The Turdball spike is exceeding the Rudd Revival. We are all DOOMED

Sorry I'm late! Yes we should have open borders. A free flow of human movement globally is inevitable and and the concept of nations and nationalism is poison. If you don't like the natural inclination of humanity to move then you can start your own extremist commune with big walls over in Patagonia or something.

Anidav posted:The Turdball spike is exceeding the Rudd Revival. Well what was the Abbott spike like? As much doom and gloom as it seems, I don't think it will be as clear cut when it comes to the actual vote. I think that (should the movement against Nazi asylum seeker treatment continues) momentum against the right should pick up. If labor makes the correct move and dumps shorten they will pick up some goodwill with the voter base.

Trying to misread these polls as saying Labor will bounce back is impossible.

Since leaving office, Labor leader turned semi-professional troll Mark Latham has tried to position himself as an unofficial spokesman for the people of Sydney's west. But he may have burnt through whatever credit he had left in his beloved homeland with another baiting appearance on Channel Nine's The Verdict, in which he attempted a spirited defence of the word "Negro". The panel show - which has hired Latham as a regular guest - was discussing former cabinet minister Eric Abetz's use of the slur during a radio interview last week, which earned him widespread condemnation. But Latham, ever the contrarian, protested that he hadn't received "the memo" informing him that the term had been deemed offensive. "Back in the '70s and '80s, 'Negro' was actually a respected, dignified alternative to really racist terms like 'friend of the family' and 'darky'," Latham began. "So I must have missed the memo somewhere in the '90s or more recently as to when 'Negro' became unacceptable. "I'm happy to make my weekly donation to Australia's outrage industry by saying 'Negro, Negro, Negro'." Shocked host Karl Stefanovic responded to Latham by quoting the Oxford Dictionary, which notes that the word has been regarded as outdated and offensive since the Black Power movement of the 1960s. But the Lair of Liverpool (who prefers the Macquarie Dictionary anyway) was not going to be silenced by the bureaucratic boffins at some word-book-thingy. "Well Karl, I could walk through any street in western Sydney and no one would find 'Negro' offensive," Latham declared. "And who are these unelected, self-appointed people who've decided that we all need to speak like them? Who are these people?" Clearly taken aback at the display, fellow panelist and psychologist Sandy Rea told Latham: "You sound like white trash talking like that." Latham was supported in his crusade by News Corp columnist Miranda Devine, who declared that 'Negro' was not offensive but in vogue, employed by such contemporary figures as ... Martin Luther King. "The word 'Negro' is not offensive," she said. "It's used by older black Americans. Martin Luther King used it in his 'I Have a Dream' speech." Mr Abetz, too, had noted in a statement that King used the word 15 times during that famous speech. Senator Jacqui Lambie disagreed, reiterating her call for Abetz to resign. "He's at the end of his career and he needs to step down," she said. During Thursday's episode of The Verdict, Latham revealed that he had done some further investigative work and discovered that "at the ABC, you can't use the word 'Aborigine'." He compared that to Fair Work Commission vice-president Michael Lawler's use of the word "c----struck", which was aired during an episode of Four Corners last week. "It's now got to the absurdity of policing political correctness in Australia that at the ABC they can broadcast the word 'c----struck' … but they can't use the word 'Aborigine'," he said. "This is totally out of control." It would not be the first memo Latham has missed since the 1960s. Since leaving the Labor leadership in 2004, Latham has stirred up controversy through his columns in The Australian Financial Review (published by Fairfax Media) and the Spectator Australia, and as a talking head on Sky News. Latham had targeted women, the mentally ill and victims of domestic violence in his most incendiary columns. One of his most notorious television appearances came in 2013 when he attacked Andrew Robb, now the trade minister, over his history of depression. Latham resigned in disgrace from the Financial Review in August after being outed by Buzzfeed as the owner of an abusive Twitter account. He also fell out with two editors at the Spectator, Tom Switzer and Rowan Dean.

actually, jfc, in the medium-long term what are australia's most important strategic relationships china, indonesia, usa you can mount a legit case that a pm could be rubbish on domestic issues if he got those above relationships right and still be on balance a good pm because lets face it in the last 40 years aus owes its stability to the us and its prosperity to its ability to dig things up and sell it to china malc actually understands that poo poo in a way that even krudd didnt dare talk about so yeah he will go down in history as a legit good pm

[Solemn Sloth posted:Loving the "but kids don't know anything about policies or parliament or the constitution" responses never go full comments posted:No, unless voting becomes voluntary, and that's not likely to happen anytime soon. Most 16 year olds are far more interested in tweeting, facebooking, even phoning, relationships, shopping etc than to vote. So, is the AEC going to prosecute them for not turning up to vote and fine them what - $20? More likely most 16 y/olds will not bother to enrol. Its a numbers game for Bill Shorten, or any political leader, on a promise.

If caring more about Facebook, twitter and shopping than voting disqualifies you then the greens and family first would be fighting it out for government.
