Why aren't we talking about this?

We all know mainstream media sucks. They pander to the right wing, they're painful, they only tell one side of the story if you don't read around (says she who dibs into The Age, The Guardian, The Shot and the New York Times on most days.)

Well, I think there are two things we should be talking about, even though nobody seems to be talking about them. 

Firstly. 

Petrol prices are up near $2.00 a litre. 

Why isn't the media all over this? Sure, a house fire claiming the lives of four kids in Werribee - valid news. The captain of the Australian Cricket Team sending dick pics to somebody three years ago. Sure, very uncool and rather gross - valid news for a day. But the rest of it is around the lies of our Prime Moron (daily news, we should be used to it by now) and how the ABC is being investigated again and all sorts of other right wing clap trap.

But NOBODY is talking about the fact that petrol is now sitting at just under $2.00 a litre. 

And I don't get it. 

The other thing I think we ned to address is the following: 

Jacqui Lambie laying into One Nation

If you haven't seen this, watch it. In full.

Love her or hate her, I think this speech may go down amongst the likes of Julia Gillard's misogyny speech. 

I'm one who gives Lambie the benefit of the doubt. I don't agree with everything she says. And yes, she does occassionally sway to places I wish she wouldn't go. 

But this speech is GOLD. 

And she says pretty much everything I think about One Nation, and those dickheads people who are rightly or wrongly protesting vaccine mandates. 

She pretty much says it all. She certainly mirrors my thoughts on a stupid bill, written by an idiotic party, for which five of the coalition crossed the floor to vote for... yeah, go figure. 

Sure, she's a bit rough around the edges. 

Sure, she sometimes makes the not so good call. 

But in this case, the woman does good. 

Like Ricky Muir before her, who ended up being a bloody good senator, Lambie has come into her own. 

We need more like her to shutdown the right-wing, fear-mongering jackasses who are taking over country.
