In ‘93, on a school trip to Canberra we had a session with Richo.
He espoused the most cynical political philosophy I’ve ever heard (publicly uttered): it is either our mob or their mob, and all that changes or matters at all is who gets the contracts.
Can recall a palpable revulsion to the man

At the Gabba, all Brisbane players have their own song for when they score a goal, which plays for the 30 seconds before play restarts.
Charlie Cameron’s goal song is Country Road. After the song cuts and the ball is bounced, the crowd keeps singing

I find it handy to think of “common sense” as a synonym for “non-specialist sense” or “non-expert opinion” (i.e. the kinds of knowledge achievable with a common untrained understanding of any field).
Perhaps not the best basis for making decisions

Instinctively, I would have thought UN-ass-ee-nous.
But then you mention ‘unanimous’, which I pronounce YOU-nan-ee-mouse.
So now I am not sure if today’s word might be YOU-nass-ee-nous?
