“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”

Labor and the Liberal party appeal to these racist myths because it works - because there is a widespread and baked-in xenophobia among the voters for both parties, and because these gross lies benefit both bigoted politicians and the landlord class in one go

Australia's major parties would rather kill off our 3rd biggest export market for a dog whistle policy than to limit negative gearing or invest in public housing
Utterly moronic decision-making by BOTH duopoly parties - sacrificing the hugely important education sector when it should be thriving, all because they’re incapable of tough decisions on real estate investment rorts.
Cutting students is not the solution to housing.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

I won’t be gaslit over Trump. If you suck up to him, you will get more bullying
When I was prime minister, I was told not to stand up to Donald Trump. I was told to flatter him, offer him things. I didn’t do that, and I achieved very good outcomes for Australia.
