Courtney Herron is the latest woman murdered because our mental health and court system is failing. It's time we had a serious conversation about how we treat the mentally ill who are unable to live in society. There are too many victims. We can't ignore this issue any longer.

It's taken a while - and they waited until after the election - but the ABC has now admitted that solar sucks. But if you think their cost and reliability is bad, just wait till you try to recycle them. Then the fun really begins.

There are no surprises in the Morrison Ministry - except that everyone gets a prize - but Labor is shocked to learn that Albo and his new (likely) deputy Richard Marles are both, um, they seem to be, yes they are, how did this happen ... MEN! You gotta love it when the left eats itself.

Bob Brown's motorcade of morons was the final straw for the people of Queensland. The reelection of the Morrison Government finally pushed Annastacia Palaszczuk to get moving on Adani ... thanks, Bob!

Love hasn't broken out in the ALP but Chris Bowen has faced reality. He'd be flogged like a donkey on market day if he ran against Anthony Albanese. This is a tragedy for sports fans - our only hope is that the unions go to war. Fingers crossed!

Policy wonks live for policy. Political tragics live for the bloodbaths that follow an election loss. The ritual is about to begin - again - for the Labor party. Get the plastic sheets, boys and girls. This one is going to be a ripper.

Gloating from overseas, Alex Turnbull probably thought he was safe in Singapore when he had a whack at Tony Abbott. He didn't count on an ICBM from the irrepressible Peta Credlin.

GetUp went for the sugar hit and forgot their strategic objectives. They won the battle against Abbott but lost the war (the election!) In fact, ScoMo should thank them for removing the greatest to his leadership - the Member for Warringah.

The passing of Bob Hawke is a timely reminder of Australian politics at its best - the response on Twitter to Tony Abbott's obit highlights Australia at its worst.

Ross Garnaut is one of the most important economists of the 20th century. But his speech last night at Melbourne University was economically illiterate as well as being geopolitically naive.
