Cr Mackay choosing to focus his farewell speech on hatred. Talking at length about how the right considers it "fair" if you get more the harder you work, while the left considers fairness "everyone gets the same". Dog-whistling his support of Israeli apartheid.

Since the first time I met him, wearing a US Republican pin just a week or two after the January 6th insurrection, it has been totally clear to me that this is a hate-filled, bigoted man. He has repeatedly lied about and misrepresented the views of road safety advocates, and has repeatedly been accused of bullying behaviour towards his coworkers.

He will not be missed.
