can't wait for air forces to go back to using prop planes due to running out of money for increasingly expensive jets.

They'd be about as useful to us in a shooting war with anyone in our part of the world. The only thing we use fighter jets for is following America into Pointless War #2437.

Reality check time. How will Albo get past the fact that he recently split up with his partner? Who will he parade around during the election when trying to convince people of his family values?

When was the last time a candidate for prime minister wasn’t at least attached, even cursorily like Gillard? Even Hawke had Hazel, much to her admirable sacrifice. Its not even a line of attack for the LNP, I doubt they would bother and everybody seems to have some sort of truce about not dragging family into politics, but I definitely think it’d be causing some second guessing in the Labor party.

Synthbuttrange posted:Could be worse. Give it time. It's Australia. Things move slower and with less intensity but mostly imitate our larger cousins. As suggested in this article, Shorten was Aus labor's Miliband. Use that to judge how many years we are behind the UK and extrapolate out to predict a date for when we catch up to them, which (if my calculations are correct) will involve an election where a completely failed lnp still decisively beats an improved labor but falls behind a new fringe right party formed when Pauline Hanson walks away from her own party to start a new even more narrowly focused but equally nationalistic one.

starkebn posted:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/27/its-a-myth-that-aussie-battlers-handed-the-coalition-its-election-victory Many of these claims are based on confusion between aggregate movements in vote choice and the behaviour of individuals. They find that electorates with lower than average incomes, lower levels of education, and more renters, moved towards the Coalition. Besides linking (often small) swings with overall levels of support, they are also committing ecological fallacies. All this data tells us is that electorates with these characteristics swung towards the Coalition. You cannot make inferences about individuals from aggregate data. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What gets me about that "I stopped these" trinket is just how incredibly boring and tasteless it is on a physical level. It's not even a model, just a cheap-as-poo poo laser-cut outline of a cartoon boat. Not a depiction of anything real, but a flat image. Just like his public persona I guess

The F35 is hilariously ridiculous in its process to getting here but essentially the very reason why we support it (close ties with the US) is the very reason we don’t need it (close ties with the US. We have it so that tie remains strong, the annoying part is dumb forever wars by idiot US presidents but if we ever got into anything the US would be there in two seconds
