> Labor will win. They should. I hope so. The bookies think they will. The polls have been consistent. People prefer Morrison, but Like Plath might have said, 'Every Australian adores a fascist'.

She was murdered by 'Putin' shortly after, which makes as much sense as 'Trump' as a category.Well, she survived some harrowing events. Have you read any of her books?
The same Plath line works here too. I think of that line often, actually, like it's written into my DNA. Not everyone in the US has drank the Russia koolaid. Corruption is the key. Trump is corrupt and the entire system is corrupt. Bloody hydrocarbon oligarchs. All of them.
Lake Eerie was granted the full rights of a person by Toledo Ohio. If corporations, why not public water, national parks, coastlines, etc? In my opinion, that begins the redress.
