Dare to chant "From the River to the Sea" in a crowd of thousands and you make headlines in every newspaper for a week. Meanwhile throw an actual bomb into a crowd on Invasion Day and you're a footnote to a wannabe Nazi using racial slurs.

The Nats no longer serve any useful democratic function. They donβt represent farmers or any regional populations. Long since become the party of giant mining interests.
Regional independents have taken on the mantle of actual representation.

A red circle is around Adelaideβs temperature, which has a yellow warning icon with a black exclamation sign in one column, a bright yellow sun icon in the next and the final column says 43Β°

Just something to remember when youβre considering putting it in your mouth next time.
Ps did you know that TAS salmon is pumped with untested antibiotics, and that the flesh you eat would be grey if they didnβt put orange food dye in the fish feed?
Now you do.
Almost all salmon in Australia is from Tasmania, and the industry there is essentially unregulated - and dangerously unhealthy.
Do not eat it.

Despite there being abundant evidence to contradict the repulsive Noem, her words are reported uncritically, in line with the apparent belief that presenting a lie alongside the truth and calling both βnarrativesβ has anything to do with journalism.
