This is a fairly massive thing for Australian politics right now. Gladys is, as I said, openly corrupt. Has been ever since I first heard of her, as Transport Minister, in around 2014. She's also the third premier in a row, from that party/this government, to resign in disgrace, after corruption allegations...
Amazing, really.
What happens now, though? Fuck knows. But this is a massive win for accountability, and for those of us who want all of this bullshit to end. Dan is next. I hate him far, far more, and I fucking hope he burns (metaphorically) in political hell. He deserves to rot (in jail), as, clearly, does Gladytsio...
So I guess the question now is: Who do you think replaces her? Because at least from the "Outsider looking in" stuff I am keeping up with on the [New Zealand Ranchers] website, there are two likely options. Domonic Perrettot (who they say wants to end the lockdowns and go back to comparative normal) or Matt Kean (who I couldnt find anything about other than that he is a nutty Watermelon, so I dont imagine his stance on lockdowns is good).
Dominic Perettot is a weirdo who thinks we should tear down all of Sydney's old buildings ("because they're ugly") and replace them with shiny modernist structures...
Narcissist, big fan of "big business", and, realistically, his own personal enrichment...
Matt Kean, by contrast, is, umm, pretty much an environmentalist... He's the furthest left in that whole cabinet, and really, really pushes renewables, emissions targets, etc.
So neither is great. But I can imagine Kean, being almost a leftist, would probably salivate over lockdowns more. At a guess.
Also, you can just say the Farms. I think we know what you mean!

Oh, so he is one of those types. I have never understood the reasoning for that beyond "Make every city look the same" and "The old ways are haram". Meanwhile, in my city, the local engineers still build using modern techniques but have the outside facing parts still at least look like the standard for local, classical buildings (so lots of brick, limestone, and/or wood, like this). Sorry to hear that even your "best" case is still a nutter.

Hence why I called him a Watermelon ("Green on the Outside, Red on the Inside"). When I saw that he wants to ban the sale of all non-electric vehicles by 2035, I knew I was dealing with a man who wants to restrict the free movement of people for ideological reasons but is hiding it behind "environmentalism".
And people like him are why I call myself a Conservationist instead (also because I demand what is best for Humans, not "The Planet").
Also, you can just say the Farms.
Good to know. I didnt know if there was a ban on mentioning the Farms by name like there is on Reddit. Will make it easier in the future.
Yeah, the ABC likes to trot out Perottet (I hate spelling his name, fuck) every NSW/Federal election... Guy is a massive doooouuuuccchhhee...
Though apparently the "tear down the old buildings" thing was "a joke". He said that, after people pointed out that the article he wrote wanting to do that was completely bonkers...
Also, I think it was (Victor?) Dominello, rather than him, who said this, but he called the NSW "contact tracing" and "vaccine passport" apps his "babies", yes, his babies, and said that he didn't want to give them up too quickly, because he was so "proud" of what they had achieved (or rather, failed to)...
I wish I could find the article where he said that now, but Google is hiding it...
Aaaannnddd then he got Bell's Palsy, from the vaccine. Lol.
So yeah, these guys are nuts... Like, they really are.
I forgot about the electric cars bit. Thanks for reminding me. Fuck that dude, lol.
Yeah, it's all about control. In Australia at least, that's what everything comes down to, whether they mask it with "environmentalism" or "public health" or "socjus". It's always about controlling Joe Citizen, and making his life as inconvenient and frustrating as possible. In the name of the UniParty, of course.
Regardless of who "takes charge" (irony), it's really going to be Brad "Biological" Hazzard, and Kerry "Dogface" Chant, pulling the strings behind the scenes, anyway. Unfortunately... So I don't really expect anything much to change, bar the optics!
