This really hits the button.
When the shit hits the fan...
Labor always gives bipartisan support. Without fail.
Libs/Nats never do.
That's the fundamental difference btwn the two, policies don't define them, often they're similar.
What defines them is how they act in the worst of times.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

Prediction: The Christmas 2026 episode of #doctorwho will feature some sort of 'staggered-regeneration' where the Doctor tries out a bunch of bodies that match people he's met (pending past-Who actor availability), before settling on his proper 16th regeneration.

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.
