Three countries. One warning.
The UK, Canada, and Australia are all showing signs of managed decline — where rising housing costs, gutted industries, and overloaded infrastructure are pushing societies to the brink.
This video explores how the same political choices have led to collapsing systems, and why Australia is next.

Looking at an allergen label on some lunch and I wonder if we need those on our senate ballots as well?
"May contain nuts, wheat and other allegens. Contents may differ from picture. May settle during shipping".
"Senate may differ from presentation in media. Not all senators will remain in the party they were selected by".
The bit about nuts is not really the domain of the AEC though.
'We demand gambling revenue and the dole.'
Following the ditching of gambling ad reform, Australia's old media corps - News, Nine and Seven - lobby for more government welfare via taxes on US big tech.

It's Labor's fault Jane Hume made headlines.
It's best for politicians to refrain from commenting or making accusations with regard to open investigations & on matters that may later appear before a court. #auspol

People who ridicule Sussan Ley over her chosen name/spelling (oh ha ha! Two essess! That’s so many ssssss’s!) are not helping the cause of people self-identifying in general.
There are 1000+ reasons why the Liberal leader’s politics are abhorrent, how she chooses to spell her name ain’t one of them.
The last time I drew Sussssan Ley, she was the Environment Minister. During her tenure, she successfully fought in court to prove she had no legal duty of care to protect young people from the climate crisis. Following that, she then hopped on a taxpayer-funded flight around the globe to lobby UNESCO into silence about the catastrophic decline of the Great Barrier Reef - convincing the World Heritage Committee not to label it "in danger." Now Leader of the Opposition, I'm sure it won't be long till inspiration strikes again
