“Cooking mackerel is a commitment. I cook them over coals using a Japanese technique, grilling with the dry heat above charcoal rather than through contact with the flame. You cook only on one side, through a wire rack. When the meat turns opaque two-thirds of the way through, with just a bit of crimson left and some caramelisation in the belly, it is ready to take off.”

AMERICA
“This has got to come to an end, this pursuit of presidents.”
The man who cleaned up New York City calls for Donald Trump to be left alone. If the US president can forget the words to his own national anthem, surely the people can forget his crimes.
POO
“I don’t really care about a fine but I would love it if the magistrate gave him a good dressing-down and told him to pull his head in.”
The concerned resident describes capturing Brisbane’s “poo jogger” on camera. The alleged defecator was the national quality manager of the aged-care provider Aveo, but resigned after being caught serially shitting in people’s driveways.
ART
“This kind of stuff happens in Indonesia or Italy.”
The photographer expresses outrage after Woolworths Prahran declined a request to stage a photograph of several hundred naked people on its rooftop. Tunick chose the location for its “otherworldly appeal” and “apocalyptic setting” – which is the kindest thing to be said for that side of the Yarra.
POLITICS
“Of course I am running again. The first people I would tell if I wasn’t would be the electorate.”
The disgraced backbencher confirms he is working for the people of New England. As with everything, if his commitment changes he would tell voters first and his wife last.
MUSIC
“You also have to recognise – and this is not a defence, just an observation – it was a different time.”
The singer and bassist in KISS pretends contrition for being an “arrogant, sexist pig”. In fairness, you don’t have to “recognise” anything – he’s just an arrogant, sexist pig.
TAX
“Other forms of discrimination, such as by skin colour, race, or ethnicity, are rightly abhorred, yet the income tax system openly discriminates against people by income.”
The think tank complains to the government about the unfairness of tax. For people so into racism, they really don’t seem to understand what it is.
