I’m sure many of your fellow Australians feel the same way. Is it possible to get her out of power? Do the people get to decide these things or is it those in government. Just asking because I don’t know how your government works. I have been to your country and I loved it. I came close to moving there some years ago (actually back in the 80’s). I especially loved the “Milk Bars”. Do you all still have those?

Wong is part of the Labor government. An elected senator from the state of South Australia. The Senate is the upper chamber of our bicameral system as per the U.S. The Prime Minister appoints ministers usually based on party factions ie the Foreign Minister,equivalent to your Secretary of State, must be a member of Parliament, unlike in the U.S.
Sadly milk bars are a a dying thing. Maybe find one in a country town, but seldom in the inner cities, where they were once common.
The famous Newcastle Song setting was outside the Parthenon Milkbar in Hunter Street, Newcastle NSW. It no longer exists, but fortunately the song immortalises it. Many an American serviceman got a shake at the Parthenon. And maybe a Chiko Roll. Be sure to youtube the Newcastle Song for some classic Australiana
