So a journalist from The Australian just called me, peppering me with questions about this album cover from my band’s 2019 demo, for a piece in tomorrow’s paper. So uh, sad at the state of our media, but happy someone’s obviously been listening to @SeriousDangerAU

The High Court has said we can’t ban political donations because it would impinge on our implied right to free political communication - but now says that right doesn’t protect employees who criticise gov’t. So political expression with cash is better protected than words?
