Good. But a pity that Labor's position on appointments to the
#NACC
reflects their broader approach to transparency and integrity for the anti-corruption body.

Just remember - Moira Deeming's bs is supported by many in the Victorian Liberal Party. I remember a cartoon of Jeff Kennett with his foot in his mouth - I reckon most of the party is now infected

Idk who needs to hear this, but there is no "gender war". Women didn't try to take away men's right to vote, to education, or for property. Women don't write laws that control a man's body. Women didn't built systems that strip men of their any freedoms. This injustice does not go both ways.

The RNC thought it had found a new way to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of lawful voters. It spent millions building a case in an attempt to use disenfranchisement as a systematic tool to gain partisan advantage.
