This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

No saving the Coalition – and that should be a warning to Labor
Labor is trying to present itself as the adult in the room, by pointing to the opposition's tantrums. That’s not governing, it’s babysitting.

Homo Sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago.
Imagine you gave an early Sapiens $9,000. And they looked at you and said “the fuck is this?”
But anyway, you piled up $9,000 Every Single Day since the first Sapiens walked the Earth.
You still wouldn’t have a trillion dollars.

Postponed childbearing, exit from the workforce and other consequences will reduce the relative size of the economy’s productive sector, ultimately exacerbating the problem to the point of disaster.
Taking from the young, giving to the old: How our tax system is letting us down
Australians are retiring with unprecedented levels of wealth. This wealth, which is primarily held in housing, investment properties and superannuation, allows retirees to draw incomes to support their retirement.
