My Budget Verdict

I have been accused, at various times, of ‘shilling for the government’ and of ‘being a Labor stooge’.
Which means, on one reading, that absolutely nobody likes me at all!
That’s the cost of trying to be impartial, I guess — and a reminder that social media thrives on confirmation bias and tends not to reward nuance.
Of course, on another reading, I hope that most of my readers consider that a good sign.
If I’m annoying the one-eyed supporters on both sides, I like to think that means I’m not slavishly swallowing the PR spin of either party.
