Why not get down to work like everyone else has to and stop being so far up themselves?

It's always money with the Lib/Labs.

It's money all the way down.

This has Anthony's fingerprints all over it.

Just as childishly vindictive as tRump.

How sporting and what a contribution to social cohesion.

Trump wants regime change in Venezuela because look how well it turned out last time.

Venezuela is a narco state, or they have WMD or maybe they are Hamas.

In completely unrelated news Venezuela has the world's largest known oil reserves.

The next big conflict will be fought over water.

The following ones will be fought with clubs.

I can't fault you there.

Cruelty to the sick and the vulnerable is the price we pay for subs that will never be delivered.

Nevermind I'm sure Anthony will get along well with the peadophile.

Having a look at Robotdebt V 2 I think we have some goodies ahead.

It's quite possible that we have dejection, letdown and disillusionment to come.

I'm disappointed that we had nothing to expect but disappointment.

For years and years now we have had ministers against the environment.

Labor is the party of Capital.

It's always punching people down and not lifting people up.

Watt a bitter disappointment.

If promoting international hate/vomit and supporting the worst political, social and environmental practices is success give me failure.

Labor wanted to bash unions - they turned to the enemies of the working class.

They wanted a useless secretive corruption commission - turned to the specialists in government secrecy.

Now they want anti environment laws so they turn to the planet fryers. #Lib/Lab

I manage my preparations in under fifteen hours but I probably cut a few corners.

This is the organisation that hacked a dead girl's phone account preaching ethics.

It's not the effect on young people that troubles them, it's the competition.

This is quite delicious really.

In the end it will be AI all the way down.

Won't it be nice when we are all part of a formless, bland social amalgam?

We could be sent approved opinions by SMS every morning.

If you substitute 'group think' for 'social cohesion' you get a clear idea of where we are heading.

Not that size matters in the least, of course.

The level of government secrecy is in direct proportion to the amount that must be hidden.

Transparency is only a priority when in opposition.

Whenever I see the name 'Tudge' I can't help thinking of a very small male organ.

I'm deeply ashamed of this immaturity but I can't help feeling that it's particularly appropriate for Tudge himself.

A man who is very small on the inside.

It's time to acknowledge that Newscorpse is a spent force.

No ethical government would fail to do that which they know to be right for fear of criticism.

The majority of Australians want a more equitable society.

Exactly.

There's no housing crisis.

No mass immigration crisis.

We do have a greed crisis though, and with a government committed to serving capital rather than people the gaps just keep on getting bigger.
