66 people die with COVID, on the latest figures. Are any politicians, or anyone in the media, taking the slightest interest? Absolutely not.

Those who are able to take advantage of it will be able to spend up to $250K (singles) or $600K (couples) more on their purchase than they would otherwise (depending on their capacity to service a commensurately larger mortgage) ... /3

I wasn't aware of this quote from Mathias Cormann in 2014 - he was Finance Minister back then, now he is the boss of the OECD, one of the bastions of economic orthodoxy. And on this, he is absolutely right!

... they identify specific groups in the community and then craft a message that works just for them. The dreadful reality of this is that Morrison will chase these votes in this way regardless of the consequences to trans people (and trans children in particular).

The battle for your morals
Morrison's office work closely with Chris Kenny (+ Sky's darkness loiterers)

What Morrison is inflaming here is exactly what he wants
It's all going to plan.
