Was going to ask about the smoke. Maybe I'll wait until the morning.

Hello comrade. You'll enjoy this classic from 1913.
Labour Government in Australia The parliamentary elections took place in Australia recently. The Labour Party, which had the majority in the Lower House, having forty-four seats out of seventy-five, suffered defeat. Now it only has thirty-six seats out of seventy-five. The majority has passed to the Liberals, but this majority is very unstable, because in the Upper House, thirty out of the thirty-six seats are occupied by Labour. What a peculiar capitalist country is this in which Labour 1 predominates in the Upper House and recently predominated in the Lower House and yet the capitalist system does not suffer any danger! An English correspondent of a German Labour newspaper recently explained this circumstance, which is very often misrepresented by bourgeois writers. The Australian Labour Party does not even claim to be a Socialist Party. As a matter of fact it is a liberal-bourgeois party, and the so-called Liberals in Australia are really Conservatives.

TLDR; our professional politicians now longer represent us. They've been bought by lobbyists and special interest groups.

And the really sad thing is, it didn't cost much.

There was an article written a few years ago in The Saturday Paper/The Monthly describing how our professional politicians are far more conservative than mainstream Australia across a raft of issues : assisted dying, abortion, fossil fuels, same-sex marriage etc.

I'll try and dig it up.

The left has known this forever. It's the centrist neo-lib stooges masquerading as 'leftists' that are the problem.

CUT GOT ANT TAPE NEAR YOUR COMPUTER 03 TYI BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK 1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong. 2. Don't trust anonymous sources. 3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 4. There's almost never a second shooter. 5. Pay attention to the language the media uses. • "We are getting reports"... could mean anything. • "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it. • "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on

JOURNALISM 101: "If someone says it's raining & another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true"
