Matthew Beet posted:Ricky Muir is probably more representative of the electorate than most elected officials. Almost certainly. I've been saying this since the election. On the other hand, Jacqui is actually pretty representative of Tasmanians too

cpaf posted:Do you think someone who has paid no attention to politics their entire life and votes 1 X party because their parents did is magically more democratically responsible than someone who abstains from voting? They suddenly deserve an opinion and another person doesn't? A pretty big chunk of Australians are fed up with inane and homogenised two party politics but god forbid someone fail to perform their civic duty as an upstanding citizen and abstain from voting because by golly it really matters. Leaning out the window and talking to your neighbour about the mistreatment of asylum seekers is a bigger accomplishment than voting in an election where your preferences will probably elect Ricky loving Muir. I agree with most of this post but I would take Ricky Muir over any ALP senator in a heartbeat.

If it's "p.dumb" you should have no problem proposing a much more reasonable alternative then. Let's hear it.

You all should take note from QLD. Abolish the senate = less stupid politicians. The math is simple and undeniable.

The Latham handshake was hilarious. He went from almost winning to the media portraying him as literally insane. Years later, the media would be proven correct.

Democracy is p.dumb imo. It would be better if I was dictator IMO hahahahahah lol Everything is poo poo, we're all poo poo, gently caress Australia, gently caress culture, let's endlessly deconstruct the minutae of each other's fictional characters in cyberspace to maintain the pretense of cynical political cosmopolitanism while the best parts of social democracy are systematically destroyed by barbarically simple brutes right in front of our faces and we all become subsumed in an utterly dysfunctional and unsustainable consumerist nightmare I'm going to cover my whole head in peanut butter and smosh it into a retard's rear end in a top hat

Should probably be putting people like Andrew Wilkie and Cathy McGowan forward as champions against the two-party system rather than a dude who throws kangaroo poo poo at people and gets strongarmed by Scott Morrison into sending asylum seekers up the river. I mean Nick Xenophon is a huge piece of poo poo as well but at least he's not a drooling idiot; it's a really American thing to have a lust for parliamentarians who are about as smart as the average voter or preferably worse.

The highest rates of Cancer, Parkinson's disease, MS and Asthma (ever notice how Asthma information is all over dental clinics? There's a recognised link between fluoridation chemicals and Asthma). There is also a high percentage of adults and children suffering from Dental Fluorosis Australia wide!

Goon drama is best drama. Fruity probably got a box cutter and some duct tape for secret Santa. re fluoridation chat. I have personally stood at the base of Mundaring Weir and watched the pump house fluoridation light thinking about how Kalgoorlie kids have better passive dental health than me.
