Changing of the guard as the drums beat louder

IS IT too little, too late for Labor now that Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has stepped aside?
The pre-Christmas power shift at least gives a bit of breathing room ahead of the next election for whoever steps in, but whether the electorate will be listening is another matter. Regular change in power is not a bad thing. Incumbency, as Queensland shows, and Victoria for that matter, leads to laziness and poor management decisions and once those leaders go the taxpayers are still stuck footing the bill.
A BIT OF RIZZ
There’s many pressing issues in the world but as the year draws to a close, it’s good to see there’s still time to talk about nonsense such as the Oxford Word of the Year. This year’s word is ‘rizz’, which is essentially an abbreviation of charisma.
Kids abbreviate everything, so it’s hardly innovative.
To use in a sentence: ‘What do I have a lot of and you have very little? That’s right, it’s rizz.”
So that’s Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year. Can’t wait for 2024.
Another annual trophy is the Time Person of the Year, which goes to the indomitable Tay Tay.
She joins Hitler and some others considered the most influential of influencers on the global stage.
I completely agree with this one.
