Don't give up on hope. There is still more than a year to go to the next Victorian state election. Dan Andrews is making an unworkable sky rail. Every cent put into it will have to be spent again replacing it. Already we can see what the press will do, employing hysterics, to defend Andrews against a competent Matthew Guy administration. We can see this in Queensland where an indigenous candidate has been told to resign following the posting of a picture of the candidate next to a person in 'blackface.' It sounds as if the member may have been contravening a new anti speech legislation put through parliament by ACT's left government. But in fact it was a picture of the two going to a dress up party, and the other was going dressed up as the former Yothu Yindi singer Mandawuy Yunupingu who died earlier this year. It is an anthropologist myth that Aborigines don't want to see depictions of dead ones. The myth is promoted by the ABC and SBS, and it is expected the regular crowd will be reliably outraged. The candidate, had posted the picture on FB, and then taken it down before the outrage. But the outrage lobby scent blood. Kerri-Anne Dooley has the support of the LNP President. But what of her colleagues in Canberra who passed the new legislation? Will Turnbull ever stand for free speech? Let us assume the worst for the moment, that it was a denigrating black face costume to antagonise the outrage industry. It still isn't as bad as the crown prince dressed as a Nazi. How will Guy face faux outrage?
Meanwhile there is outrage in NSW after an autistic 7 yo boy had been secured to a chair. To be fair, there is no indication that the child was being educated. Another 15 yo non verbal boy has been self harming at home, and questions are being asked of his school regime. The department has been inappropriately mainstreaming such children. Allegations of bullying could be made, but mainstream schools are not equipped for such care. Sometimes, such children are not tested so as to keep them in mainstream schools. Meanwhile the Department of Education in NSW has never found out what happened with Hamidur Rahman. The outrage is saved for the Department trying to do the 'right thing' with limited resources, but an expanding budget.
Scott Morrison is still an effective voice, pointing out that South Australia should not hide incompetent fiscal management behind their GST share. Also, if renewables are improving, then they do not need subsidies. Julie Bishop won't approve of either idea, because they weren't proposed by a woman.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.
