It was just missing Annabel Crabb.
Poorline and Barnabus on the telly eating a Family Court Dad Meal Deal cooked in an office kitchenette is somehow the Platonic form of our media-political culture: vile idiots doing dumb things given publicity about nothing.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

The AFR is having another go at the Vic budget (it's a fav target of a few media outlets/journos, who seem unable to cope even though Dan is no longer in power). David Richardson points out a few errors in their coverage #PointLive
