This $2.4 million payout is the only public interest aspect to this whole story

I agree let's continue to clean up that Canberra bubble

1. National Corruption Commission with teeth

2. Illegal for political party donations to exist

3. Reduce the number of managers and consultants. Regain the governments expertise in running the country and not outsourcing it

4. Create a new public bank that can provide home loans and insurance policies for the general public
Agree with all four.

Nothing to do with Brittany Higgins though. She probably got raped while she was drunk. Workplace tried to cover it up. She got some money. Not that much really in the scheme of things. But dudes are super mad. There's waaaaaaay bigger stuff to get mad about what your taxpayer dollars get spent on.
