It’s interesting that I can’t find a single video on youtube of what was happening there so I’ll stay quiet for now :P
- Comment on Greens senator defects to Labor 2 days ago:
You seriously gonna take the word of a Courier Mail
Nah the comment I linked to was a person who was there:
Not really. These protesters were out of control.
Five members of my family were dropped off by a taxi next to this protest to go to a nearby restaurant and were immediately set upon by a few members of the protest group.
My family members included an elderly couple, a middle aged couple, and a teenage son.
First the protestors demanded to know if they were attending the Wickham event, and they replied “no, please leave us alone.” (I mean come on, an elderly couple going to a dance event, c’mon).
But the protest group kept following them and harassing them all the way to the Japanese restaurant they were eating dinner at.
For the record, our family is generally left leaning, and has no ties whatsoever to either the Jewish or Islamic communities. They were simply passing by.
They’re all very shaken up by it even a few days later.

“I’ve worked hard to make Australia fairer and much more reconciled, but recently, I’ve lost some confidence in the capacity for the Greens to assist me in being able to progress this,” Cox told reporters.

That is brutal :|
With now zero Indigenous representation and 1 muslim senator, if they lose her then they’ll be fully transformed into the inner city virtue signalling party who spend their spare time harassing jews

- Comment on Secret figures show Liberal party’s ageing membership in freefall in NSW and Victoria 4 days ago:
I’m a bit iffy on this, all this proclaiming the liberal party is dead after 1 admittedly bad result
I feel like a similar article about low membership of Labor could have been written about after 2013:
The Labor Party recorded its lowest two-party preferred vote since 1996 and lowest primary vote since 1931
en.wikipedia.org/…/2013_Australian_federal_electi…
Maybe because I’m old and the liberals have been in power 2/3rds of my life that I just refuse to believe if they put someone who isn’t a complete muffin in charge they won’t claw back a large amount of seats

They were expected to take effect from September 1, giving police time to prepare for the changes, according to Allan.

But she has brought it forward thanks to people like this lovely chap:
Also these 2 died earlier in the year because of gang violence in Melbourne:
Multiple young men have lost their lives in fatal stabbing incidents in suburban Melbourne in recent months, including 24-year-old Lino Atem in January and just over a month later, 24-year-old Natan Mwanza.

Melbourne has massive issues with violence and it has been going on for years now
Victoria Police said a hardcore group of young offenders aged between 14 and 17 were responsible for the sharp rise in aggravated home burglaries.

This is Australia, we are a first world country and every opportunity to better yourself, we shouldn’t have criminal scum like this running around.

and then after all the looting and protests, nothing happened, then the Americans elected Trump again because they had such fond memories of how good everything was the first time around
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 1 week ago:
yep the biggest worry isn’t AI, it’s India
www.worldometers.info/…/india-co2-emissions/
The west is lowering its co2 output while India is slurping up all the co2 we’re saving:
This doesn’t include China of course, the most egregious of the co2 emitters
AI is not even a tiny blip on that radar, especially as AI is in data centres and devices which runs on electricity so the more your country goes to renewables the less co2 impacting it is over time
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 1 week ago:
we’re rolling out renewables at like 100x the rate of ai electricity use, so no need to worry there

i think sadly the community isn’t big enough, been keeping an eye on the daily users and it’s been hovering around 150 users for a while now, 0 growth
iirc someone said something along the lines of you start with the broadest tent possible and then as the place fills out it will naturally expand outward and create smaller tents for more specific categories
so i’m in favour of merging them and hope we reach a point in the future where we need to separate them

i would say 50% trump, 50% terrible policies and leader
the huge turn around in the polls came when trump started tariffs and demanding ukraine pay for protection, essentially ending the since ww2 idea that we can rely on America for protection
dutton did himself no favours coming across as the worst person in australia and some of the worst policies, not only not matching a tax cut but denying it might be the most unliberal party thing ever, i was legit 🤯

I saved this from 5 months ago: aussie.zone/post/15598435/13409792
It’s not just the Israel/Palestine stance (which I don’t want to get into because I’ll get downvoted to heck) but a big part is housing, they were seen (rightly or wrongly) as delaying housing, as someone who voted for the MMC to see him doing this killed me
There was other things but a big one that stands out to me was this:
The Reserve Bank should lower interest rates tomorrow and if they don’t, the Treasurer should use his existing powers to bring down interest rates
…org.au/…/greens-wont-support-rba-reforms-until-l…
That is absolutely fucking insane, it might just be the most insane economics policy I’d ever seen, this is Donald Trump tier idiocy, it’s a similar line to wanting to get rid of the Fed Chair in America but even he backed off after realising it would screw things up badly
The central bank is independent, if the government starts setting the rates then what is the point of the whole central bank?
There was loads of other things they did
www.9news.com.au/…/0f7564a9-9615-47a8-aec9-414380…
But anyway
Looking at NSW and Victoria council election results, I expect the Greens will gain votes and maybe even a seat or two, I doubt there will be drastic gains or losses.
How you feeling ?
