Upvoted because it's good news I'm sure some people could really use right about now, but fuck me, what a shit article.
Why is it quoting the opinion of some children's author who was mid even before she fell off and who has absolutely no qualifications or expertise to contribute on the topic? And to do this while offering neither any substantiation of said takes nor any opposing voices?
Failed attempt at journalism tbh, and it's disgusting that SBS is resorting to pivoting the topic of an article to be about some fascist celebrity billionaire who's tangentially relevant, I guess, just for clicks. It's irresponsible use of a platform and it's so fucking cynical.
