Not withstanding the general idiocy of this latest thin skinned rant from the low IQ child rapist, if you are calling Noah poor then how are you going to sue him for plenty?

Given that the govt refuses to do anything about climate change I demand that we nationalise the energy sector and give people free electricity (free air conditioning) to survive the impending heat crisis they created.

Just so we are clear, the #EpsteinFiles Clive Palmer revelations are an indication of TREASON.
If true, Clive Palmer engaged in misinformation of Australian citizens in an attempt to impact an election on behalf of the interests of a foreign nation.

The interesting thing here is that the big One Nation supporters are the type of person who already owns a house. It's not "immigrants are taking our houses" and more straight racism. It's clear that house prices are unafforable but as their house is most of their wealth, they resist lowering them.
