You want to know what's truly disturbing? The previous Australian Federal government did many of these same things too, or worse.

It seems true democracy has fallen out of favour.

I can’t believe no one noticed Scomo making himself minister of 5 areas

The problem is that we noticed, but nothing really happened. As it always is here in Aus.

True democracy was never really in favour. It's not like Australia as ever really better than this, and the one time it tried, an unelected representative of a monarch dissolved parliament with support from the CIA

The politicians and corporations think it's too hard to get their agendas implemented with the will of the people in the way.
