A Twitter incident from Wednesday last week reveals a few interesting things about the Queensland state government and modern politics overall.

I’m regularly on-air with Steve Austin at 5:30 pm on Brisbane ABC radio each Wednesday discussing state politics with Rachel Nolan. If you’ve ever listened in you’ll know it is a pretty freewheeling conversation and both of us are called on to express opinions on a wide range of subjects.

If you listen to last week’s episode around 2:14 you’ll hear me unload on Scott Morrison’s financial profligacy in reacting to COVID-19 ($800 billion in additional debt by 2030 according to the Parliamentary Budget Office).
