A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley criticised the AUS PM Anthony Albanese for wearing a Joy Division band t-shirt? Manufactured outrage. She now has less than zero credibility. Well, I am NOT lending her my Dead Kennedys album, that's for sure. #auspol
