I love how populist, far-right pieces of shit like to portray themselves as anti-corruption and anti-establishment, and they are the most corrupt, quid pro quo leeches on the political spectrum.

You’re absolutely wrong about them. They’re far right PILES of shit, not pieces.

Damn, and here I can get fired and possibly charged with bribery for accepting lunch from a vendor I use since I work for a state-run institution. There's literally no floor to the minimum amount exception for bribery, anything of value counts.

Doug Ford: "Wait that was an option?"

MadPsyentist@lemmy.nz · 6 pts · 94d

Well damn.

Just remember in the previous elections Gina threw her money and support behind Peter Dutton and the Liberal party. At the time of the election the liberals were the encumbent party. Now the liberal party is a shadow of its former self and Peter Dutton is... checks notes an investment banker?

So maybe this is a good thing and just the poison pill that One Nation needs to crumble into oblivion.

I'm sure it's part of a plan to bankrupt him with the immense running cost

Glad to hear that emancipation has reached a level where women can destroy the planet just as well as men
