It seems awfully hard to have a robust and meaningful anti-corruption body when its head is scared to 'offend' people trying to cover up what looks awfully like corruption 🤷‍♂️

The Labor government has cocked this up - I would argue because their heart wasn't in having a body overseeing them - but the RW Opposition will be worse.

Yet another example of the flaws in a two party political system.

Things in Australia that'll kill you #3,625,854:

The word 'safely' is doing some heavy lifting here. I'm gonna stick with my strategy of running away as fast as I can whenever I see one.

"In jeopardy"?

I would've thought it was more that they've ticked off another qualification box for joining this gang. 🤷‍♂️

The Murdochrats here in Oz are running a campaign against our ambassador to the US (who also happens to be a former Labor Prime Minister) because he said some things about T**** before going into the role.

T****'s caddy, Dan Scavino, posted an hourglass GIF on one of his social media posts, too.

For now, at least, our PM is holding the line that "T**** doesn't choose our ambassador; Australia does," and that seems exactly right. Appeasement is bad.

If this report does not get leaked within days, we will know 100% for sure that Congressional Dems absolutely do not understand the assignment.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a Republican leaked it 🤷‍♂️

* dude, not dud, of course.

But 'dud' actually works too. Freudian typing? 🤔

I love that the top story on the newspaper site is about an Uber driver with a water pistol.

It does strike me, though, that we see a dude waving a water pistol outside the NSW State Parliament as a really big deal, but a dud who fomented a violent insurrection against the US Capitol is about to be president again.

*shakes head in bewilderment*
