Just because you like the Rolling Stones doesn't mean that you want rocks to be falling on people.
What are you fucking talking about?
And that's what you're facing all the time.
Picking up some pointless piece of minutiae and lighting it on fire and making a smoke screen to cover up the reality of the fact that that prime minister...
just worked his ass off on behalf of the country and successfully achieved a bunch of things and should be patted on the back, you know, not pushed down the stairs.
But there is a timidity, I think, is probably the thing in terms of how Australia is run.
Things like the gambling ads and stuff like that.
Common sense would tell you this is not a good thing to allow.
put the timing of these ads back so kids are asleep or whatever.
Don't let them read out the odds on the news.
You could fix that pretty quick.
But that gambling section of the community is worth a lot of money and people in positions of power because it's not necessarily, it's not the guy that's going to spend his whole wages gambling through an app that gets to have a say in this.
Family money allows him to run a string of 18 racehorses and he enjoys going to the races on the weekend.
And gambling for him is not such a big deal because he's got an income from other things, blah, blah, blah.
So the wrong perspective on a problem sometimes is the actual problem.
Generationally, it's not something that I can โ from my experience, I can tell you this.
So I had to have a โ when I had that conversation with my boys, it was a broader conversation about gambling and about what it takes to earn a dollar.
