UPF crying that the Police wouldn't let them counter the rally with force and terror. I like how they don't even hide it anymore, just flat out admit that it's what they want to do. They should change their acronym to NSDAP already and get all the pretense over and done with.

There are two things you are voting for; House of Representatives and senate HOR: this is your "local" representative and is voted for from you and your surrounding suburbs. Number all of the boxes from 1 (favourite) to however many there are (normally 4-7) Senate: this is your state's representative, it's proportional and the counting is complicated . But this year it's simpler. 1: number above the line at least one box in order of preferences. Doing this lets the party choose the order they want their candidates to be considered. 2: number below the line, there is a minimum (I think 6) and you can order each parties candidates as you wish or even skip those you are not interested in.

I like how they don't even hide it anymore, just flat out admit that it's what they want to do. https://www.facebook.com/unitedpatriotsfront/videos/290152271319232/ Yeah I saw the UPF video where Blair was talkiing about the dumb rally. He couldn't help himself and had to put in "racial marxism", or whatever that is. I'm suprised he didn't edit it out. Also he's a little misinformed, the UPF/TBC didn't stop any rallys from going ahead, as far as I'm aware. The small that occurred was between a small subgroup of the Antifascists that came out, while there was 300+ people rallying for multiculturalism down the road (from reports). Also, Blair threatens anyone/any organisation listed on the left-wing rally leaflet. Also once again, there's some hectic rhetoric. You can't claim that you were after a peaceful protest and then kicked the rear end of "lefty scum" (actually the video suggests it was even at best, plus someone lost a fuckload of flags). It's some pretty amazing saltyness though, although at this stage I wonder if the extreme rhetoric is due to feeling empowered, or because they came off second best. I really don't know what they were thinking when the TBC (somewhat of a UPF ofshoot) organised a rally in Coburg, of all places. Either they knew that this was going to be the outcome, and they wanted to come off like it's a struggle in order to justify even more extremism in the future, or they legit thought that it was going to be a great place and a great message to put out (Rally against the left-wing isn't that great, no real temporal proximity). In any case, they weren't likely to get any local support, and the locals were pretty annoyed that a bunch of duders were bussing it in to fight. They should've held it in the CBD or something.

Low point of Insiders today: Barrie Cassady tut-tutting at Nova Perris retiring, making a whitesplaining point about career politicians. She got a bucket of poo poo poured on her for even going into politics, but that snarky little niggle because she was successful in another field indicates how divorced from reality a privileged senior political journalist can get.

Sometimes I quite like ABC comments: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-27/koukoulas-election-2016:-will-the-war-be-won-in-the-west/7450818 TimonofAthens posted:If you think punishing the LNP by voting in a likely GLP coalition will advance your interests, think again. It won't. Todd posted:No, Timon. Normally, you would be correct. But please look up fiscal eqaulisation under the GST and understand how it works. It is the growth in WA that has lead to the collapse of its economy. You see, a growing economy normally requires growing infrastructure and growing spending on services., Agreed? This would normally come from higher tax receipts that come with more economic activity. Since 2001, however, under fiscal equalisation, the extra tax from growth goes to those States that are not growing as fast (even more to those States going backwards). S, the growth means the same or less tax coming in, but with higher spending requirements (more people means more schools, hospitals etc). Barnett did not squander the boom, the benefits were given to States like Tassie and SA. That does not mean Barnett is blameless. He has ignored the only solution - secession.

Election 2016: Labor has George Christensen and Peter Dutton in its sights When George Christensen announced a $725,000 grant for CCTV cameras at Airlie Beach this week, he noted the surrounding Whitsunday region was a "drawcard for visitors from all over the world". It has also proved a drawcard for senior members of the Coalition in the early weeks of this election campaign. The Prime Minister, frontbenchers and even former PM Tony Abbott have made the trek north to lend the controversial Nationals MP a helping hand. Is this a sign he could be in trouble? Labor certainly thinks so. It has high hopes of claiming two big Coalition scalps in Queensland: Mr Christensen in Dawson and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in his outer suburban Brisbane seat of Dickson. "They're very much in play. They're clearly in our target seats list," a senior Queensland Labor figure told Fairfax Media. "They're two candidates that are both divisive in their electorates." Mr Dutton and Mr Christensen, widely despised by the political Left, hold their seats by relatively comfortable margins of 6.7 per cent and 7.6 per cent respectively. But Labor strategists believe the two men are on the nose locally. Labor claimed to have third party polling showing Mr Dutton down to a slim 51-49 two party preferred margin in Dickson, but would not provide the data. The party has also been circling the seat of Dawson, dispatching the likes of Bill Shorten, Kate Ellis and Kim Carr to boost their candidate Frank Gilbert's fortunes. Mr Shorten spent much of the first week of the campaign in north Queensland. "We made a point of going [to Dawson] when we were up there last - and it wasn't just to play with George Christensen's mind," another senior Labor source said. What Labor strategists see in Dawson and Dickson mirrors what they believe is happening around regional Queensland and suburban Brisbane: disaffection with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and lingering resentment over the dumping of his predecessor Tony Abbott. They also believe the Coalition is getting nervous, evidenced by an increasingly loud scare campaign about refugees and border protection. "There are places where unemployment is rising, the economy's not doing too well, and they're pretty cranky with the Turnbull government," the Queensland strategist told Fairfax Media. "Working class punters in Mackay liked Abbott. He's a straight talker, not a spiv. They haven't adjusted to having a Point Piper millionaire as prime minister." Coalition figures privately rubbish Labor's ambitions, pointing to a recent Fairfax-Ipsos poll which put the government ahead 58-42 in Queensland. It was by far the Coalition's strongest state. Even with a 5.7 per cent margin of error, Labor would be hard-pressed to pick up many Queensland seats if those results were reproduced on polling day. Labor is targeting 11 seats in Queensland, and needs 21 seats in total to form government in its own right. Ewen Jones, Mr Christensen's neighbour in the Townsville seat of Herbert, is also a Labor target. He says the presence of senior leaders in north Queensland is more to do with the importance of the state to the general election outcome. "I don't see George in any real trouble," he says. Mr Dutton prompted outrage last week when he said refugees were often illiterate and innumerate and would take Australian jobs. And Mr Christensen has publicly sought assurances that refugees will not be settled in his job-starved electorate.

Thoughts on Glenn Lazarus? I had rock bottom expectations when he came in saying Bjelke-Petersen was his political idol, but he seems like one of the "least worst" cross-benchers. He's a bit quick to play the race card (halal, "war on Easter", foreign ownership etc) but overall I would take him in the senate 100 times over before Lambie, Hanson, Day etc..

He's certainly not the least worst crossbencher (that honour goes to Ricky Muir) but he's not been bad. Like Lambie, he's kind of a straight shooter, which is both a good and a bad thing but arguably better than another party benchwarmer like Patterson.
