And I should add the worst part about it is these loser cults force these limitations upon their kids, damaging their futures.

Quote from the Talking Pictures segment on this morning's Insiders:

"Peter Dutton and Scott Morrison's attack, on Anthony Albanese this week, had all the subtlety of Mongo from Blazing Saddles riding into town and punching a horse in the face." :lol:

I'd honestly tuned out from all that the other week, but it really does sound like we're well and truly in scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel season.

Good question, no idea.

I keep reading about how Politicians know the mood of their electorate, but apart from getting phone calls, emails or using the force I have NFI how they do it.

Some are active on social media but those accounts tend to attract majority sycophants and trolls so hardly an accurate indication.

In other news, apparently Clive the inhaler (of Parma's) is now ahead of 1 Nation in the polls. That's $31 Million of advertising well spent. Considering their advertising bags both Labor/Greens and NLP there could be some heavy negotiations over preferences. The so called "independent" movement is well funded and will preference Labor in the main.

That sucks mate. COVID has cost the Government squillions. While vaccinations, PCR and RATs are all free to us, they cost the Government and now it's time to repair the budget.

So I doubt this is the last we'll hear of funding cuts.

Some of those ridiculous artsy fartsy grants can go.

Why don't they get money of the People who can Afford it and Not People who can't?

Yes Covid has cost Billions Probably but there is a Right Way and a Wrong Way of Trying to make the Budget Better

No disrespect, having plans cut doesn't necessarily mean it's a funding cut. I don't follow it closely but I believe there's been reviews of individuals plans and funding over past months. In an election year I'd expect that if funding had been cut you'd have Shorten and others yelling it out.
