Was just thinking someone should make music specifically for boring middle income white people. Then I remembered Ben Folds.
#
10:38
Just to be clear of course, I like Ben Folds. I'm just pretty open about being a boring middle-income white guy. WHOSE ROCKIN THE SUBURBS.

STILL NOTHING on free-to-air television! Seriously what the hell is even the point of tv news services in Australia

I haven't got any idea what's actually happening, but I'm imagining Turnbull breathing hard, carrying a sword and covered in blood.
