What is being ‘normalised’ through politics and media is abhorrent and dangerous. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Beware the new 'normal', it might be about to bite us
Some people just like power. Those same people enjoy sowing seeds of discord that they never have to actually solve, in order to keep it.

Title: “In the end, nobody knew for sure if it was the acidic pollution from mining, or the sheer pressure from powerful interest groups, that caused the PM’s spine to disintegrate…” Various objects: gas tank marked Woodside on desk with “Thanks Albo!” And IPCC report. “Yes” poster on wall with Midnight Oil t-shirt draped half over. Bin with poster in it “friends of …lestine”; shelves with digger, yellow hard hat with “MINE MINE MINE”, a wan toy koala, a rabbit in South’s jersey and a plaque saying “THANKS ALBO from BIG GAMING”.

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet. It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.
