Dutton said Albanese is "treating people like mugs" over the indigenous Voice for parliament and sent out an open letter to the press outlining 15 questions he said the government must answer.

People are over cheap culture war stunts.". Leak, Son of Leak:

It's been interesting watching how quickly the TERF stuff consumed everything in Sinfest. Back in 2020 the plotlines and characters were insane but at least they were there. I can't remember if anything happened in 2022 other than baby new year was born, became a handmaid then died. I guess Monique sulked for a bit in an alt-right diner? That was the year?
