Thought I would try again:

Here's what I get on shitty cable in Jakarta
If you are in an apartment building you can get 100Mbs for a bit more money.
Back to politics. I thought I read somewhere yesterday that a minister was found to have acted criminally by the courts.
Surprised its not the lead story in everywhere media outlet across the country. WTF is going on in Australia when a finding like that isn't seen as the biggest news of the year.
Or was the AA team that bad?

That particular $#1*box just happens to be my local member. Alan Tudge is his name, he carries on the tradition of LNP scum bags.
Faster than what I am getting
Baloo, are you referring to the government purchase of land off a party donor for 10x the value?

There is a great tweet floating around about the Lib gov's week.
Overpaying for the airport land, criminal behaviour by a minister, the NBN f up, and giving money to Murdoch for fun. Good times.
There's your problem, Baloo. Most Australians don't give a *smile* about asylum seekers. They're "illegal boat people"; "queue jumpers". If they didn't want to endure cruel and inhumane treatment at the hands of our government, they shouldn't have tried to save their own lives from terrorist regimes.No, Alan Tudge and the asylum seekers detention

We all know Australians would patiently wait their turn if roles were reversed.
Terrible. With the Andrews Government massive failings it’s brought this to light for so many Melbourne families. Federal minister in charge Richard Colbeck doesn’t seem to care. If you see his interviews and comments would have to be the second most incompetent politician in Australia after Jenny.
Nice summary of a poor week in politics:

The case for an Australian federal anti-corruption watchdog is more compelling after a troubling week | Katharine Murphy
Politicians are getting bolder with every passing year and it is becoming harder to hold them to account

How can we make our ministers and senior public service fat cats more accountable?
And I wonder what it now takes for a minister in any government to get sacked? The only thing that care about is opinion polls for mine. And while we have very weak opposition leaders Albo and Michael O’Brien I can’t see much changing.

I see Alan Tudge gets another mention 're the "Robodebt" disgrace. Serial scumbag that man.
Bring back the old media ownership laws. With the concentration of media in the hands of the very few, the media controls what is a scandal and what's swept under the carpet.
The only way to get political parties/politicians to listen, is to vote independent.
If Liberal and Labour were the minority parties in parliament, they'd soon get the picture. They would soon start listening to the electorate instead of the scum bag lobbyists, many of whom are ex politicians
You need to be careful voting independent tho. Some are happy to sell out on an issue, to get a deal for their own niche concern.
Yes a perfect example is that dog grooming was allowed after the Animal Justice party voted with ALP state government the other week. While gardening wasn’t allowed.
