Turnbull is already taking credit for SSM and if he keeps doing it hard enough for long enough he will hold that credit for a long time thanks to his brave stance against the lunatic right of the Liberals.

Art Deco owns as well. The best part of art deco is looking at American (like specifically Floridian examples around Coral Gables) versus European structures. America was always bad irl.

The style most people are thinking of is called Art Moderne which does away with a lot of the ornamental and ostentatious accents that Art Deco used. Art Deco was typically used for civic and public buildings like the theatre and very rarely in residential projects or small scale commercial buildings

edit: scratch that, Frecklington has convinced Mander to run on a joint ticket. Frecklington as OL and Mander as Deputy. I doubt anyone will challenge that arrangement.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Yes i too like buildings that need constant repairs due to being water porous to prevent roofs collapsing that look like Mussolini's wet dream and a style that exists only for architects who were showing off "look how cool and precise my geometry is".
