It should be a rule that if you've complained about Victoria's Debt, you shouldn't be allowed to use the City Loop, any of the roads that have had level crossings removed or any of the other freeway improvements. 😎

So the new Mayor of Townsville is a racist, homophobic, gun-toting bogan who thinks DV should be handled by men behind closed doors. 🤦 He also likes marching with Nazis. What a winner! (The Queensland Australia Townsville NOT the power puff girls version)

'But Labor is still looking to the Liberals for approval on policies where it wants the status quo to continue....' Well, yes. Because (i) that's a lesson learnt - progressive Labor policy has been overturned once Labor was out of government because it didn't have bipartisan support.

Anytime i see a person describe the current gov as “weak” or “timid” or words to that effect i completely zone out on any genuine criticism they may have. Its gross language usually used by the biggest sooks to have ever walked the face of the earth.

a true genocide is happening here and has been for 20+ years, does anybody care, seems to me, not. Sudan is closer to us than Gaza. Why is there no protest movement for Darfur, 300K are dead!
