I'm glad we have people more optimistic than I am. Seriously. Reminds me about the good bits. But being better than the coalition is a low bar. There's Aukus, sucking up to Trump, NACC, FOI, the number of fossil fuel projects, the multinationals not paying tax, not funding research etc

Chris Bowen bagging the coalition on coal? He doesn't mention how many coal mines have been given the go-ahead by Labor. But that would spoil his message.
Fact is, there's no real difference between the two parties. Even Albo's smile is starting to look like Scomo's smirk or is that just me?

The issue of the times at the moment seems to be social cohesion. Meantime, our representatives provide no example with their behaviour in and out of parliament.

Remember that wonderful day when the Coalition was voted out and things looked so clean and new and hopeful?

Look, @albomp, you probably wouldn’t pass a working with children check because you’ve been rubbing shoulders with and sucking up to a crook who has raped women and protects pedophiles. Until you distance yourself from him please don’t go near our schools. Or am I being too harsh?

Makes one sick. There's an ABC program on, or soon to be on, where these hypocrites talk about Australia's "democracy" and parliamentary systems.
Honestly, how could anyone bear to listen to them
