While updating Wikipedia about tomorrow's new motorway — Victoria's getting an "M4" — noticed some unhealthy obsessions about a long-gone politician

I'm sure Australians under 16 have some options about #AlboPM and all the other #ALP piggies with their noses in the trough, arranging their "ministerial duties" so as to conveniently align with where they want to have family holidays, while they gorge on kickbacks from the gambling and fossil fuel industries...
...pity they had their online voices silenced.
#auspol Wise counsel from #ALP elder, Wayne Swan.
Progressive critics have marked down the Albanese government for eschewing major reform, such as winding back negative gearing or re-introducing a carbon tax, in favour of incremental progress on climate, housing, health and education.
'Swan – who oversaw the response to the 2007 global financial crisis – said the government had a “pretty strong centre-left agenda” that reflected the core of Labor’s mission to “create prosperity so we can spread opportunity”.
But he said the party should be prepared to debate more contentious policies, predicting a contest of ideas at Labor’s three-yearly national conference in Adelaide next July.'

Prescient commentary from the incomparable #AmyREmeikis today in the Australian Institute Live blog:
“Party that refused to properly negotiate on laws now bitching about laws they refused to negotiate properly on
The refuse and bitch method is getting an incredible work out here from Sussan Ley.
She is so sad for the miners. So sad for the farmers. Just sad for Australia really. Because mining and farmers just pay for all of Australia to live (it doesn’t but she is milking the hyperbole cow extra hard this morning) and now they have to *sob* have the same approval processes for fossil fuel projects that are destroying the planet and *sobs harder* not clear as much land as they want *collapse on the floor sobbing*.
And my Dolly – will someone think of the loggers? All that native forestry that might end up *gasp* NOT LOGGED, because there will be a review into the industry’s exemptions in 18 months time?
OH THE HUMANITY! IF ONLY THERE HAD BEEN A WAY FOR THE COALITION TO HAVE INPUT INTO THESE LAWS WHICH IT REFUSED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE WITH BECAUSE ITS LEADER HAS THE AUTHORITY OF A WET SOCK FORGOTTEN IN THE SODDEN GRASS.”
How could I improve that that!?
