I shoulda just posted this. A timely reminder (swap posting/sharing for retweeting).

The most uncritical thing here is Trioli's bourgeois take.

Hello 🇦🇺 are you listening? #auspol

If the Albanese Government listened to our civil society they way they listen to FM radio hosts, News Corp and whichever stupid American cunt is waving his book around this week maybe we'd have a serious government with a mature attitude to reform. We do not.

My childhood in SA was filled with admiration for #auspol Labor leaders like Don Dunstan and Gough Whitlam. But I doubt you'll be taking the current generation back to that either.

It might give Murdoch peace of mind that he can still shape gov policy. But if you want give current teens 'back' my pre-social-media childhood, they can fill their heads with endless repeats of Gilligan's Island, Hogan's Heroes, Get Smart, Blanketty Blanks, Kingswood Country etc.

Same. And so it begins for all the over-16s...just a little bit of face recognition here, document upload there. To some unverifiable verifier who says, "We'll look after your data. Promise!"
