Isn't that old war criminal dead yet?

It's funny. Most Australians proclaim they believe in mateship, a fair go, and helping those in need - progressive values.

Yet, time and time again, they vote for conservative leaning parties that are largely corrupt, self-interested, greedy, petty and spiteful toward immigrants and the poor.

Where else would you get a job with such a generous salary package, amazing super, unlimited leave, all expenses paid travel, food, accommodation and staff?

A job with no KPIs, performance reviews, and no accountability - that demands zero qualifications?

Roberts would be unemployable elsewhere.

Meritless Badges.

Susssssan hands them out in the Coalition party room.

Probably the same as the ones they had on Epstein Island.

Hang on. So the police stuffed-up by not reading the application form and utilising their own intelligence sources, allowing a Nazi rally to go ahead.

And instead of a admitting their cock-up, the answer is for them to be given even more powers?

You guys are on a roll.

I would prefer our chief law officer be guided by robust knowledge of the law, rather than belief in a long dead mythical sky friend.

These people are truly nasty. One wonders what kind of a society birthed this kind of disinterest.

I'm surprised nobody suggested selling her children.

They believe their wealth will be enough to insulate them.

The main backers against banning greyhound racing came from the cashed-up horse racing industry because once the public mood shifted, they knew their industry would certainly come under scrutiny.

And those desperately clinging to the rung above you have been conditioned to push you down.

It's all driven by feeding the politics of envy.

My neighbour is getting a benefit I'm not getting.

Given the chance of a secure income by hosting renewables, most farmers would leap at the opportunity.

And since I can't have it, nobody else should!

The headline should read "Nats favour mining companies, condemning farmers and rural communities to climate catastrophe."

Hundreds of billions spent building tunnels that funnel cars into privately owned toll roads.

For far less, we could have built high speed rail that would have benefited many more people, especially regional areas.

Politics is essentially a "low skill" job, plagued with cronyism and nepotism.

What other role has no published job criteria, essential skills, KPI'S or performance measures?

No wonder it attracts the least qualified grifters and the scammers.

So many in the bush are susceptible to easy manipulation, especially when they see their neighbour getting a benefit they don't get themselves.

News Corp has done more damage to our society and generated more fear than any terrorist group could ever dare to dream.

300 jobs in 5-10 years time = major headline.

Banks, telcos and tech companies shedding thousands of jobs barely rates a mention.

No mention of the thousands of jobs that will be created by the renewables industry.

The media's continuing war against renewables.
