I think associating mass government firings to ideology is being too charitable. LNP are in government 2/3 of the time. They have created the small government they wanted. This latest idea is just to be cruel, nothing more. They are not good people.

I diverge from common thoughts here. I don't want my productivity going to prop up business lobby groups. Colesworth is the result of an economic system that cannot resolve the need for more efficiencies via economies of scale monopolies and the need for much competition to get an accurate price signal. No Australian party wants to tamper with the current economic system, so it was obvious this ACCC report was leading to nothing.

The News Bargaining Incentive was a shake down itself. It should be scraped. Most Australian media companies are the same trash as social media and should shutdown if they cannot survive. At least tech provides useful services other than propaganda channels for connected politicians.
