Apology accepted (as an ABC contributor). But those reader comments were no better or worse than what some of your senior commentators write/tweet about the ABC on a daily basis. Time to drop the vendetta and return to the national affairs journalism that made my old paper great. xitter.gq/australian/status/1009…

As a white, middle-aged straight guy, I want @SenatorWong to be Australia's PM. Breathtakingly intelligent, empathetic, compassionate, articulate, principled. Everything our nation needs in a PM. #auspol #PennyWongForPM
70 years ago today a communist coup destroyed democracy in my native Czechoslovakia. The coup forced my family into exile, and months later we were welcomed as refugees in the USA. Ever since I’ve been a grateful American, and I’ve learned to never take democracy for granted.

Do not seek to stuff My head with more ill news, for it is full.
The quickest way to get an answer on the internet is not to ask a question, but to deliberately post an incorrect statement. People are quicker to correct you than to answer an enquiry; it’s called Godwin’s Law. #ihaveaquestion

Someone has to explain how, in the age of #MeToo, the #1 movie in America is about a woman on a leash. #FiftyShadesFreed
