When politicians have a duty of care to their sponsors.. .
I really wonder why they are wasting the massive mandate they've been given by the people .
The right extremist are given more oxigine. Albo needs to level now. We cannot wait for his all revealing biography to reveal his obstacles.

Last weeks march for Palestine in Sydney. Police estimate 90,000 people turned up for the event. Organisers put that figure much higher, at between 200,000 and 300,000 people. That’s despite the heavy rain, with Sydney recording 16mm since 9am. (Source: Sydney Morning Herald)

One suggestion: Next time US citizens go to the ballot box, could they please be accompanied by an adult please? The rest of the world will thank you for it.

‘Pollutocrat Day’: The richest 1% have already burnt through their annual carbon budget, Oxfam says. The future of our planet is hanging by a thread. The margin for action is razor-thin, yet the super-rich continue to squander humanity’s chances with their polluting stock portfolios says Oxfam...

Divide or unite?
