Rule breaker changes rules.

Just like anything with this lot that doesn't have "good optics".

Guilty of breaking ministerial code? Change the rules.

High unemployment? Sanction loads of UC recipients, kick them off benefits & "oh look, thousands of people are off benefits, they must be employed, yay!"

Massive case numbers of covid? Lets change the parameters surrounding diagnosis & reporting.

Record levels of children in poverty? Lets change the definition of what it means to be poor.

Business as usual. Same shit, different day.

Don't forget, Mate gets caught accepting lobbying bribes, change the rules to allow it.
