It's WWE politics. They go out and slam each other on padded floors to amuse the punters and then go out the back, have a beer together and laugh at the public.

My condemnation of plibersek was in the same sentence condemning two males so the common factor is their utter failure to protect our environment and clearly not gender. As I said i don’t know enough about Garrett to either condemn or otherwise.

Agree totally. To get climate action in SA we had better vote @greens.org.au or independents. Everyone else seems addicted to #FossilFuels profits. Disaster here. #auspol

Fix the symptoms, or, maybe how about our pro gas business premier Malanauskis (and his brother who works for SANTOS) stop heating ALL the oceans by burning fossil fuel. Voting soon SA, your lives depend on your choice!

Further point - I think the duopoly is our problem. The two party structure and what it does to us voters (and possibly participants if you care) is now the enemy we must destroy. The perversion of the political system by their self serving campaign finance changes means we have to burn it all down.

Few reasons. I wasnt as active then and have less knowledge. It's history and doesnt really matter, our problems are now and the current govt is the one I care about. I didn't mention him so he really hasn't escaped censure anyway.

I'm not inclined to allow victimhood and passive failure at certain levels of superiority (and pay)- She owns what she did and on that salary if she wasn't happy with what she was asked to do I expect her to do something, anything other than being compliant. I guess like any senior exec.

If you say to yourself "nest" when you read "best" it makes more sense.

They sometimes stay on the best in traffic islands. Used to be a famous pair who nested successfully on the triangle right on the corner north and west terrace adelaide.

Clearly someone extorted his soul and honour in that social housing cos it's long gone. The Albo and Watts (nee Plibersek) environmental destruction show

It was so odd - so small you could see through it to houses both sides of the path -

What a terrible story, an indictment of the human race and our supposed stewardship of the wonderful planet we inherited.

Their model is the new capitalism "privatised profits and socialised losses" - ridiculous!

Leo Puglisi from @6newsau.bsky.social gave evidence to the parliamentary inquiry on the social media age ban - I asked him about the real impacts on young people. This isn't about protection, it's about control. You can't lock kids out of news and social connection and call it safety.

Sadly yes and that allows the labor govt to sink to stupendous lows and still be preferable. That’s why I believe the two party system has to be demolished.
