the USA’s highest bravery award – for his actions as his ship also went down fighting nearby. Why was our man overlooked? He did not even receive his Mention in Despatches until after the war – Rooks was given his award mere months later.
