In January, in Washington DC, we saw what happens when a movement of brainwashed trolls finds itself with no hope after years of blaming everything on the other team, when the cult of personality collapsed in on itself. Shanks and his team need to take this moment to reflect on what they're trying to achieve, if indeed they are trying to achieve anything at all.

The Auspol Songs of Sixmas
G'day you mob. It's been a while between drinks here at shutupandreadthis HQ, with 2019 ending in such a tumult of fire and fuckwittery that it didn't feel right to run with the annual political wrap-up making fun of the cabal of cruel and unusual monsters in Canberra. But, six months of quarantining has left many of us with a severe case of cabin fever (which is not an official COVID symptom, but still wear a mask).

Blue ties and silver spoons.
We know just how they see us:
Cheap labour for tycoons.
