I thought the discussion of Sean Kelly's Quarterly on Labor missed Labor being in the pockets of BIG fossil fuel, gambling, salmon, etc. Blame it on "personality", "caution", "MSM" or whatever - Canada and UK govts are the same

πŸ’°πŸ’° is the reason and global capitalists have won IMHO! #auspol #TheShot

When I say that #NeoLiberalism has destroyed #Universities globally. This is exactly what I mean. #Managerialism means CEOs are paid millions while academic staff languish in poverty.

β€œTo call this a peace plan is absurd. It’s more western colonialism.

The fed Libs pay too much attention to Sky which are telling them they’d better do something to counter a huge exodus of voters to ON.
Go for it I say!
Stay irrelevant.
As far as state Libs go, β€˜good leader’ = best bullshitter. Still terrible.

Lucy doing more unmasking; naming names πŸ‘

'NatCon ideology tends to position itself against anything that can be labelled β€œwoke” which includes existing in public as anything other than a very conservative cishet man. In accordance, Ryan hosts terfs, pronatalists and traditional family promotion.'

"It is disturbing to find Bob Carr, Judith Brett, ASPI’s Elizabeth Buchanan or The Australian’s Matt Cranston in such company. Alongside political figures, their presence serves to normalise Ryan’s enterprise & attract a more traditional conservative audience"

Beach walking at sunset is not very calming when the local beach has 100000s of dead and dying fish. The impact of the algae bloom in South Australia continues to be devastating for marine life 😿
