The absolute sheer audacity of government MPs saying this morning they're doing all they can to support charities like Meet the Need while simultaneously unwinding the very Fair Pay Agreements (under urgency no less!!) That prevent the need for food relief in the first place. Despicable.

It says there are a lot of people who are not capable of decoding the differences between campaign rhetoric and how it will affect them in reality.
This chasm of understanding is the only way Tories get elected. Yet somehow we never close off this gap...

So we've been in Sydney for a few days. Noticed that a lot of the news is politicians bagging current govt (local, state, national) and complaining about the same issues Nact campaigned on + racism, anti-homeless, anti-youth is so big so prevalent. The white pop loves to ignore that they caused this
