This's ALL about 'what Barnaby wants'.
If ever there was a salient reminder about the need for the criteria that MUST be met before a candidate can run for the Sen8 to undergo a serious review - this ticks all those boxes.
Our upper house - already riddled with enough low IQers.

Albanese's Labor hasn’t just abandoned its values, it has sold off the last scraps of hope people had in them. They talk like Whitlam and govern like Chevron. The real tragedy? Millions still cling to them because the alternative is even worse.

Uber/Lyft, Airbnb, doordash, and all the other such predatory corporate schemes not only fail to solve problems, they actually exacerbate the problems they claim to fix.
Don’t forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion.
So much for “making cities better…”
