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

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

Albo's $300 Vax payments are a pretty safe bet at the moment...can't pay out what you can't roll out.

ScoMo has been on the ropes for months and the first we hear out of the opposition leader is this daft shit? Labor are going to be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yet again if they keep serving up candidates as weak as this.

(I note this isn't just an Australian problem either. The UK Labour leadership is equally as uninspiring right now. )

The ALP's complete capitulation on tax reform last week just shows how confident they are of winning the next election (i.e. none). This cash grab is just feeble window dressing to attract attention.

But at least all politician's benefit from the tax reforms...

I meant safe as in...it's $300 nobody has to spend. The ScoMo retort was pretty weak too. At the moment people not wanting to get vaccinated aren't much of an issue...it's the inability of people to get vaccinated.

I happen to agree with you though, it's pretty weak to sit back mouth shut and not have anything ground breaking to say on significant issues. It's the mouth shut tactic that the libs have used against various labour leaders over the last 20 years quite successfully. ScoMo and his clowns have given up plenty of ammo, just need to take well targeted pot shots.

Populist at best.

Hey, remember that time Scotty from Marketing tried to get his mate an invite to The White House?

Brian Houston charged by police for allegedly concealing father’s child sexual abuse (theage.com.au)

He didnt just try, he succeeded.

Deserves to be in this thread too.

One to remember come election time...

You spoke too soon, had a chuckle when I had seen this.

Finally a catchy poster!

I rather enjoyed this critique of Scomo, made all the more sweeter by the presence of Rotorburn's favourite meme...

 

[pink poodle]

Can someone explain to me how these kids aren't Australian citizens please? Being born here, I liked expect they are as Australian as anyone else born here and thus have rights that are being overlooked.

Canavan is clearly a stupid cunt, but...Chester shows himself to be not much brighter in leaving the people of Afghanistan to the end.

I think you're trying to find a stick to beat him with.

 

[Dales Cannon]

Women of Afghanistan really, their men have shown no balls and the women are the ones who will be persecuted. Piss fucking poor but after 20 years....

Afghanistan is a disaster but then it's always been. Nobody's ever been able to establish any semblance of law & order beyond that of hardline sharia on the part of the Taliban and even then it was only just loosely governed with local warlords really calling the shots.
Successive US Presidents have been kicking the can down the road but it had to stop eventually.

Personally, I think the ease with which the Taliban has retaken control has been a deliberate move by the US. Rather than keep supplying an under-staffed and poorly motivated Afghan national army to fight a bitter and most likely futile civil war that could rage for years, the US has elected to rip-off the band-aid in the hope that it'll be long forgotten by the time the next US Presidential Election rolls around in 3 years time.
