The ACT party needs to be completely destroyed at the next election. Anybody who supports them should be relentlessly mocked and humiliated and shamed.

I can't believe this actually happened in our Parliament. What is is this? the 1700s?

Parliament isn't the correct forum for it, but cups should be promoted in school along side the others. It is far more sustainable than tampons and pads.

Act are arseholes, and this was stupid of them. If this wasn't being used to bash beneficiaries it would be good to see, we need more everyday sustainability discussed.
