Everything I Could Buy With My One-Off $250 Election Payment

  • Half a tank of petrol
  • Four fifths of the family’s weekly grocery shop
  • A federal integrity commission
  • A house deposit or some avocado toast
  • A really nice bottle of wine to drink while I fret over gender inequity
  • One (small) box of Lego
  • A quarter of my last visit to the dentist
  • Two fifths of the family’s weekly grocery shop
  • Extra cake for the next twelve months
  • Ten RATs
  • A dozen packs of hot cross buns (but not the fancy ones)
  • Two therapist appointments to address my perpetual unease that unchecked climate change is creating a mass extinction event and destroying the future of my children and the planet
  • A budgerigar
