Mainstream Australian journalism has been progressively going backwards at a time where transgender rights and gay marriage and throuples are often considered a triumph of modern society, not least by aforementioned Australian journalists.
It seems the more Australian journalists hyper focus obsessively about fringe political movements like transgender rights, gay marriage, throuples and non binary status among minors, the least likely they are to notice extremely important things like lawyers corruptly profiteering from dodgy strata building construction, corrupt universities. Big accounting companies running the country. In an effort to be 'cool' Mr and Ms everyday Australian is easily manipulated by corporate interests falsely claiming to hyper care about gay inclusivity: just a distraction like bribing a small child with candy. A stand out issue, paedophiles changing nappies and raping babies goes unchecked as too hard to fix, something gender studies and critical thinking at college might actually enable instead of thwart.
Amongst this backdrop of turds you can imagine Nick McKenzie striding in, his green checked kilt flapping in the wind, his back pipes strung across his back like a Bon Jovi guitar. The sinews of his calves pumping up and down.... You get the idea..
