When you have those absolute parasites at the Reserve Bank deciding how much money their banking mates want to siphon out of their customers while offering worse service.

Politicians have always hidden behind children........
Instead of education they ban....
Doing corporate media's bidding.
If they want to protect the kids break up the catholic church - proven to be a haven for predators.

The press gallery muppets are the ones responsible for this shite......
Always looking for the next outrage then inserting themselves into the story.
Corporate media (which The Guardian is part of) is just compromised tabloid rubbish

I remember Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) and the need to put labels on music these pearl clutchers did not like........
Or further back to the 17th century and the outcry of the youth reading books.
More performative politics straight out of Yes Minister.
