Informative article, but how did it pass the editor? Half the paragraphs begin with "it said." Reads like a series of dot points or bad LLM writing.

Well she has full confidence of the Chancellor that I'm sure has nothing to do with the contracts for mates or the free travel.

I've been enjoying the AFR articles on the VC. I got out just in time I think.

Why would he want to be informed? Then he has to lie rather than just make shit up.

No you have to wait until after the election so the LNP can go "oh did we say +$8.5M we meant -$8.5M, classic sign error sorry lmao."

Not that I'm aware of? Technically the king/queen is head of state and that term is until death, can't get much longer than that.

Agreed that PM is different, they don't weild the same power the US president does. But in terms of time, Robert Menzies was pm for a total of 18 years and John Howard was pm for 12, so you can be for a long time. Politics have just been much less stable in the last 20 years.

It probably depends how much fractional power and money is behind the PM. John Howard was PM for a decade after all.
