Better. We have lord Rupert, and a complete and total media blackout on alternate opinions. The ABC, our public broadcaster, is run by the sitting government. Liberal Fairfax has a board stacked with formal Liberal party members and sycophants Newscorp is option 3. Its fucking horrid. You get one take, blasted at you from all angles. During election years the number of negative articles against labor and liberal sits at crazy numbers like 50-3, and positive articles like 100-10. No one is talking about the sexual assaults that occurred, just like no one spoke about sports rorts, the ruby princess disaster, the NSW land clearing and the fact that Koalas are 20 years from extinction as a result, and the fact that the NSW premier was caught fucking a corrupt official, directly using her influence to aid some of his illegal dealings and lying to the anti corruption committee about it was spun into "she shouldn't have to apologize for being in love" I'd have them up against the wall if they were lucky for treason personally. Piano wire more likely. It's a government that no longer even attempts to support the nation. At all. Not even in a misguided way. It's entirely about appeasing donors and their masters.

So.... late on the 24th of February I joined the parenting club. Thought maybe we could have a thread offering advice/crying/rejoicing or letting off steam

also if the minimum wage were higher, penalty rates protected, and workers given more rights, maybe people wouldnt find the dole so appealing. imagine working a shit go nowhere job for the same cash as the dole over a month.people always say ‘there are so many jobs!’ but never take into account hours, casual, availability, transport, etc.

it is to prevent a biased judge/jury, if the guy’s name is run through the mud for six months before the trial, the judge can throw out the case due to it being influenced via the media, that is why child rapist pell is a free man, his lawyers drummed up a case he wasn’t ‘given a fair go’. if anything the fact we dont ‘officially’ know who it is right now, could be a good thing ps fuck the nationals, they get off light @Devil-Dick Willie @Harry @Toinho

If only they could practice what they preach, eh? I remember Nadine Dorries meeting with Johnson and attending (full) parliament while she was awaiting results from a COVID test this time last year

Orion Nebula, one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and the closest massive star formation region to Earth. 18 images, 30 min exposure each (9 hours in total).

Isn't Tony Abbott the one who was hired by the UK government to advise on trade or something? There was a bit of a kerfuffle because of his chauvinistic comments in the past? This lot just fronted it out though and the media just forgot about it after a day or two.

Fully deserved. In his own words the best week of his career.

This is why I outright attacked you for dissing labor. This countries politics is absolutely fucked.
