Michael Gunner. Chief Minister (essentially Premier with less powers. Like Governor of Puerto Rico. Or, you know, Sturgeon) of the Northern Territory. He resigned earlier this year…

Too bad, I like 'mask off' politicians, no pun intended.

You really should know about Andrews (“Dictator Dan”), though, because it was his jurisdiction where the pregnant woman was arrested, where they came around to that guy’s house, broke down his door and grabbed him, for a Facebook post, and where the vast majority of the very worst of this occurred…

What's going on over there? The worst stuff in the world comes out of the English-speaking world. Sometimes even worse than England itself, and that is impressive.

You know what all three of those have in common..? Labor party outsiders. None were originally from, or grew up in, the electorate they represent (or the city, or even the state, in two cases). Two (Gunner and McGowan) are ex-military. Two Labor right. One far Labor left. But they’re all career politicians, and they’re all extremely representative of the Labor party these days, which, as I said, now “rules” federally, too, unfortunately…

I puke on career politicians. Literally spending their entire lives telling others what to do. No.
