The ICAC revelations are as nothing compared to the unseemly hagiographies for a disgraced premier who CHOSE to quit BECAUSE SHE MAY BE SOON FOUND GUILTY OF CORRUPTION! The suckhole bourgeois elites who trade blandly mediocre uni degrees for careers in media are a dumb joke.

Historian Peter Turchin theorises cleverly, with abundant historical data, how a glut of over-educated elites eventually begins to sap social integrity, this happens when too many qualified but self-serving individuals, all of a type, form cliques and cabals of opinion...
This homogeneous identikit elite faction eventually can do no more than unconsciously conspire to spin discourse in ever decreasing circles. They almost don't mean to do this, but as their careers depend on assimilating a dominant paradigm of - let's call it mediocrity -
...the inevitable reflection of themselves reflecting their contemporaries in style and fashion, using the same clichés and tools to shape the dominant social image in their own image, inside what can be called a mirrored tent, means that, despite being trained to dispute..
...and question the structures of power, their vaunted place of status and influence within that structure guarantees they can never fully resist maintaining and upholding the very thing they should or could be interrogating.
But to resist or to go against, means career suicide. And as there is a glut of carbon copy fellow elites pressing to replace them, the safest course is acceptance and bland adherence.
