You're definitely not alone mate. This government has learnt nothing from Robodebt, cobbled the NACC so they can implement Robodebt 2.0

No better than Morrison. The good work that the ALP gets done is entirely overshadowed by how little they have done for our most vulnerable

Well done @australianlabor.bsky.social
You’re once again excelling at monstrous, sneaky, mean spirited behaviour that has never been warranted or successful in any functioning society.
You disgust me. And I suspect I’m not alone in feeling this way.

We all need to say this very clearly:

Expropriate their asses instead.

The @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social has given Tony Abbott a chance to explain his bizarre behaviour from a 2011 interview.
Does anyone GAF? A 14 year old interview and the ABC amplifying a voice of someone who caused and is causing so much damage.
