Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Whitlam’s legacy is one of possibility and hope. He showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like.
Whitlam showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like. And 50 years later, you have to wonder – is it even possible to make Australia brave again?

I'm boring & repetitive but The Emperor Has No Clothes:
'The CPSU has said Australia’s employment services system are “a complete failure”'; they're not. They generate incomes (profits) for private owners. That's a success. It's both the intent and effect of privatisation.

Every time I don’t think Auspol can get any stupider, I get proven wrong. A national conversation over whether the PM should apologise for wearing a t-shirt featuring a very popular band that’s been around for decades because of its name, is stupid, stupid, even for us

Yep. When I left Murdoch and became a (then) unemployed freelancer, yes, I went on 'the dole' for a while.
I had to sign up for a Sarina Russo job agency and meet the mutual obligations crap. So we saw an opportunity to both 'flip the script' and continue being a journo.

Jim Chalmers' super tax compromise proves Labor is a party that's in office, but not in power
Labor has finally capped superannuation tax concessions, but still given in to a scare campaign waged by vested interests. It's the sign of a timid government worried about a giant industry.

In every meeting with the government, we've stressed that statements that imply Jewish lives matter more than Palestinian lives are likely to inflame tension and spur on radicalisation. Why are 1200 lives more valuable than 60,000 (the official count) or 500,000 (the true count)?
