Why the gently caress not? We’ve locked up 600 people in a concentration camp for 5 years. That’s some Donald Trump poo poo and it’s completely at odds with the rest of this compassionate country. It should be on everyone’s lips, but people ignore it. The refugee groups I follow have barely any engagement and the issue is ignored by everyone. Now the focus is on sick kids, but everyone needs to get out of those camps. It’s disgusting!

Is there anything I, a mentally ill broke shut-in with no people or legal skills, can do to help?

Mm yes, 5 years, those naughty Liberals

The bible thumpers flip Liberal though. Sorry to always realpolitik but that's why this stupid poo poo happens every loving time, even if there's no real statistical reason or data.

like "hey nah, I reckon the shoppies will be pissed about this and start fracturing us, but also I reckon it will play well with povvo micks, yeah roll it out what's the worst that can happen" is ALP policy making 101.

I don't know about where you are, but it generally costs more to fill up on a thursday/friday anyway, as they know that's when a lot of people get paid.

The Guardian Link Above posted:

Prominent rural advocates have become increasingly vocal over a potential return of Barnaby Joyce to the National party leadership as the prospect of a concerted independent push in rural areas gains momentum after the Wentworth byelection.

A nascent political movement, Anyone But Nats, has started to run advertising across northern NSW ahead of the 2019 state and federal elections. It has been funded by the IT businessman, Charles Tym, whose family has donated $20,000 to fund 400 advertising spots across regional television stations.

Tym, who donated to Tony Abbott’s 2013 election campaign, describes himself as a “rank novice” in politics who was formerly a “mad Liberal party voter” but now is supporting candidates who are against coal seam gas and want progress on climate change.

“It was climate change that tipped me over and Abbott in particular. He’s done everything over the last few years to stymie progress on climate change and the Nats won’t stand up for their constituents and stand up for what they want because they are in the thrall of mining companies,” Tym told Guardian Australia.
