My point exactly.
JOIN YOUR UNION people bray...
to what end? You're getting the same thing you just had:

Exactly! The Zionist Lobby, and the American administration and the government is on their knees to them.

Every time some buffoon bangs on about interest rates under Keating, I remind them of the 21.4% when Howard was Treasurer.

It's our national shame. Nobody should be living below the poverty line in Australia in 2025. It's fucking obscene.

If only we had a Labor govt with a huge majority in government that had the courage to raise benefits to a living wage again ?

No Labor govt since has dared to have a suite of policies as progressive.

That was one of the most damaging consequences of that atrocious act, and it is unforgivable.

I still maintain my rage.

It was broadly accepted that if the G-G sacked the government, it must be for good reason. No smoke without fire, etc.

So a suspicion was sown in the electorate's psyche. Many agreed with Whitlam's program, but the catch cry was "too much, too quickly", and from then on, Labor has been cowed.

I wasn't yet eligible to vote (my first election was '77, Gough's last attempt), but I well remember the attitude (fanned of course by conservative media) of many people who didn't understand the Constitutional issues or recognise the machiavellian plotting by Fraser, Kerr and Barwick...

POV: Someone (white woman blue maga liberal named krystal ball) who used to cohost a show with an ex-CIA officer is telling you it's no big deal if a blackwater mercenary and closet nazi, in a bourgeois imperialist party, has a literal nazi tattoo. American blue maga love their nazis, hahaha! Wtf?!!
