#victorianelection — Public Fediverse posts

I feel a bit disconnected from those expressing great relief and happiness about the Victorian election result. I guess it's because I never thought the Coalition could win, but I had hopes and dreams for a hung parliament.

So rather than feeling relieved that Daniel Andrews is still Premier I'm contemplating all the work that needs to be done - for example to stop native forest logging and new gas projects.

A hung parliament wouldn't have solved all our problems, but it might have made it easier to get the changes we need.

Anyway, direct action ahoy.

Very glad to see that the #Murdoch media's campaign to defeat Labor in the #VictorianElection failed in the end.

I don't want our media to be so dreadful and right now, they are. They're failing us by spreading misinformation, by being blatantly pro-right wing, in an era where we desperately need progressive action to combat what lies ahead.

My friend Tim Carruthers writes a guide to the micro-parties for every election and I find it very helpful. We have similar views and values so warning: you're not going to like it if you vote for the Palmer United Party.

Sharing his guide for the Victorian election from Facebook here.

The #victorianelection is getting worse - all the racist bigots in the #LNP coming out of the woodwork.

Yep, Dan Andrews is “so desperate” when he labels people who’ve previously done Nazi salutes at the Shrine of Remembrance as Nazis.

No, he’s not.

Far-right extremism is on the rise and the Victorian Liberals are preferencing them.

Good on the Premier for calling that out.

Translation:

Axe pandemic laws: leave the state unprepared for and unable to act during the next pandemic.

Abolish taxes: underfund services.

Unite Victoria: an empty sound bite. They’re not going to do that when they run bigot candidates who support gay conversion therapy and refer to First Nations people as “bloody aboriginal”.

Attack cost of living: they’d try. But their neoliberal approach never works - trickle down economics was a scam from the start, but conservatives like the Liberals and Nationals can’t let it go.

Also, I’m tired of Murdoch shoving this conservative propaganda in our faces.

In his papers, on SkyNews or FOX overseas.

I’m over it.

It’s entirely bias and partisan, he’s trying to install the leaders he wants into the states and countries he reaches.
