And of course, Channel 7 and Channel 9 have published hit-pieces against the Privacy Commission in defence of Bunnings.

They have broadcast video of employees being attacked!

Are they somehow suggesting that if Fighty McStealy had been facially-profiled on entering the store that he wouldn't have done a meth rampage against old mate in a green apron?

Eh, username checks out. The guy literally inhales vegetables, why wouldn't he try to drink a snag?

Can't wait for the next Democracy Sausage.

Vote Greens

The greens are completly unrealistic in their policy

It's better than Union Busting and leaving the working class to live in cars - Albo's specialty.

I was looking forward to my late stage tax cuts but albo killed those and i doubt the greens would have done anything different.
