If the world’s number 1 tennis player is sanctioned deported for non disclosure or lying, could we also apply this standard to our political leaders ?

How can we expect our kids to be respectful of each other, and treat each other courteously when our leader is so rude and disrespectful of the rules of civilised debate?

We should not be gaslit about Morrison’s secret ministry roles. The ghost minister arrangements in 2020/21 are a big deal. They challenge core constitutional conventions, democratic accountabilities, and transparency. Democracy dies in darkness.

Do not understand why eligibility to vote by phone does not go back for seven days, so anyone with Covid since last Friday can still vote. Cannot bear think of an Australian democracy that supports voter suppression with this pandemic still raging. #auspol #democracy

Can we all now agree that anti vaxxers should be discouraged and condemned, strongly and forcefully, whoever and wherever they are, by all political leaders? Not just selectively.

In NSW no-one is allowed to build new homes in a 1 in 100 year flood zone. That is fine if the flood zones are properly mapped. Clearly there is a problem. Two 1 in 100 year floods within 5 years. Hmmm.
