The Liberal party now only holds two seats previously held by its leaders - Wannon (Fraser) and Cook (Morrison). Voters comprehensively rejected it. The question is - will Labor?

Australia rejected the right's agenda, we'll see if Labor do the same
We are about to find out whether the Labor government has the bravery to govern without the approval of right-wingers.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

A few months ago the Murdoch media didn't seem too happy about taxpayer-funded lunches.
And that was for schoolkids.

Just something to keep in mind.

Opening BlueSky every day is like being a kid on Christmas morning. Happiness & excitement in the air, general feeling of goodwill to all, and each of my favourite accounts from “that other place” that make the move across feels like finding another present under the tree.
