Birmingham was a failed moderate who leaves a legacy of rolling over and letting the right win
Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham was a leading moderate, or so we were repeatedly told. But what does he have to show for it?

Tanya Plibersek was a popular figure until @albomp.bsky.social deliberately sabotaged her career with the environment portfolio in which he blew up any progress she made to discredit her. It’s abundantly clear Albanese has no respect for women outside of their usefulness for photo opportunities.

Brereton always defines corruption as typically being engaged in "for a private benefit" which is explicitly NOT what his own Act requires. They even have a clause saying: "Conduct involving a public official may be corrupt conduct even if the conduct is not for the person’s personal benefit."
