The ‘Adult crime, Adult time’ LNP slogan was a load of shite. A Broncos player crashed a car while high as a kite and unlicensed, injuring others. Walks out of court with a fine that is less than a ‘failure to wear seatbelt’ fine. One rule for the famous, another for the rest of us idiots

Coal billionaire Gina Rinehart has called for slashing the public service. With both major parties paid by fossil fuels, it’s public servants doing their jobs that can get in the way. It’s also worth remembering she’s a full conspiracy theorist (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/home-rinehar...

Article on Australian economy which makes sense.

I’d like it if Australian political commentators could find a way to not draw on the US election when discussing the approaching federal election here. We have a genuine democracy, the two events are not comparable. But they will, constantly, because it’s easy. #AusPol
