Thoughts on the feds giving $10,000,000 to their mates at Foxtel out of the C19 relief fund?

You know your in trouble when the age is reporting the truth.

Security has always been about 90% coloured in my opinion, and I used to work in a locked adult psychiatric unit. Done plenty of work with them.

The idea that they were hired for the colour of their skin would be like suggesting that hospitals only hire female nurses so that women feel included - any anybody who believes that nonsense is a fool!

I find The Age/Fairfax quite amusing...all "woke" & leftist but so clearly aimed at an upper-middle class white audience.... :shh

Jacinda Ardern is looking at an easy victory in the upcoming NZ election.


Maybe it is time Australia looked at a female PM.


Marisa Payne from The Libs or Penny Wong from the Labor party. Forget the Nats with Bridget McKenzie(ugh) leading the pack.

Ardern is riding high in the polls – as is the Labour party – on the back of her stewardship of the country’s Covid-19 response. Her strong position has been aided by troubles within the opposition National party, which is heading into September’s election with its third leader in as many months.
