Turnbull is worth $200 million...For a toadie. To be very clear, I was referring to how well they individually profit relative to the damage they cause. One shit deal might buy them a nice couch, probably not a house to put it in, certainly not a yacht. They're small-time. Meanwhile the mining company they're circlejerking under the table is printing a dollar for every wombat they just got a permit to throw in the woodchipper: real money.
The point is they're political creatures, not masterminds, but they also aren't the idiots they pretend to be to skirt responsibility. They are scum.
Those aren't "the Opposition" though. See, even the language that's printed sets it up as though it's a two-party system. I'm not that strong on Australian politics but don't they even give themselves LARP "shadow" titles so they can roleplay in front of a mic even when they aren't elected to the exclusion of all others?
I mean yeah over a long enough period of time, like really long, another party might become the new opposition and Australia does have some occasional third-party stuff going on, but the money running the show moves a lot faster and it's not a genuinely representative system by design.
Full disclosure my impressions of this stuff are entirely against my will and if not for these troubling times I would be far the fuck away again where I could be entirely rather than mostly ignorant
