Very disappointed with the Albanese government. They had an historic opportunity to make some Whitlamesque changes to improve our world and seem to be just pissing it away.

This is such a blatant bend-over to whoever throws them the most cash.

@luciedigitalni Every time I see a story like this I regret not becoming a teacher as a profession. Regardless of what subject I would teach, it would be heavily intertwined with how politics works in this country.
