Beutifully captured Joel. I rember a saying in a movie "You can't handle the Truth" , which is so apt for the reaction to Thorpe's heart felt invective rightly directed towards Australia's King. and all the sychophants in the room. ALP have done nothing to wind back some of the worlds most draconian anti worker Industrial laws where for example you cannot strile unless its during a EBA negotiation period. ALP have continued to scew and dumb down the ABC. We give away our natural resources like gas and yet pay the highest gas prices in the world. In NSW you need a Police permit to protest. and no change to this law under an ALP State Gov. I really hope that the voters of Australia continue to move away from both the nmajor parties and elect true independents or minor parties that have the Australian peoples interest at heart.
An accurate analysis of current Australia. The smug, from those wealthy enough to afford it, becomes ever thicker and more toxic. The retirees dividing their time between their 5 bedroom beach house and their city home, the tradies with their ever larger utes, the corporate parasites accumulating ever more wealth because rrally, what else is there? Leadership absent. Government by opinion poll. Dutton poisoning the atmosphere with his brain farts and climate policies. The right, in all its perverse varieties, licensing selfishness for all.

Very well written Joel, you hit the nail right on the head . We are lost and have no one to lead us to a better place.
I had largely ignored the carry on about Senator Thorpe's protest but this piece has made me very interested. Thank you.
Thanks Joel.
Helps me feel better.
The depravity around us defies reason.
Spot on Joel, as usual.

Where is our modern-day Gough when we need him?
