- Comment on Cash crisis averted by $50 million bailout to keep Armaguard afloat 6 days ago:
They were all over Telegram as well, i lurked for a while but after a few months I wonderd if the stupid might take by osmosis, so I left. Some of the shit, take an ounce of sanity and then roll it with a giant doobie if inanity and toke away.
Like there was some dude saying Climate change wasn’t real and sea levels could not risen and he had way to prove it… Put an ice cube in a glass of water and wait for it to melt…see, sea level rise is a lie and they all agreed with him that it was all bullshit. It took all my self control not punch myself in fave for wasting time hanging with these dipshits let alone wailing in frustration and reply about the entire education system failing them. Who do they Vote for ? Fucking hell
- Comment on Government waters down vaping ban to win support of Greens 6 days ago:
Seems a big call to say workd leading ?
laotiantimes.com/…/laos-to-ban-e-cigarettes-amid-…
The Lao government is set to amend its legislation on drug prevention and control to incorporate electronic cigarettes into the list of prohibited substances. This decision comes in response to the escalating issue of e-cigarette addiction, particularly among the youth population in the country.
Don’t know about enforcement over there though.
And that seems a reasonable balance ??? Or am I.missing something, banning doesn’t do shit but make it worse, turning a medical problem of addiction into a criminal one.

- Comment on Attention-seeker or renters’ champion? The Greens MP driving pollies up the wall 2 weeks ago:
I saw a great video if his somone has ripped from Tik Tok about housing, dude actually gives a shit about housing, explains the complete bullshit of Labor Housing policy and how it’s really just money in the pocket for developers.
Let’s hope he manages to hang about and doesn’t end up like Carolyn Lucas in the UK and leave becase of the toxicity, or worse still, become one of the innumberable asshats in Parliament.
Also gives me more appreciation for the shit Bandt must have had to put up with when he was there on his Pat Malone.
- Comment on Federal Coalition commits to dumping 2030 climate target as it pursues nuclear power 3 weeks ago:
To have any chnave we have to engage in demand destruction. There are NO solutions involving growing the economy, we’ll fuck around trying though and make it much worse
It doesnt have to mean a shitty life, it does.mean a differnt life eg no car and cycle and PT means no car costs, denser quieter cities, large houses banned, small really well insulated homes only, less deaths from car polluton etc. We need to ban flying, close airports etc
All we’re doing now is greenwashed nonsense and blah blah blah. At mimum we should be building no more roads and only funding e trains and e bus lanes etc
We’ve barley started with planned withdrawal from coast lines.
We either crash the economy (preferably equitably) or we collapse civilisation, were out of choices, we have left it to long. Neither the ALP nor the LNO are up to the task but that’s on voters supporting those assholes.

- Comment on Parliament blocks Greens attempt to recognise Palestinian statehood 4 weeks ago:
Israel is just fighting a war now, and they did a lot to avoid it.
Imagine punching somone in the face for decades, they strike back and you bawl abiut them starting it.
It’s like a domestic violence sufferer finally striking back after years of abuse.
- Comment on Parliament blocks Greens attempt to recognise Palestinian statehood 4 weeks ago:
That has pretty much been the case for decades. Labour haven’t been *left" since Gough Whitlam was PM.

- Comment on Details of defence deal with Israel kept under wraps to protect Australia's 'reputation' 2 months ago:
Because I don’t remember voting on that
But surely anyone voting LNP/ALP must know that? Decades of voting for the orthodoxy means this is the inevitable for seeable result. The only ones occasionally pushing back againt this shit occasionally is The Greens.
None of this is new, I remember back in the day Bob Brown, an Australian Greens Senator and party leader no less, was banned from Parliament during a speech by US President Bush. As an Australian I was horrified. How is it that a member of our parliment was banned ?
The ALP lost it all after Gough was booted out and stopped being an alternative party and became the other arse cheek of the orthodoxy. He wanted to throw the lid off the shenanigan at Pine Gap.
Yes, I’m that old, yes I Vote Green

Thank you.
- Comment on Who to vote for? 2 months ago:
15 years The Greens, 10 before that Independent, 5 before that Labor.
Why ? Becase the nations political and ecnomic policies are based on cruelty, exploitation and entitlment, so at least I don’t have to support that by enabling it with a vote.
The Greens policies are more likely (not all but more) to be based on science, the enviorment and/or kindness
I don’t believe The Greens are radical enough but my hope would be the Overton Window could be moved if there was a mich bigger swing to them, so we can at least discuss the more radical policies that are needed without being shouted down by conservatives.
I would always vote, I have no real hope that will change authing but If I am bothering to Vote I might as well do the right thing
I’m 58, I hold some pride in knowing I have NEVER voted for a winning candidate in any election I have ever voted in, it’s not me helping cause this fucking mess by continually voting for heartless grifters.
