The weird science of our secret saviour Scott Morrison
It’s a stretch for the former prime minister to claim he saved 40,000 lives – and it is sophistry to use that as justification for the indefensible.

COMEDY MASTERCLASS: THE TWO RONNIES
Friday nights were big in my house growing up – it meant spaghetti Bolognese and The Two Ronnies. I was too young to get a lot of the saucy humour and wordplay. But it didn’t matter. Dad was laughing, so I was laughing. Looking back, if I didn’t understand a joke, I think I still got a kick out of how it was structured and delivered.
