It often seems as if the Australian left is always six months behind their bonkers thought-leaders in America, but in at least one case, our loony left was way ahead of their time. Americans might have AOC, but long before that dynamo of dumbassity, Australia already had Sarah Hanson-Young. “Sarah

Remember when celebrities just did their little dance and sang their little song and didn’t endlessly lecture us about one “progressive” cause after another? Neither do I.
