It just goes to show how out of touch politicians are.

As a parent of two primary schoolers. (Yeah yeah cliché qualifier) Things I'm more concerned about than social media:

  1. Them never being able to buy a fucking house or afford any kind of living standard because apparently property market must go brrr. Everything they do is about propping up established home owners ensuring profits for the banks.
  2. Corruption and lobbying
  3. Doing fuck all about climate change and environmental destruction. Stop.fucking.clearing.vegetation.
  4. Alcohol and gambling adds
  5. Air quality / emissions from transport. Fuck Albo's watered down vehicle emissions rules that are going to encourage more diesel SUV use. Diesel is next in line after pdfiles and religion for things I don't want near kids.
