That goddam Emperor Penguin that showed up in WA should go back to where he came from!

Me: Because I can't find a single one.

I already have a wind turbine strapped to my ass and generate free power with every fart. If I need a 'boost' I'll wolf down some baked beans.

You're way behind CSIRO!

and our entire economic system will fall apart, not that it’s going to start Armageddon.

Is there a difference?

Jonny Diesel was doing OK too, with 3 consecutive ARIA Best Male Artist in the 90s.

I had Solid State Rhyme playing for a bit and still quote some Chill Pill when things get hectic:

Push until we make it break
Sometimes I think we all should take
A chill pill

But if I did, my car would sound like a racecar!

This is going to be a tough decision.....

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a WASP!"

Australian Insect of the Year.

Way more important than a lot of these other annual gong events.

Don't call him dude, buddy.

Those at the top of the inequality are probably very happy, but I was being a bit sarcastic. The vast majority in the middle and lower end are losing out badly.

The inequality continues to widen.

And now they are saying - shock horror! - that the satisfaction with democracy (or rather democratic institutions) is slipping.

Vote in party A. Things get worse. Vote in party B. Things get worse. Let's vote in party A again. Oops, things got worse. Well, let's give party B a go. Nope - worse again.
People: iT mUsT bE DeMoCrAcY tHaT'S tHe PrObLEm!!

Conclusion: Inequality is eroding satisfaction of democracy!

Did they allow for other factors that erode faith in politics/government? Like, idk, corrupt politicians? Kickbacks after leaving office? Blatant lying? Causing death, pain and destruction to thousands, a la Robodebt?

I haven't bothered to look at this 'study' but I can smell the 'correlation does not mean causation' from here.

I think I'm a bit pissed off, because we're spending money and time on 'strengthening democracy', when even their 'conclusion' says they should be spending it on closing the gap and reducing inequality.
