So CBA committed 1000's of crimes on Terrorism and Drug Money Laundering, and their penalty is to given a book report to read. Also, the man in charge of the arm of the bank, is now in charge of the Bank, a clear promotion for a job well done. The Market rewarded them too (which presumably is going to his bonus as well).

Here's an idea,

Lets gently caress off council elections and make local governments public servants who we can sack when we identify corruption

Sure the Liberals won't do it, but it'll stop half the countries councils being run by rent seeking shitheels

Hate to be the one to break this to you but the entire lower tier of government is universally corrupt to the core.

Corrupt as gently caress, one might say if pressed for words of eloquence.

It's all jobs for relos, deals for mates and exploits with inside information.

In the old internet days, the furries were a target of ridicule because their sexual fetish was absurd.

These days it is tame in comparison to the poo poo that people loudly and vocally get off to.

Simultaneously, as we've gotten older, we've realised that who really gives a gently caress what people get off to so long as the people they're doing it with are consensual.

Trans people are fine

Furries are fine
