Don't forget how Jacqui Lambie was in every political party under the sun until finally landing a seat with PUP (and rapidly becoming independent). Some people just want to be in power, regardless of party.

Even Thatcher had decent views on climate change. loving Thatcher.

Only because she realised the financial implications of not recognising climate change, rather than the damage to the planet.

Yeah, there's a former real estate dude in my area who's been associated with the Democrats, then Independent, then the Liberals trying to get seats in either the local council or state parliament

Wouldn't surprise me if some Young Liberal annoyed Kitching and so she decided to join Labor out of spite.

Like how Joe Hockey was motivated because of someone in the USyd SRC wasn't nice enough to him when he wanted a free movie ticket.

Wasn't Abbott gunning for a Labor party ticket while at Uni until one of his mates convinced him that he'd have an easier time getting noticed in the much smaller and less radical Liberal group?

Knowing Abbott it was probably the DLP he was going for, but that party hasn't been the same since Bob Santamaria died.

Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff is a good podcast listen.

I cannot recommend this enough! Also, his partner Dr. Harriet Fraad has started a new podcast called Capitalism Hits Home, which focuses on how capitalism affects our family relationships, mental health etc. If you like Economic Update, give Capitalism Hits Home a listen, too.

I thought this was going to be a chinese lantern or something, but no, its literally just a lamp post, made in China, that the CEO maliciously installed outside Alan Jones' toaster house in order to prevent public injuries.

Alan Jones literally wants the Opera house all to himself as a piece of untouched landscape in the view from his apartment. he does not give a single blue gently caress about it beyond the fact he wants to see it from his house, with no people near it ever.

I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies. I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs. My brain hurt like a warehouse, I had no room to spare. I had to cram so many things to store everything in there.
