Dear new followers, After butting up against Twitter's silly and arbitrary "can't follow more than 5,000 people" rule for the last 18 months I appear* to be allowed to follow more people now. I'll aim to add a few each day lest I trigger some kind of automated response.

Dear new followers, I would love to follow you back but Twitter has an arbitrary rule that I can't follow more than 5,000 people (well, 5,001 it turns out) until I have many, many more followers. No offence or shade is intended on my part.

Oh, come on, #ScottyFromMarketing ! Having #Auslan interpreters in shot at live broadcast emergency briefings was one of the recommendations of the Royal Commission into the Black Saturday fires. Now standard practice in Qld, Vic, NSW, etc. Why not for federal govt? #auspol

"Labor botched it last time" isn't the zinger you think it is, @AngusTaylorMP , when the NOalition had 10 years in government to implement something better. Get better lines before Tuesday or be prepared to continue being the laughing stock you've always been. #insiders #AusPol

The naked territorial ambition is shocking. How can you talk about dispossessing people so blithely? #Gaza

Geraldine Brooks absolutely eviscerates Benjamin Netanyahu. Just as Trump is running for president to stay out of jail, so is Netanyahu waging war in #Gaza to stay out of jail. #QandA

Hearing @zdaniel talk about the need for reform to the taxation arrangements for fossil fuel exports warms the cockles of my former econocrat heart. #QandA

No comment on @SenatorWong 's clothing or grooming; just a fanboy moment admiring her poise, dignity and steely resolve. #AfternoonBriefing #AusPol

Is it just me, or is it not exactly a surprise that the revelations about Dyson Heydon were dealt with the way they were because the chief justice, Susan Kiefel, is a woman? #abc730

'Greg Sheridan', 'Paul Murray' and 'Pru Goward' are all trending. I guess today must be #ShitTakeThursday then ...

'Brittany Higgins' and 'Rosie Batty' are trending. This is probably not what #ScottyFromExpensiveDistractions hoped for today. #AusPol

How do we feel about 'hoover' as a verb, Aussie #WordNerds ? I'm not a fan. What's wrong with 'vacuum'? #insiders
