I hate that the lnp can rob an entire generation with changes to education, housing, welfare etc and they need not do any public consulting or face much scrutiny, even if they were elected on promises not to make cuts to those areas. But if you try to stop giving public funding to a few thousand already wealthy old folk it will turn into a big enough deal to be considered a somewhat risky political maneuver.

Agreedo. Labor would be unelectable if they did half the corrupt poo poo that has been discovered about the LNP since they got in. The polls narrowing in this context is disgraceful. The deck will always be stacked each and every election as long as Murdoch and others can pillory the ALP over nothing and sweep LNP scandals under the rug. Dutton isn't even eligible for his own job ffs.

Rudd only after he left office has stated that he needed to hit NewsCorp hard while he had the power to do so. If only he had this realisation earlier.

-Impacted by climate change in a major way with current flooding and fires and wildlife die-off. This is compounded by a general ignoring or out right disbelief in the issue.

I'd have to find a decent source (on the move and phone posting so I can't now) but I think the public belief in and acceptance of climate change in general is pretty high. It's more that the politicians aren't really doing anything radical about it for a mix of reasons. I'd wager that the percentage of genuine climate change deniers is higher in parliament than the general public.

Oh also I was at Brunetti on Flinders Lane today and I saw Tony Abbott, blue tie and all.

Shame this didn't happen 12 months ago. NAB could have bought some of our athletes credibility like they did when Frank Cicutto fell on his sword.

My theory is that at the time he ate the onion he was in the midst of a mental breakdown or wolf of wall street style drug binge. Sure, he is always weird by normal person standards, but in tory land he is pretty bland, only differentiating himself by the viciousness of his assholery rather than by eccentricity.

Around that time he was getting real weird, like when he just angrily stared and mouth breathed instead of answering that reporter. He had made it to the peak he spent most of his life trying to reach, only to flail around and start sinking almost immediately. His particular brand of poo poo personality can't make it to the top without going all tony montana style crazy.

My theory on that is that his mind was being rent apart by the cognitive dissonance between the part of his brain that had been telling him for 20+ years that he was born to rule, and the part that had begun to realise that he lacked some of the critical skills required to actually do it.

As soon as he recovered from being knifed, the former part took over again, and he alone in his party has forgotten how poo poo he was at the job.
