One could argue that those out of touch, private school educated politicians who have never struggled to pay bills or put food on the table wouldn't represent the majority of white Australians either.

I heard a rumour that Albo was raised by a single mum in a housing commission flat and did it hard. He doesn't speak much about it, never mentions his upbringing, but it's just a rumour.

Well that’s a double hell no from me!

Bad enough in Germany!

I hope this gets shared a lot in Facebook,

More info needs to be out there. It was bad enough with the footy team names, enough already.

Exactly what are first name people getting out of these name changes?

And from that article: “Councils are also requested to “commit to preferentially employ appropriately skilled WJJWJ people”.”


Nope, I don’t believe women should get preferential treatment either, no one should, the best person for the job should get it.

Dan's a flog. Sooner he goes, the better. Is he still planning on renaming Marondah Hospital, a First nations name, to Queen Elizabeth II Hospital? Hypocrite, flog, liar, arrogant unaccountable cnut, and those are his good points.
