Christmas gift ideas

This year, why not consider a Government Inaction Figure™ — the perfect educational toy for young Australians who will grow up navigating systems where nobody is ever responsible, nothing can be changed and all outcomes are regrettable but inevitable.

Each figure comes fully articulated with pre-programmed phrases such as:

“We’re following the rules.” “These matters are outside our remit.” “It’s not something the government directly controls.” “We acknowledge community concerns.” “We’ll take that on notice.”

Despite appearances, these figures are not broken. They are operating exactly as designed.
