It was only a matter of time before an irate tradie threw hands at them.

It's a bit late now, but what are people's thoughts on whether this is the right community for this? It seems pretty political, even if it's not about a political party.

For future posts, should things like this go in [email protected] or is [email protected] ok?

Edit: I think the sense I'm getting is that this would be at home in either community.

@Dave @Ilovethebomb blocking the motorway seems like public interest reporting. I guess follow-up reports on trials and mp responses is for politics.

Personally I don't think it should have to go in politics, but then I don't really mind political posts (even party political stuff, although already a bit over the election campaign!)

Yes, agreed to put it in politics.

Everything is political to some extent though, where do you draw the line?

That's the question 😆. For this one, because they are directly campaigning the government to do something, it seemed political to me. But that's what I'm seeking opinions on.

This one seems a lot more politically focused than say the article about the company intentionally damaging archeological sites that was posted earlier today.
