People give Howard credit for gun control, and as many of you know, I think it’s undeserved and it’s Fisher who should get that accolade.

I give the egregious Howard only one accolade: he told retailers who wanted GST separate from the price that it wasn’t going to happen.

That’s it. His only one.

A genuine man of the people is our Andrew Hastie, patron of an exclusive gun club.

It is fun that he applied for funds for solar panels.

That MPs get a taxpayer slush fund of $150,000 per annum to spend on keeping their electorate sweet is fun too. Did you know?

72% of Australians support a total ban on gambling ads.

It’s been 881 days since the Murphy Report recommended that Parliament ban gambling advertising.

30% of Australian children aged 12 to 17 gamble - they lose nearly $20 million every year.
Gambling ad ban would pass parliament with conscience vote, Labor MP says
Macarthur MP Mike Freelander believes the multi-partisan support for restricting gambling advertising means the reforms will "get there" eventually.

The "blue plaque" is too polite.

By presiding over the dismantling of USAID, Musk has caused the deaths of an estimated 600,000 people worldwide from hunger and preventable diseases.

Mostly children.

As Bill Gates said: the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children.
Someone put this "blue plaque" on a London Tesla showroom to mark his becoming the world's first trillionaire. “World’s first trillionaire Elon Musk. Could have solved world hunger but funded fascists instead. Bellend.”
