The problem with 21st century politics and government is the extreme lack of consequences for lying, sedition, and corruption.
It's, so often, clearly documented and evidenced, but nothing happens.
Even in NZ, our MPs are treated me harshly for accusing another of lying than for actually lying.

Hopkins is right, merry go round legislation is bad for the country.
Hopkins is woefully terribly wrong, appeasing destructive legislation to look conciliatory.

And of course the arseholes in the New Zealand Government are going to do the same.
The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

It's weird how all the studies show that a 4-day week and UBI makes societies wealthier, more productive, and happier, but the RW govt types keep insisting on unemployment, austerity, longer hours, and shit labour rights

If I behaved in work meetings like this I would be severely reprimanded, or sacked. Cut his fucking pay, or something, if he can't answer straight forward questions without being a cunt.
And the award for the worst performance of projection, goes to David Seymour.
"That's a performance! You're just doing a political performance!" Said the politician, performing like a spoiled child getting asked a simple question...
People vote for this idiot? What's in the water in Epsom?
