‘A white man’s fantasy’: if we want to rebuild social cohesion, we need to acknowledge where it all started to unravel

Genuinely horrified by the result in Goldstein. Independent MP Zoe Daniel is an informed, intelligent, principled individual who has served both the electorate and the nation well. Tim Wilson is a lazy, deceitful, smug narcissist who has only ever served himself. #auspol #AusVotes25 #GoldsteinVotes
