Hard-right conservatives do understand that socks go on before shoes, and undies before pants, but thought processes are seriously deficient.

PM’s hypocritical, chilling brand of ethical abandonment.
Albanese announces shadowy figure – out-and-out crook – from the darker, seamier side of Labor politics to be honoured with state funeral.
