That’s what you get with non compulsory voting and a first past the post system.

He is the worst of them. Never had a real job outside the political sphere. We need term limits to stop these career politicians

Nah, if you can’t close out a 16 point lead with 14 minutes to go they have nobody to blame but themselves

Not when you look at the total lack of quality this vocation attracts. I would be happy to increase the numbers if term limits were also introduced.

Can’t think of many situations where adding numbers deepens the talent pool. I would suggest term limits would be a better solution. Too many politicians are career politicians

The writing is first class. As good as Last Week Tonight with a tiny fraction of the resources. @mitchmctaggart.bsky.social is a national treasure

This is a cracking series. The only must watch Australian TV available.

It’s the Club World Cup, not the World Cup

Interesting take. That would also mean the multi million dollar winner of the Australian Open tennis would receive a tax exemption for their prize.

If you are new to this I would strongly recommend Phil Dickie’s book - The Road To Fitzgerald

Love Richard but it is distracting. Quote of the doco “he wrote the blueprint for Trump”. Just like in the day, the doco totally underestimates Joh. He was a master media manipulator, not a bumbling idiot.

Let’s be absolutely clear. Aaron Woods only made those comments because he is trying to generate interest in his low rating radio show.

Let’s see the demand in full. The US is demanding we give them an extra $40 billion a year.

In all fairness that is a massive oversimplification. There are a range of issues that got them to this point. It’s also worth acknowledging they did win elections during that tome.

The silly thing is he has sold his soul for power and received no power in return. He sold his soul to be told what to do by Trump. He has no influence, he is a limp figurehead

This is a terrible idea

Shyster & Shyster @shystershyster.bsky.social · May 7

I think they should adopt The Traitors model. Make them do missions during the day to win elimination shields to protect their eviction from the Conclave. Feels like a missed opportunity
