More akin to "supermassive black hole calling Carlton Banks black" bullshit

My first trip to Europe I experienced shock at the cultural aparthied I witnessed in big cities. It felt worse than what I'd seen in Anglo multicultural countries (US/UK/AU/NZ) which is not to say it doesn't happen there but I could taste the racial tension in the air in EU
I was bitterly disappointed that this video game did not show up as the top result and indeed at all when searched it alongside this quote then stupid me realised it wasn't from Starcraft😅

Property investment is the pre-eminent wealth engine amongst existing residents and citizens in this country.
The term 'cooked' has been around for ages used to describe someone who is crazy in a manner that is consistent with persons suffering from long term alcohol/drug/substance abuse i.e "their brain is cooked"
I think the more recent rise of meth as the country's most pre-eminent substance abuse social problem has helped spawn the term 'cooker' as this has heavy connotations with how meth is consumed and manufactured.
Now with the even more recent pandemic outing a lot of controversial opinions, the term cooker is now concreted into the vernacular as an insult for persons who refuse to grasp basic concepts regarding public health and espouse outlandish paranoid theories in response. Things that most would suppose a person whose brain has been fried by meth would do. Though in my opinion it's a bit harsh on the meth users.

I was trying to find some articles to back me up but internet news was very much at its infancy 20 years ago so I had to refer to Mark Lathams election speech where he listed Labor's promises. That guy was opposition leader for less than a year so i presume most of what he promised was already established and you can see a lot of them were carried through to Rudd's goverment.
In a nutshell in terms of nation building
- more funding for Education
- more investment in Renewable Energy and a Carbon Trading scheme
- funding for Telecommunications (i.e internet)
- tax cuts for Families & Pensioners with the view of incentivising Pensioners to become child carers and easing pressure on young families
Unfortunately much of this was undercooked and/or flew under the radar because the main political battleground was over Medicare. Which Labor ultimately lost. Labor were being painted as socialists who would either fail to deliver on their 'handouts' or cripple the economy in doing so (which in hindsight is clearly an absolutely ridiculous notion).
Just a few brain farts from myself
He was not terribly likeable/relatable with his union ties and somewhat dynastic background.
He was a capable administrator but not a very good politician.
He was up against the full might of Howard's media alliance. Media coverage of Crean was lukewarm on his accomplishments and trumpeting at his fumbles. Coverage was so one sided it hurt.
In my opinion a Crean government would never have happened because he was a clever man in a stupid world. Labor were trying to sell nation building when all the voting population was interested in was war-fervour and lining their pockets. Only when Labor switched gears with Rudd and started playing the populist game did they manage to achieve some political success. Truly dark times in Australian politics.

If by endless you mean the repeating 12 or so on the wrapper reel?
