It’s not just that the Governor General accepted $18 million from the PM who bought him with dubious disclosure & no tender.
It’s that he did so to start a stupid, unnecessary “charity” mostly for rich young men who don’t need charity support.
It’s fucked on every single level.

Not raising the rate was unjust before the economy went south. Not doing it now is unconscionable. There is no defending it.

The term "cancelled" should never have been coined. Doing so gave people a euphemism to use instead of having to say "Everyone got tired of my shit and told me to fuck off."

I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now.
For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous.
But it's time people know KiwiFarms—and how they're chasing political enemies around the world.

There's a form of class violence that wants to ridicule folk for mispronouncing words. Growing up, I'd often read a word for the first time & have no idea how it was meant to sound. There's no shame in mispronouncing a word. It just means you met it first on your own & on a page.

Australians, we must ask ourselves, why when our governments can ‘invest’ an estimated > $100 billion for submarines, and $11.6 billion for fossil fuel subsidies in 2021-22, they refuse to invest sufficiently in the environment and conservation?
We’re being dudded and deceived.

Folks, a plea: However many days you are TOLD to isolate after you catch COVID, how ever many days you CHOOSE to isolate, please consider isolating until you have a negative RAT. If you do that, you will reduce the chance of infecting your friends, family and others by about 90%

Australia's political media isn't at all interested in this?
Here is the Governor General signing off on the $18 million for his own pet charity.
Yes, you read that right.
Scott Morrison oversaw this. What favours did he seek from the Governor General & his office in return?

Just Victoria's Environment Minister promoting firewood collection.
Collecting wood from state forests is bad for the environment, burning that wood is bad for human health.

Firewood collection areas are now open.
The Spring firewood collection season is the ideal time to think about how much firewood you will need next winter and plan your energy needs ahead.

Take it from me: the Governor General’s role in getting $18m from Morrison for a charity without a record, office or program and no competitive bid is set to be the most controversial vice regal indulgence since Kerr’s dismissal of Whitlam.

The #Knox grammar news is yet more in a long line of evidence that illustrates the nonsense/classist logic of framing boys from poor suburbs as ‘the problem’. The issue is up and down the socioeconomic spectrum, but the ‘elite’ boys take these attitudes into positions of power.
