With a huge international event unfolding, obviously the best thing for you to do here in Australia is to repost all sorts of random shit that you haven’t actually read. Seriously, you cunts are the core problem here. Just go to bed and read proper news in the morning. It’s not relevant to us now.

The reasons the opposition wants a royal commission and the reasons the government doesn’t want a royal commission are equidistant from rationality, quite an achievement really
