2 minority parties that are not relevant to the Australian electorate anymore, so stop putting them as the first item in news bulletins! 🤦♀️#Auspol
The LNP - a coalition with zero credibility and utterly appalling policy continues to be given airtime and credibility by a media that's as entrenched in the status quo as they are. We don't need status quo we need bold daring people focused revolution..

COALition energy policy has all the relevance and cogency as a Betamax Video player.
Why is anyone paying attention to this non-policy? Irrelevant, poor faith, and insulting to the intelligence.

This whole age verification/social media ban makes me mad as hell. How are we supposed to prepare teenagers to handle social media by banning them from it? Better content and controls that manage their exposure would be so much better than a draconian arbitrary age-based ban. Nanny state. #auspol
