How democracy works:
You get to vote every few years.
Between elections, the PM, FM, and cabinet are uncontactable. Your local member fobs you off with anodyne words.

Hope this helps.

Well, it appears Hanson was spotted at a Minerals Council of Australia event in Canberra this week!
That’s the lobby for… you guessed it! The gas and mining lobby.
Take a look ➡️
The New World (Dis)Order isn’t West vs the rest,North vs South. It’s UP vs DOWN: filthy rich vs everyone else, with a cohort of cowards, racists & opportunists in between, sustaining an imperial war-driven system bombing ppl into submission.
Time for an ethical course correction
So in one weekend, Trump has proven to the world that having US military bases on your soil is a liability that opens you up to attack, the US will not defend you or its military bases against foreign attacks, there is no point negotiating with them when they’ll just gather intel and kill all the negotiators even if you give them what they want, and building nukes is the most viable protection against them 💀
