Apple is apple. They don’t make false claims about how walled off they are.
That’s doesn’t make it a good thing.
- Comment on Is Australia's Overton Window Shifting? 2 weeks ago:
Labor might not be left enough for you personally,
Left enough ? They’re about middle right. The US Dems are more policy aliged with our LNP though.
I’m not sure people get out much ? We’ve already done what the US is doing now. Australia’s refugee and immigrant policy is what America and the UK are using (off shoring), its just illegal to report on and the horror is widely supoorted by Australoans…
We deport “criminals” if they have another nationally, as the US now does , we have a bunch of ologarchs, we have legal discrimination against LBGQT+ by fucked up religious organisations. You are not an Australian citizen if you are born here etc etc
There was a strong consensus that Trump style culture wars are toxic in Australian politics
Both sides are bad here in Australia, the horror is so many people disagreeing :(
- Comment on Gina Rinehart urges Liberal party to stick with Trump-like policies in the wake of election loss 2 weeks ago:
Well using logic, only 34% percent of Australians voted Labor. The vast majority of Australian’s didnt want Albo as PM ether.
- Comment on Greens’ election hubris – how the minor party lost its way and now its leader 2 weeks ago:
Pretty much this, the Green vote was about stable, the issue was preferences. One Nation, Trumpet, Liberals etc ended up having thier preferences fall through to Labor.
Bandts seat was realigned, he took in a new section around Pahran etc that was traditional Labor.
As a long time Greens voter they’re not going to get much further then this, they don’t appeal to entitlement and greed and are more science and fact based. An old quote by James Speth sums up why
As Anthony Green pointed out on election night, next election will be worse as the funding laws have now changed and vastly favour LNP and ALP.
I used to think the top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists don’t know how to do that." -James Speth

- Comment on Australia 2025 – Wrap-up of the night 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Dutton's trainwreck defence announcement was everything that is wrong with his campaign 4 weeks ago:
At least the Greens can back their policies with numbers and details, even if you disagree with them. Dutton and Co, it’s just a lot of spooky handwaving and "oooo Labor baaaad! Vote for us! We’ll fix it by mumble mumble
But the latter wins the votes LNP at the last election had the most votes of anyone with 35.7% Greens only had 12.2%
