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.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

🇦🇺 pays $1.5mil per person each year to detain people on Nauru.
During last Senate Estimates, I asked about links to organised crime and value for money, I was told there is no need for concern.
Now whistleblower evidence paints a very different picture.
