Advertising! There is something not right about running political advertising during a devastating National Crisis. It’s like being ‘sold to’ at a funeral. PR Crisis 101: say less and do more.(Btw, the bouncy elevator music is too juxtaposing and really annoying.)

We’re putting more Defence Force boots on the ground, more planes in the sky, more ships to sea, and more trucks to roll in to support the bushfire fighting effort and recovery as part of our co-ordinated response to these terrible

scores today it’s worth noting - I’ve hired 100s of successful people as a CEO & not once have I asked for their HSC score or even their uni marks. But I did ask all of them ‘what have you done in your life that has made a difference to others?
It is so good to see everyone giving but I can’t help think the government should pay for all of it, every cent needed. That’s what government is for - times of need.

Great...now everyone internationally is thinking... not only do we have deadly snakes, spiders, crocodiles and kangaroos walking the streets in Australia but now - we also have DINOSAURS!

I think the only real border issues we need to worry about are the borders these politicians are creating in our minds. Having just returned from filming in war torn Gaza - this all seems so obviously deceptive, self serving and manipulative.

: I regret the fact we now have to reopen the Christmas Island detention centre, which will have a real significant cost. Around half a billion dollars is the estimate, at the present, over the next two years.

Today most of the stories about people, life and values are told not by parents or schools but by movies, businesses and celebrities with broad reach. At least this business tried to say something worth listening to. If this ad offends you, then you are the target!

A lot of people are complaining about ‘air quality’ from the fires and it’s certainly a problem but it does make me pause and think about the firefighters and volunteers taking years off their lives trying to selflessly protect and save others. Thank You!

Avoidance strategies: defend, deny or distract. He chose ‘distract’ with tangential details. What we learned from that exchange is Waleed is a really patient person.

Since hysteria is spreading faster than the virus it might also be a good idea to take some time and quarantine from social media. Stress makes us more susceptible to sickness.

Welcome to modern Australian politics: messy, confusing and divisive. So disillusioned with party politics - I think now it’s best to try and get the brightest minds into parliament in an effort to break the status quo and raise the bar over time.

TONIGHT. I know it’s a red rag. The stories in the series are real and obviously so are the people. They’re the brave ones because they are willing to share. Please be kind on social media.

I just saw a man sucking his thumb alone surrounded by all that he owned on the street - he clearly had a mental health issue. I asked him if he needed help or anything I could do - he said ‘I’m ok’. For some reason, that broke my heart.
I would NEVER mock someone’s stutter. I was commenting on Joe’s struggle to read the autocue. I didn’t think it had anything to do with a stutter. Sorry for my ignorance.

Terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to these innocent people. It’s also a stark reminder to our politicians to stop using fear, division and borders to win our votes. It’s pulling us apart!

I love ‘MUTE’! If people are nasty or mean you mute them - they get to continue to self-soothe in the echo chamber and you never actually hear from them again. Don’t BLOCK as that’s acknowledgement, they’re certainly not worth that!

(im)POSSIBLE! Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge makes the history books - breaking the two-hour marathon figure in 1:59.40.2. That’s an average of 2 minutes and 50 seconds per kilometer for 42.2 kilometers or 17 seconds for every 100m ... for two hours. That wall is now officially smashed!
Devastatingly accurate. Tony Koch is an Australian journalist who has won five Walkley awards and an honorary doctorate from the Australian School of Journalism. He has also won 48 state journalism awards.
Just out of interest...they wouldn't show this ep on American TV (it's on Discovery) - I'm proud that
