Why the fuck is this even being considered? I know, money, but c'mon Australia.....

Gold Coast mayor says he looks forward to considering a ‘formal development application’

"Looking forward to considering", sounds to me like a very formal way to say fuck off...

Maybe, maybe not.

Tom Tate has a history of being an utter whore for real estate developers.

He'd slather himself in horse diarrhea with a smile on his face if he thought it would get him a new bribe.

But an association with Trump might shock enough people to give him a hard chance to get re-elected.

So he's probably considering if he can get a big enough bribe to retire so it doesn't matter if he doesn't get back in.
