Last Post: Rising sea levels not a concern for PM

Wouldn’t it be wonderful, as an average Australian, to buy an average lobster, an average EV, an average annual holiday and an average $4.3m house? It seems in Australia, average has a variety of meanings.

I see Mr Albanese has bought a waterfront home. Not worried about rising sea levels then?

It looks like our PM is doing it tough on his public service salary, while the rest of the country navigates the cost-of-living crisis, with a $4.3m house purchase. Maybe “Handsome Boy” can see the writing on the wall and will soon need to find new digs!

Can we please also have a parliamentary inquiry into the viability of solely renewable power. Include in the terms of reference why every country that has pushed renewable power now has vastly higher electricity costs than other nations?

Ian Brake, Mackay, Qld

A Greens government in the ACT? We wish the ACT all the best with that.

Geoff O’Brien, Eltham, Vic

The Greens hate any sign of aspiration or success making Independent schools an easy target. Let’s hope the fightback from parents who value choice unseats some of this ghastly mob.

It’s come to this. A goldmine is refused due to objections from people who only use their first names, for reasons that are too secret to reveal, and an insect that nobody’s ever heard of.

Blayney’s blue-banded bee was eventually devoured by the dreamtime’s blue-tongue lizard who was killed swimming at Blues Point by a blue-ringed octopus.

Steven Miles should know that there is no such thing as a “free lunch”.

Alexander Haege, Tamarama, NSW

Easy to see why the PM didn’t make a statement on the anniversary of the voice’s defeat. He couldn’t work a ceasefire, two-state solution or Islamophobia into it.

Trevor Farrant, Hackney, SA

Given their total ineffectiveness, it surprised me that UN forces were even in Lebanon. It seems they are not there to protect peace or the local populace, far less Israel, but to do what the UN really wants; see nothing, hear nothing.
