      Hmm. I’m a multibillionaire with an empathy deficit and borderline psychotic tendencies, and I’m in a perpetual pissing contest with my fellow billionaires. I wonder if I should let the masses take away some of my money through tax to spend on education and healthcare, or spend a fraction of that amount sowing division and mistrust and duping the plebs into blaming other plebs for their problems, which are, in fact, mainly due to me hoarding excessive wealth. Tricky.

      It’s not a coincidence that social media was flooded with bots shilling One Nation and the party started rising in the polls after Gina the Hutt (Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest person) decided she was done with the Coalition and went to Mar-a-Lago late last year.
