Nice meltdown

quote:

What do you think of Bill Shorten?

Back in Queensland, my colleagues Eliza Borrello and Nick Haggarty have been asking voters what they think of the Labor leader.

Here's what 18-year-old Acacia Sharpe from Townsville had to say.

What do you know about Bill Shorten?

"Um I haven't heard much about him before."

Malcolm Turnbull?

"No, not him either."

Are there any issues that might decide who you vote for in this election campaign?

"Um no, I haven't heard much about anything really."

What about education, or jobs or gay marriage? Are any of those things you're interested in?

"Education... More support really for the kids."

So Bill Shorten's got a plan to spend more money in Townsville than the Coalition, is that something that might get your vote?

"Yeah, most likely."

Do you think you'd have to look into it a bit more?

"Yeah, definitely."

How would you describe your voting intention, voting for one or the other or undecided?

"Undecided really."

What do voters think of Bill Shorten?

Back in Queensland, my colleagues Eliza Borrello and Nick Haggarty have been asking voters what they think of the Labor leader.

Here's what Jean-Francois Desiage from Townsville had to say.

What do you think about Bill Shorten?

"Bill Shorten, well for me they all make good noise and all that kind of stuff but you really don't know where they're going."

What do you know about his background?

"I've seen he was like young labor movement, student movement. After that I think a few years ago he was disability minister of some sort and that's when he actually started to sort of climb into the rank."

Are there any of his polices that you like?

"Some of them yeah... But again you know he needs to be elected to put them on and who says he's going to put them on?"

Do you know what he's been taking about most here in Townsville?

"No I have no idea, I would say he's been talking about... the work, all those things that have been closing lately, maybe the reef as well, you know that's what they talk about in Townsville."

Are there any issues that are important to you that you'd like to see them make a promise about?
"Oh make a promise, they do a lot of promise here. Work... I work in a kitchen. You can see people aren't coming anymore. They do the turtle, they put their head in and they don't spend money."

What do you think about Malcolm Turnbull?

"If I was voting Liberal I would vote for him. There was a lot of things attributed to him, that he would do that he would say, that would be happening, now that they they're here well we don't see those things happening. Is that because it's an election year and they just want to protect themselves as much as they can?"

Have you decided who you're voting for?

"No idea... I might vote for the Greens, I don't know."

Solemn Sloth: Jul 11, 2015; Baby you can shout at me,
But you can't need my eyes.

quote:

Building group James Hardie, which left NSW taxpayers to pick up the bill last year for funding shortfalls to its asbestos victims, has found enough cash to start marketing and advertising its products in Australia after "going dark" for a decade amid the scandal.

Its Asia Pacific marketing head, George O'Neil, told Mumbrella that he is guiding the 127-year-old company back to public prominence via social media.

"We are not sitting there with hundreds of millions of dollars of media budget; we are lean," he told Mumbrella. It would also target the company at a younger demographic who would not so readily associate the company with its asbestos-tainted history.

James Hardie will target social media.
James Hardie will target social media.
"The younger people are, the less there is that stronger emotion, unless they are directly affected by it," said Mr O'Neil.

A quick search of a couple big social media sites reveals a James Hardie offical twitter account run out of its American operation and a very similar Facebook page for America and another in New Zealand.

The scandal of its asbestos legacy was compounded in 2001 when the company moved its operation offshore and set up what it claimed was a fully funded victim compensation fund.

The fund ended up being short funded to the tune of $1.5 billion.

Last year James Hardie washed its hands of any responsibility for a shortfall in compensation payments to asbestos victims as it reported robust profit growth and rewarded shareholders with a $US98 million special dividend on top of its second-half dividend of $US120.3 million.

Just months before, Andrew Constance, who was then NSW Treasurer, agreed to increase the state's loan facility to the Asbestos Injuries Compensation Fund (AICF) by more than $100 million after a blowout in expensive mesothelioma claims threatened to leave the fund short of cash for future claims.

Mr O'Neil said that its market research provided surprising results about how popular its products are with the Australian public.

"We were surprised when we started doing focus groups, there is actually a huge amount of love out there for the brand and for the products we make," he said.

I can't see this backfiring at all.

the greens are running a literal accelerationist against albo.

Jim Casey, who is running against Mr Albanese in the inner-city seat of Grayndler, made the comments in a video recorded in September 2014 and posted by the Greens Party on YouTube.

"I would prefer to see Tony Abbott returned as prime minister with a Labour movement that was growing, with an anti-war movement that was disrupting things in the streets, with a strong and vibrant women's movement, Indigenous movement, and a climate change movement that was actually starting to disrupt the production of coal," he said.

"I'd prefer to see Tony Abbott as prime minister in that environment, than Bill Shorten as prime minister without it."

Well Liberal policy has barely changed since Turnbull tool the reigns. At least with Abbot it was quite obvious how they were loving everyone over.
