Municipal councils in Broome, Karratha, Geraldton and Carnarvon held closed meetings to promise various amounts in millions of dollars toward continued Qantas services during lockdown. In Geraldton, the amount was three hundred dollars for every member of the population, even though only about ten percent are ever likely to use it. No consultation. Appalling plutocratic governance. Thank goodness for road coaches.

Allow me to focus on the anti-protest law.
How did that arise from the workers?
Isn't industrial action a fotrm of protest?

I was being sarcastic. I meant republican in the American sense of being reactionary. The Labor party seems compromised by the mining lobby.
@unionagainstdhmo
I'm not about to vote liberal, but feel disappointed by some Labor decisions. The anti-protest law in particular seem to have bipartisan support despite democratic resistance. Protests over freedom of association were once the backbone of union membership and strength.
@Ilandar
I can't see the daily discussion topic, but it was something about Aus developing trends of USA politics. They're already here. We have two republican parties.
@Hotznplotzn Wonder if COPILOT has been probed for cybersecurity and privacy issues. Very proud of my first reply to a Lemmy!
