Not knowing who any of those homunculi are (and I don’t want to know), I’d guess pink pants is Natalie Harp holding his nappy bag (diaper bag for the Americans).

The kind of person who would buy these would also circulate them to somehow “own the libs”

This is exactly what happened after the Bondi shooting that targeted a Hannukah festival last year. Conservative media and politicians (and even fucking Netanyahu himself) went absolutely feral blaming the government despite the fact that ASIO stopped monitoring the shooters in 2019 under the previous government, and that one of the shooters was born in Australia, with the other (his father) having migrated here about 30 years under the conservative Howard government.

Earlier in 2025 our government recognised the state of Palestine. Ever since the shooting the Epstein class has been astroturfing the far right here and doing their damnedest to destroy the government. I don’t believe that’s a coincidence.

The whole existence of said deadline was an exercise in antidemocratic bastardry on the part of the GOP state government orchestrated by McConnell himself to frustrate the Democrat governor’s ability to appoint his replacement.

I swear that in 6 months time it’ll be “this person writes in complete sentences with correct spelling, must be AI”

In Westminster parliamentary systems, the government has a cabinet of ministers responsible for different policy areas, similar to the US presidential cabinet. The leader of the cabinet ministers is the prime minister, the head of government. The closest US analogy would probably be a cross between speaker of the house and house majority leader (the role of the speaker of the house in Westminster parliaments is somewhat different - in Australia the Speaker is a member of the House of Representatives elected by the House, and is responsible for the operation of the house, but does not get to decide what legislation gets put to a vote. That’s up to the governing party). The prime minister is supposed to be “first among equals”, but in reality the PM is the leader of the party and is hence the boss. The PM also de-facto exercises executive power, since the Governor-General who legally holds executive power only acts on the advice of the prime minister.
