The election thread - Two middle-late aged white men trying to be blokey and convincing..., same old shit, FFS.

Did you hear him saying George Pell was the greatest person he's ever known? Dafuq?

They are playing to a severely unhinged support base. The further they can shift them from reality, the more certain those punters can't return to sanity or rational decision making.

Alan Tudge is quitting. The Libs only held Aston by a bee's dick, I think they'll lose it.

You might be right but someone who isn't Alan Trudge could improve things for them.

Edit: Then again, they haven't been very good at choosing people who aren't from the right of their party.

Does Dutton have a brother? Preferably whiter, more male and further to the right. That's how we will win the inner city trust fund babies back!

Sitting Governments statistically don't win seats in by-elections. Having said that who knows, maybe we'll be lucky and they'll buck the trend this time. Could work with enough Greens preferences maybe.

Rumors going that they are going to try parachuting Joshie in to take his place....

I did see that. It is probably a decent strategy considering the complete lack of experience left. I would love to see them try and see him fail to get a seat

I live in Aston. Will be interesting. Tudgy was well versed in keeping the his-vis man on side at the sporting clubs. Labour don't try too hard and the greens don't try at all. I lost faith in my electorate when they returned him while suspended.

 

[Halo1]

Is the high vis man reference from Tony Martins sizzle town podcast or is it being used elsewhere?
I have only heard it with Simone Hate and that is the only political commentary worth listening too at the moment.

 

[slowmick]

You are on the money @Halo1 - I get a lot of laughs from Simon Hate.

Aston by-election to be held on April fools day.

Disingenuous bastards.

'Astroturfing' claims as Aboriginal elder's image used without consent to spruik pro-fracking website

Ray Dimakarri Dixon has been a long-time critic of fracking in the NT's Beetaloo basin. So it was with surprise that the Mudburra elder learned his image was being used without permission on a website advocating the development of the gas-rich region.

Good to see juice not giving Labor a free pass, for their shitfuckery.

Turdoch media gibbering about Roald Dahl books etc getting sanitized by their Netflix owners, instead of any reporting of the multi BILLION dollar lawsuit against Turdoch by Dominion voting machines Corp.

Fear, loathing and deranged bullsh!t

I remember when political correctness was a joke of the Left. It was the 1980s, and it wasn’t even called political correctness yet. The contemporary term of art was ‘ideologically correct’. It was usually deployed with a smirk against comrades and fellow travellers who were so performatively...

There is no way Dominion isn't winning that. The evidence they've presented already is near overwhelming.

Reckon it'll get settled out of court soon rather than Fox wanting more dirty laundry aired before a Judge.

I have read elsewhere that Dominion is not interested in settling as they want to be able to get everything out in the open as evidence.

Meanwhile back home, the absolute disgrace that was the Robodebt scheme, as being shown through the ongoing RC, is getting SFA air time on any mainstream media platform

Yep that is pretty sickening. On ABC I have heard some truly appalling stories about victims of this, and it's so disheartening that many people involved still think it was OK.

Yeah but if everything goes absolutely perfectly then one day my super might be worth something... So rather than worrying about indexing things, or just reviewing the cap rate in the future, we just shutdown all discussion now! #they'restealingyoursuper

god I hate people...
