It's almost like Hanson is becoming the type of politician that she always rails against: just there for the benefits and perks, but can't be bothered turning up to committees. Didn't she want Ashby to turn up as her proxy instead of herself for a senate hearing?

Didn't that kind of kick off the Fitzgerald inquiry though? We probably won't be getting a royal commission into political donations as a result of this ep

The Inquiry only happened because Joh was out of the country at the time and the deputy leader started it without Joh's knowledge

Help me out, Latika Bourke used to be a decent journalist, right? I'm not imagining that? I swear I remember her having credibility.

There's no such thing as a decent Australia journalist, especially one who's task is to comment/critique on the political scene.

Holy poo poo Mayne has gone off the rails since his Crikey days. But as I have previously mentioned, he was an ex Liberal Staffer for Kennett, so it shouldn't be too surprising

Yeah, one person.

Meanwhile the rest of the press gallery just parrots whatever the Coalition and occasionally what Labor says. When was the last time a political journo actually asked a politician uncomfortable questions about their portfolio? Why isn't Dutton being dragged through the mud with him running Concentration Camps in off shore locations? How the gently caress is the racist backwards views of that hellbeast Pauline Hanson still given oxygen in the media? Why are the youth the first to get a kicking by our politicians when it comes to budgets cuts and assistance programs, whereas Baby Boomers reap the benefits of our out of control property market? Why isn't Turnbull and Abbott being exposed for their constant lies? Why the gently caress are Murdoch's shitrags and feral right wing commentators able to set the agenda? Why aren't they being called out for their hosed up racist views? Why has the non-Murdoch media, with the exception for some independent media, become some toothless? Where's the left's version of Andrew Bolt?


And why


why


is anything that looks like it could be a social good, be it a raise in basic wage or higher taxes for the rich some sort of Communist plot?

gently caress the political situation in this country. gently caress the Liberal and Labor uni students who step out of their shithouse inward looking club houses straight into either a seat or staffer position in parliament without even getting exposed to the real world. gently caress the minority forcing the political agenda in this country - why when most Australians want same sex marriage and euthanasia we still have a tiny vocal fuckwit bunch stopping it?

If you're building a house don't you also need to either install water tanks or solar panels to pass code these days? Buying a battery on top of that's not too crazy.

The solar panels definitely need to pass code or some sort of regulation. One of my friends is into solar and mentioned that people who put panels on their roofs 10 years ago, but need to pull them off to repoint their tiles or get it painted will find that they can't put them back on because it won't be legal due to today's code.

Close down all private schools, divert money to all public schools, as private schools push the bullshit classism that shouldn't exist in Australia.

And while we're at it, close down all inner city golf courses and turn them into either public parks or low cost housing for people.
