Can't think of a better way to infarct 'the bloated corpuscles' "Imagine feeding the almost 1,000,000 Aussie kids in poverty while simultaneously giving conniption induced infarctions to the bloated corpuscles running the duopoly. That is taxpayer dollars well spent imho"

Facebook (and Zuck) started off as a tool for stalkers. This is no surprise. Zuck is the kind of guy who cannot fathom why we need a Drivers Privacy Protection Act, because after all *he* can afford a security detail.

In July alone, russia destroyed 1.5 million Ukrainian books. Books preserve knowledge. They teach us to think critically and ask questions. Is the “great russian culture” afraid of Ukrainian books? It seems so.

Yet I see politicians who have moral standards and courage - not many admittedly. As a citizen I have the right to criticise crappy performance of our politicians. I have no sympathy for it being a “hard” job. If they don’t like “serving the people” they need to quit

Instead of waiting until 2027 for "advice", maybe Labor could follow advice from its own 2020 Senate report that rejected the anti-intellectual & inequitable scheme as creating an "Americanised education system characterised by high levels of private debt". And get rid of it. As promised. In 2022.
