Now we know why ol' "Winkie" was retained in her high-paying role by the current government.
That is: she can be relied on to hide and obfuscate for any major party. #AusPol

A little accountability for managerial incompetence would be nice. #AusPol

Turnbull was such a disappointing Prime Minister.
After all his fine speeches, turned out to be an empty suit.

Adults from red states who've lost their jobs, amassed debts, can't feed their families or afford health care, fed BS nightly by Fox, offered hefty sign-on bonuses to take out their frustrations on the people they blame for their woes.
MAGA has the perfect fascist recruitment system going.

ICE guy sprays his fellow ICE goons.
ICE goon immediately aims his assault rifle at *citizen's* car.

I was mostly paid to do it for years.
Now I work for myself and mostly say no to clients who want me to do it - I have a kind of PTSD about long flights, jet lag, being away from family, etc.
We can claim the cost as a tax deduction against our income but I realise it's not as good as being paid.

Very good advice.
Today on Reddit I got downvoted x100 for pointing out that an image showing a rightwing misdeed had actually been faked. I even explained how it had been faked and how others could verify that for themselves.
Posting disinfo helps evil people shelter behind "both sides" excuses.

Not sure if you'll consider it as analogous, but as an international business person I was regularly required to travel to multiple countries to attend meetings.
I didn't enjoy it, but it was that or find another job that didn't require it.

I have an alternative theory...

Alternative Theory: "The Liberal Party being utter shit at governing caused them to take a record beating at the polls".

Fuck Mitch McConnell. All that has transpired is squarely on HIM.

Our age may be common, but our excellent musical taste is not!

Sussan Ley increasingly resembles Peter Dutton in Drag.

Reminder that many Australians have wound their clocks forward.
Except for those in the Liberal Party, who are still winding their clocks back 20 years.

Good point.

We have remarkably similar taste in music.

Or my song:
🎵 "She was a film star, I played guitar
When she was married I longed from afar
As soon as I met her my jeans became pitched
So when she stopped Cruisin' our wagons got hitched
But life on the road takes its toll on a couple
Especially when bandmates are young and more supple."🎵

Nah. Where I live all the tradies would be permanently off their faces, and so there'd be no hemp left to build with.

I think it's called "cyber" because it's supposed to look like it comes from a computer game.
Questionable looks aside, it fails on most of the other metrics you'd want in a utility vehicle.
Like Musk, it's not what it was claimed to be.

Andrew Hastie calls media conference to confirm that Sussan Ley's party leadership is "definitely, very much, still" alive.
