Pine gap, useless $300 bn tribute subs, not updating travel advice for the USA, David McBride. This is but a short list.

Because of when I grew up, my mind simply doesn't register this as an ableist slur, even though intellectually I know it is. It's like the greens don't know that trying to smear their defector doesn't actually make them look good.

I tire of how bad at politics the greens are. Since they're the furthest left party with any seats currently, it would be nice if they knew how to play the game better.

If they took her defection in stride, simply pointing out that she must not really have the same values, could have come across a lot better.

It's not unheard of to call a by-election over something like this. That's what they ought to do in my opinion. That and review training procedures

Funnily enough, this would be a valid vote, under the rules. As long as it's abundantly obvious what the intended order is

They ought to join their union, though I wonder if NTEU will backup their words with strikes in solidarity if these changes aren't reversed:

Any educator who doesn't leave over this is unworthy of being an educator

It's been enshittified by capitalism

I think this is unfair, because as you say, we live under capitalism. What do you expect educators to do, be unemployed? Under capitalism, this is not a very enticing prospect.

Staff themselves ought not to be blamed on the decisions of admin.

It's not like they get a vote (though, in my opinion, they should get to vote on top administrative positions, as should every workplace)

It's so transparent it's almost laughable.

What gets me about the Nationals, is they barely advocate for the region's interests at all.

Climate change has, and is going to keep increasing the frequency and severity of droughts.

If I recall correctly, droughts in this country are strongly correlated with an increased rate of suicides of farmers, for fairly obvious reasons.

The Nationals ought to be on the "hey, how about we mitigate climate change" bandwagon.

But they're so captured by Gina Rhinehart and other moneyed interests and apparently the voters in rural areas don't care.

I don't get it, honestly.

As much as I hate the Liberals, if it effectively shifts the Overton Window left, I'll call the Liberals working with Labor in the senate a win

If he did, his scheme cooked up by his donors to delay clean energy would be revealed.

Is this not pretty typical daily rate for gas supply charges from gas retailers?

This travesty is that he's not been prosecuted for murdering people/war crimes (allegedly)

It is truly magical
