I just can’t believe we’re doing this.
Not a single credible expert says it’s good for us.
The only reason we’re doing it is so Labor is seen to be strong on defence & so they don’t get wedged by LNP/Murdoch/Stokes/Nine/ABC (they will anyway) #auspol

Accidentally shot wife in the back and she’ll never walk again. Dumped her at the hospital, then fled. Went home and cleaned up the scene, then vanished for a month

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

Yup. I once met the man who ran the marketing campaign against the mining tax, who boasted that for $21 million expenditure, the mining industry had been spared tens of billions, HUNDREDS of billions of dollars of paying their dues to the people of Australia.
