Like I get it, but also, I don't think renters want representation but maybe a solution to the housing crisis?

A peasant’s understanding of the gospel was embedded in an instinctive sense of fairness and harmony with nature. Just as Christ intended for all men to share in his sacrifice, commemorated in bread and wine, so all men should share in the bounties of God’s creation.

imagining a type of guy who is pro AUKUS because the subs will never show up and it saps Australia's defence budget leaving us open to a red Chinese invasion.

The Chinese research vessel is not mapping Australia's undersea cables. That's silly. It is actually proselytizing Xi Jinping Thought amongst the masses of oppressed antarctic penguins.

The standard Labour ministerial line is that any historic act of struggle was noble and necessary – indeed, they would have manned the barricades themselves – but modern equivalents are the preserve of malcontents and malefactors who deserve a good truncheon or tasering
