If you wake up many days with a degree of dread, even though by all accounts, you're living a good life.
It's most likely because your brain and gut are having difficulty with this masquerading bullshit used by our politicians that they label social cohesion while themselves breaking it.

My latest article in The Shot

"The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club"

FOR EURYDICE 🕊️

We remember Eurydice Dixon, who would have turned 30 last week.

In the eight years since her murder, 719 women and children have also been murdered.

We must all fight harder for change.

Coincidence?

👉IPA & Advance advocate abandonment of net zero by 2050.
👉LNP abandons net zero by 2050
👉LNP supports taxpayer-funded new coal-fired power stations

👉Gina Rinehart is a life member of IPA
👉Gina Rinehart is a significant LNP donor
👉Gina Rinehart is managing director of Hancock Coal

Regardless, he needs to be deported, bloody immigrant
One of the 60 neo-Nazis who attended the National Socialist Network rally in Sydney has only lived in Australia for three years.
He's a civil engineer with Aurecon, likely on a skilled visa requiring employer sponsorship.

📌Everything Megyn Kelly says and does is to win the adoration of sickening, dangerous men who have spent their miserable lifetimes abusing girls and women -- like Megyn Kelly.
Get the help you need, Megyn, because you are putting a lot of girls in danger with your grotesque advocacy of rape.

The people on the Epstein list did not "have sex" with minors; they RAPED THEM.

More specifically: they raped CHILDREN.

Hey Murray Watts that's not how negotiations work you arrogant fuck.

You sit down at a table, and you argue your case. Your case is weak at best.

Get your arse in a room and explain how exactly it all works, convince people.

I'll say one thing and anyone from the Greens listening let's not make the penalty a fixed amount, but up to 4% of global turnover sounds sweet.
