He is a fool. Ego driven one eyed. He had a fantastic mandate to move australia to a wonderful new better cleaner more honest place. Instead is was the same old selfish pollie who keeps more secrets than the one that fled the fires!!

Prime example: I was just reading an article on Vietnam and how climate change is impacting poor villages. It is the greatest shame that rich people aren't impacted first with their houses and livelihoods being destroyed, then something might get done about climate change.

The character flaws of the poorest among us affect only them and those close to them.

The character flaws of the richest among us affect everyone.

To be fair to NSW Police, it’s tough to find the time to turn back neo-Nazis when you have you hands full strip-searching teenage girls

What we just witnessed was state-sanctioned Nazism What on earth did the NSW Police think a rally organised by the National Socialist Network would be about?

How was this allowed to happen?https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/what-we-just-witnessed-was-state-sanctioned-nazism-20251110-p5n905.html

Yep, Saturday in Melbourne was the coldest November day since 1913

Expected cold and wet, maybe even snow for VIC and TAS, for the rest of the month

Then next year we are expecting a drought year, so enjoy it

Exactly. They don’t. Time for actual qualifications and guardrails to be attached to these vital jobs!!
Look at the independents- all accomplished qualified people who have a proven success record. They are all making great impact: asking vital questions & bringing about change!

Yes bit they know that they are not in lock step with the general public. They won’t put themselves in a position to have it used against them.
