The six tumultuous years of Labour have bequeathed the new Prime Minister a country in which all aspects of the economy, public life and society are in disrepair.

The police who arrested Zoe Buhler in her kitchen didn’t shout, they didn’t threaten, they just unemotionally processed a very pregnant, upset and bewildered woman, showing neither hostility nor empathy. They were 'just following orders,' say apologists for Daniel Andrews' police enforcers
