The delightful thing about social media is that BOTH the gun nerds AND the TTRPG nerds are in the comments.

PM Albanese’s culture of secrecy, in three charts If he doesn’t change course, the Prime Minister may end up leading exactly the kind of 'shadow government' that he derided his predecessor for.
