    Sure, #AlboPM is the best of three evils (#Labor, #LNP and #PHON) but there are alternatives if voters bother to think about it longer than a couple of minutes. And, I get your point about #SkyNews but would also point out it’s free to air everywhere. Here again, if voters were to think for more than a couple of minutes, the #Murdocracy wouldn’t have such a hold on their lazy brains.

    Sorry if I sound harsh, but choosing a lesser evil rather than working to get better representatives into #Parliament is just apathetic #democracy and there is an enormous price to pay for such #complacency.

  2. CW: Language Warning

    I had an early dinner tonight and thought I’d use that down time to watch #ABC #Insider because I knew #DavidPocock was on the bill. There’s not much that I’ve drawn from watching it (hopefully not a bellyache from eating too fast).

    Pocock said all the right things despite #Speersie’s efforts to repeatedly ‘corner’ him by asking the same question using various words, not listening to the answers, and giving #PHON oxygen (the leopard hasn’t changed his spots).

    The panel grudgingly swatted away most of the msm and social media anti-tax propaganda without really explaining it for the audience (the panel could very have been reluctant to give the govt brownie points if they explained how the tax system actually works). Jeezzz, there’s a lot of dumbfucks out there…

    Speersie was speersie;
    The panel was the beige kind of panel Insiders normally has on;
    The set has not changed (forgot how horrid the colours were, nearly put me off my dinner);
    LIttle useful information was disseminated, at least not that I heard;
    And I stopped watching when Pocock was done with because… well, becuase it’s #FoxSiders of course.

    There is a lot of legislative work to be done if govt(s) are going to do something about putting Australia on better footings to cope with what is coming down the line. And #Madhats (#LNP #Nats #PHON) aren’t ever going to do anything about it. Our meak and timid #Labor govt(s) are too caught up in the #Newscycle to roll up their collective sleeves and get to work (time is running out, that much is obvious) and that leaves a #CluelessElectorate , too #UnderThePump to see their way clear to send the only electoral message that ought to matter to all Australians, that is to vote for the #Greens next time around. Because only the Greens will act out of #Ideology (the good and prgressive kind for the greater good) and not #ElectoralSelfInterests (a nice way of saying #Corruption and #StateTheft #NeoLiberalism )

    #Queensland the #Corruption State…
    It’s seriouly hilarious to see all those RWNJs voting for polies who line their pockets and their party’s coffers while in the electorate are stupid #PHON and #LNP voters also mad about inflation, afraid to lose their jobs to immigrants, unable to afford a house or rental, and raging over fuel prices. Well, it would be extremely funny if it wasn’t for the sad state of politics there.

  13. What a load of bollocks. The putting *food* production under severe strain argument used by #PHON and anti-environmental river flows to stop flooding of eenvironmental easements is absolute BS. And News outlets are promotong the lie.

    "...[In] the policy Taylor announced. He announced a blanket exclusion of permanent residents from the major welfare programs of the Commonwealth. He did it on national television. He did it with the explicit framing that non-citizens are a fiscal problem to be solved. And he did it in a country where roughly one in six residents is a non-citizen, and a much larger share than that lives in a household with at least one non-citizen sitting at the dinner table."

    The #LNP Leadership has fallen into the eroneous idea that voters and their votes can be reckoned as 'tokens', accounting numbers to be debated about and used to come up with targeted policies that will stop the #BleedinoOfVoters to #PHON. This is good analysis, worth the read:

  23. The #Liberals & their #PHON & #Nationals mates are blaming 'non-citizens' for nearly everything. We non-canines can hear the dog-whistling. We know what toxic #nationalism looks and smells like. With about 50 yrs of #Oil left, #electrification is essential. #AngusTaylor joins the #populist road to oblivion. They are simply scientifically and economical ignorant #Budget2026 #NetZero
