Here's what'll happen. Labor will get its lowest ever primary vote at the next election. "Centrist" rusted-ons will blame lefties, instead of themselves, because liberalism is political narcissism drenched in sanctimony, and shit will just keep getting worse.

Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.

The average value of a first home buyer home loan is now 12% higher than it was a year ago. Given wage growth in the past year has been about 3.4%, that means the cost of buying a first home has deteriorated at a terrible pace.

State police were founded to round up and kill my people. Australia is still a dinky little colony and media has been protecting cops since colonisation.
I very genuinely do not think that Australia's media industry can be classified as any other than fully supportive of police violence, because you have to actively, consciously and knowingly work to frame what happened as general "violence mars protests" rather than "police violently attack protest"
