As always: it is significant that racist people make a point of declaring they're not racist.
The word still has meaning - it is still bad to be as hateful as these people. There are still consequences.

Wet weather footy is not a bad spectacle. It's what most of us played and leads to close games instead of blowouts.

Interesting times for the Greens, and it could get worse. But not convinced losing a couple of three-way-race seats in the lower house that they won with some luck last time while retaining all 6 seats and balance of power in the senate = dead

Chaney too. From reports I've heard her dad was a very decent man who would never have stood for the anti-Indigenous opportunism/racism of Dutton.
Sam Maiden in Insiders was right - Allegra Spender should be the Libs shadow Treasurer - heck leader.
But the Liberal Party spent a generation ignoring women and pretending climate change is a UN conspiracy.
Not sure they are ready to reverse either. - eg see Hastie
