Um, apart from one terrible fuck-up after another? The Ruby Princess, the vaccines, the vaccines, ignoring travel restrictions or starting them after events they wanted to go to or exemption Hillsong, the vaccines again, arguing with Dan Andrews for actually doing stuff, more fucking up the vaccine rollout...
The only reason Chauvin was held accountable is because of the degree of public outcry. The cops didn't turn him in out of an abundance of civic duty, they did it because we gave them no choice.
In the overall picture, Australia did well. Not as well as some other countries did (e.g. New Zealand), but much better than a lot of others. We had nothing approaching the disasters in countries like the UK, US, or Brazil (or Belgium, IIRC).
Sure, but I'd say that was despite the LNP, not because of them.
Most of the Covid issue arose from allowing people to cross a border that was meant to be closed
Belgium did pretty well by European / North American standards. It just used criteria for official reporting that was so wide it very likely ended up with a substantial overcount. It's thought if it used the same criteria as most Western countries, it would have cut its covid figures to as little as half.

Everyone, on both sides of this trial, is being problematicWelcome to woke world where now apparently if you think men could be the actual victim of abuse you're alt-right
Opinion: From Gamergate to AmberTurd: alt-right hijacks the Depp v Heard trial
The overall effect on women’s rights and domestic violence victims could be catastrophic
The Depp-Heard trial is monstrous. It’s just the start.
Amber Heard is just the first target of a new extremist playbook.
Literally both of those articles explicitly say women can be the perpetrators of abuse.
unless it's Amber Heard apparently. Or any woman who actually people think of as "on their side" along with the activist types.
...but neither article says anything like that. And the second article even specifically brings up the allegations of abuse by Amber herself. The articles are simply not doing what you're saying they're doing.
Don't worry about it. He's just doing identity politics. Reading is not necessary. In fact its way better if you dont
I have to say, I have avoided the dismal shitshow that is their case to the maximum of my ability. There are few things more depressing than publicly scrutinising the wreckage of two troubled people's catastrophic relationship.
I do not normally say this about things. Usually dealing with small drama is important for people even if there is bigger stuff, say a war in Ukraine, that could be stated as more important and invalidates the small stuff.
Normally, yes, but if the people are high profile enough, they affect public opinion and that can be a real problem.
