- Comment on Huge swings to ONP, against Libin today's SA election, small swing against ALP, towards Greens 1 week ago:
Sadly there’s too much for me to reply to
what information does that give them? What would the Greens do if they wanted my vote? All my vote really says is, “I prefer this other party”, but not which policies I like, or even if it’s the policies I have a problem with.
They can get quite a lot out of it, if you live an exciting life like me and tried to read
Review of Labor’s 2019 Federal Election Campaign
alp.org.au/media/…/alp-campaign-review-2019.pdf
They go into detail on where and who was unhappy with them, for example:
Labor’s position on Adani sent a message to workers and their families in central and north Queensland that Labor did not value them or the work they do, a problem magnified by the Stop Adani Convoy. A perception Labor was not supportive of the mining industry may have also damaged the Party across the rest of Queensland
The swing against Labor was driven by a mix of national and local dynamics. The Labor-Greens agreement that underpinned the minority state Labor government in Tasmania from 2010 to 2014 remains a sore point for many voters in northern Tasmania, who view the Greens as implacably hostile to their interests, values and livelihoods. For a Labor candidate in northern Tasmania, any perception a vote for Labor could lead to more power and influence for the Greens is very damaging.
So while in isolation a single vote doesn’t accurately tell the pollies what you’re after, in aggregate they’re the loudest voice in teh room
Our biggest weapon is our labour. If you, me and millions of other people all voice a unified demand and stop going to work, that’s both a more accurate weapon (they know precisely what we want changed) and a weapon that can bring a government to its knees - look at revolutions overseas started by strikes. And it also works against companies which don’t even let us vote!
I’d agree in principal because there are plenty of examples in history to show when workers said this fucking sucks I’m not doing this anymore and they all collectively agreed to stop work it does work, but I guess I can’t see this happening as much anymore, the demands are also strange
ABC journalists to strike for first time in 20 years with widespread news disruption expected
“Management have played very dirty in negotiations and don’t think we deserve pay that’s in line with inflation (despite giving themselves massive bonuses). They won’t even make an assurance that AI won’t take over our jobs.
I was like when has it ever been a thing that you get a pay raise in line with inflation? isn’t it always what the market offers?
“No one has provided any evidence to me to suggest ABC staff are paid less than industry standards,” Marks said. “In addition, the leave provisions ABC staff receive are generally more generous than many other major workplaces.”

I myself have no reason to do this as my life is too comfortable, given by all the RAM trucks and SUV’s I saw on the way into the city today it seems like we’re in a real K shaped economy

Damn we’re off to a bad start
Voting is an extremely vague way to “tell Labor” anything
I completely disagree with this, voting is the main way to show support to a political party and it’s platform, if you’re not getting votes it’s pretty clear people don’t agree with what you’re offering
Labor are still butthurt over Bill Shorten trying to reduce house prices 7 years ago and losing an unlosable election because of it, just like how businesses ultimately listen to money and your biggest weapon is where you spend your money, politicians listen to votes and your biggest weapon is where your vote goes
You can see the impact PHON has, even though they only got a tiny % of the pie in SA the big parties are keenly aware of them and why people are voting for them
“I also think we saw Labor voters moving to One Nation,” he said.
Mr Malinauskas dodged questions about any future federal pivot, stating he was “very grateful” to be Premier. But he had a message for his federal and state colleagues.
“You’ve got to make sure that, first and foremost, the economic settings are right to ensure that a growing economy doesn’t leave people behind and actually delivers a dividend for more people to have a degree of prosperity in their lives,” he said.

And specifically to Labor, their own rank-and-file majority have been overruled by the Albanese leadership on some very significant matters
That works right up until it doesn’t, there’s nothing to suggest labor couldn’t have a giant swing against them at the next election just like when the greens managed to get through in 22, sadly most people don’t care for gaza quite as much as the Greens for some reason think they do and people didn’t care for what they were offering and thus the decline, tbh the greens should really be shining right now, absolute shambles from them
Program: Is this the start of Pauline Hanson’s ‘orange wave’?
www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/…/106487270
To be honest I don’t think I can vote PHON first preference because my god I might throw up but i’m certainly not happy about it
In terms of unions I’d be more inclined to support them if they better represented me, the demands they seem to levy are egregious that have me siding with businesses going damn that’s crazy

the anti-immigration rhetoric is largely i think a misdirected attempt at getting what they think is causing inflation, high cost of living and high house prices
i might be a labor/greens voter, or was labor/greens now firmly labor but the greens seem ok with islam and labor are doing me no service attending mosques to get boo’d
apparently they don’t know where their main voter base stands on the 7th century radically violent religion
so im looking for someone who is also anti-islam, this used to be the “reason” or “science” parties which seem to have disappeared leaving me with the usual wankers at the bottom of the voting card (a dredge of right wing loser parties who I can’t figure out who to put last)
what would you have me do? i put the greens first labor second for a long time to push labor towards more renewables, im happy with what they’ve done, now i want action on islam
over my dead body do i want phon in, but how do i tell labor what i want? i did that putting greens first previously, am i not right to do the same here?

but I seems like Israel wanted to do a landgrab in Lebanon and told the US it’s doing it.
tbf Hezbollah firing thousands of rockets at Israel gives them every reason to do so
It wouldn’t surprise me if America hopped on at the last minute to make it look like it’s not being lead by Israel
I assume Bibi has Trump in his pocket
