"They promised us a very, very different future... That future hasn't arrived and I am frankly angry. I'm angry that these folks won't own up. I'm angry they won't tell the truth and I'm angry that this is a result of a series of absolutely insane policy blunders."

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers β€” and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Targeting a solar farm isn't going to cause nearly as much of a problem.

The Tories did promise more essential workers from the Commonwealth.

Somehow I think they convinced enough people that this meant Australian bar staff.

Brad Rimmer photographs the faded glory of Western Australia’s wheatbelt halls – in pictures Photographer captures what remains of the town halls of the once-thriving agricultural region

I live in a peri-urban community where the little halls are essential, thriving hubs.

But agriculture is corporate now, and the loss of rural communities is a tragedy.

Moira Deeming, an eight-minute meeting and the latest flashpoint in the battle within the Victorian Liberals Some Liberals worry the MP may defect to One Nation if she loses preselection but supporters insist she’s not contemplating jumping ship

The sad part is that with the Libs in shambles, Labor could run a truly progressive agenda, for the people, right now, and would win for years on the strength of it.

But won't.
