labor 2026: smoking kills
wow, revelation, who knew?
- Comment on Coalition plan to hit 'gangs where it hurts' would slash tobacco tax and legalise vapes 14 hours ago:
My point was just that the noalition are now stealing one nation ‘policy’
Australians really need to think about what that says about us… a country where something like smoking can be used as political enticement in 2026
- Comment on Coalition plan to hit 'gangs where it hurts' would slash tobacco tax and legalise vapes 1 day ago:
this sounds awfully familiar
cheap durries if you vote for us

Casual loading…

- Comment on WA Labor candidate Georgia Tree quickly walks away from influencer asking her about her background working for Woodside | Punters Politics 1 week ago:
Some of the youtubers are more like what “proper journalists” are meant to be than the vast majority of the people working for mainstream media are.
- Comment on WA Labor candidate Georgia Tree quickly walks away from influencer asking her about her background working for Woodside | Punters Politics 1 week ago:
youtuber Swollen Pickles has also done some good work, informative and entertaining.
- Comment on WA Labor candidate Georgia Tree quickly walks away from influencer asking her about her background working for Woodside | Punters Politics 1 week ago:
I would probably go with youtuber as suggested by zero-gravitas
The term influencer is not a positive one, on the internet it means to manipulate.

Difficult to take anything seriously that has “influencer” in the title as if that is a good thing.

If you pay close attention
okay rusty
- Comment on Zomi Frankcom: Penny Wong condemns ‘insulting’ decision to clear IDF over Gaza strikes that killed Australian aid worker 1 week ago:
People often refer to the alp as left (just as the do with the democrats in the usa), but they are just the other side of the duopoly coin, 100% right wing and not a trade unionist party, they haven’t been for a long time.
- Comment on Segal’s speech code meets the law: Justice Fagan wrecks Canberra’s Israel exception 1 week ago:
I ended up using the thumbnail url field, in a backwards kind of way… the same way you mention, by cutting it from the body field, it worked well enough.
The post isn’t perfect, the field with “just a moment” … no idea if that is a source site issue, or just my ignorance again.
- Comment on Segal’s speech code meets the law: Justice Fagan wrecks Canberra’s Israel exception 1 week ago:
Antisemitism, Fagan said, is simply “hostility to Jews for their Jewishness”. It is real, repugnant and must be confronted. Israel is a foreign state. Zionism is a political ideology. Neither is entitled to immunity from condemnation.
Protecting Jewish Australians is essential. Protecting a foreign government from criticism is not.
That quote needs to be shared around, that little bit of honesty, and logic needs to go a long way.

It is more that they assume the people of Australia are stupid after decades of stupidly voting for the duopoly, while pretending one side of it is left of centre, and cares about Australians.
- Comment on A 'huge' trade-off: One Nation's pitch for cheaper cigarettes 2 weeks ago:
It’s an old strategy, but now it seems like politicians have no respect for voters, and are well aware there will be no repercussions for their continuous lies and treachery.
Someone flicked a global switch a couple of years ago, and now it is raining shit.
- Comment on A 'huge' trade-off: One Nation's pitch for cheaper cigarettes 2 weeks ago:
They will use whatever gets the vote, it is irrelevant whether it makes sense, or is good for the country. Australian voters have a long history of being easily bought/conned.
- Comment on Bondi library removes book How to Sell a Genocide from shelves after complaint 2 weeks ago:
Yeah they match perfectly with the new usa pedophile warmonger nuclear submarine base
- Comment on Bondi library removes book How to Sell a Genocide from shelves after complaint 2 weeks ago:
The world would be a much better place were that the case.

- Comment on The new plan to prevent data centres from driving power prices up 5 weeks ago:
I look forward to them also making their own water, and pc parts too.
The Australian government is never going to do the right thing in relation to ai, or data centres.
