In Australia, the #local is the nearest pub. It is also someone accepted as a true member of the community. They work together; one determines the other.
Am I a #local, yet? In my #local it is "You're only a #local if you've been here 40 years, and even then, only if we say you are. So #STFU". Of course I don't; they listen & they might reply now & again; they put up with me; but I don't have the years in me to become a true #local.
Aussie's special form of #Trumpetism, our own #fakenews, brought to us from the highest office in the land, & known as complete #bullscott.
The 'Gladys for Warringah' story was 100% bullscott.
