COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.

It is easy to forget the times he governed were extraordinarily unlucky.
The oil price in the first 13 months of Whitlam’s govt rose 595% from US$1.87/barrel to US$13.00. Yet, Australia’s economy grew faster than the US, the G7 and the OECD
Beyond GDP he had a vision and transformed this country.

Whitlam Dismissal take
The greatest achievement of the Dismissal has been the crushing of the ALP’s ambition to actually bring a better world into being.
Hawke sealed the deal by making the mark of success decent management of a capitalist economy.
Now it’s just ambition to be in government.

It's no accident that Nazis rallied in Sydney. Police waved them through — and now Minns wants to punish us all
The existing law in NSW is more than adequate to have avoided the images of Nazis outside state parliament over the weekend.

Nazis who rallied at parliament want to enter politics. They think NSW is their best shot
Neo-Nazis are on a recruitment drive in a bid to register as a mainstream political party, and they believe a NSW upper house position could be their best bet.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

so cool that mark carney is gutting climate policy to make a very expensive bet that asia will buy a ton of additional oil and gas from canada over the next few decades
"Far from a peak, China's gasoline demand is estimated to have fallen 9% in October on the year to 12.5 million tons, with average daily use roughly flat with September..."
China's oil demand is entering structural decline.
