BREAKING: The Labor and Liberal parties may not agree on much but when it comes to introducing a new law that ensures taxpayer funding for their election campaigns under the guise of stopping Clive Palmer, but which will actually stop newcomers from competing with them, you can be sure they'll pass it and lock in the two party system by Christmas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3WTlyuhDs0

Albo is an idiot if he thinks this works out well for Labor in the long run. We know Gina is waiting on the sidelines to tip millions in to help Dutton.

Similar things happen all over the world and we can see a lot of people can't be trusted to handle power responsible and as consequence boost authoritarianism and environmental destructive egoism.
Democracy does need more checks so that "trust is nice but control is better" can work to prevent this.
Thanks for your work to bring attention to such things.
