I've written about the Labor paradox: some voters think Labor is too progressive and others say Labor is not progressive enough. Labor must build a broad political consensus and those who want change but don't want change to impact them are not helping! independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

The Labor paradox: Too progressive, not progressive enough

Labor governments face criticism from both sides, but progress requires compromise, consensus and accepting that not every change will suit everyone.

"Echoes of White Australia still generate passionate debate in 21st century Australia at a time when the expressions of 'White Canada' and 'White New Zealand' have long been forgotten, and America's Chinese Exclusion Act has reverted to a subject of specialist enquiry" (p. 1).

A coffee from a cafe is already absurdly over priced. The idea that the tiny scoop of beans required to make it costs 25¢ more due to the fuel cost to transport it is even more absurd. Charge me a 5% surcharge and never see me again.

How many journalists, for instance, are using Grammarly: a piece of software that ACTIVELY DEMANDS YOU INSERT FABRICATED QUOTES INTO YOUR ARTICLES I really really do not think there is any awareness of how their entire industry is voluntarily being turned to sand, from the inside out
