And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
This marvellous school community at St Thomas Moore’s, what we see is a school community of about 150 students. There’s half of the kids here whose parents work in defence. This school community is faced, because of Mr Turnbull’s cuts to education and schools funding, this school community faces every parent paying an extra $5,000 per year – an extra $5,000 increase in fees per year because of Mr Turnbull’s cuts.

Honestly, it's super valid criticism and something we're not doing enough to address in the party. We have some spectacular people of colour elected in subnational levels, but we consistently preselect middle-of-the-road white professionals to winnable federal positions.

There's some solid people of colour running for candidacy in those winnable lower house seats surrounding Bandt's. We'll see who actually gets the nomination though, and then beyond that if they actually win it.

DECISION TO JOIN LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
Recently I attended the Liberty Conference in Sydney, a wonderful forum supporting freedom of speech and opposing PC, social engineering and cultural Marxism. Debate and ideas flourished, unlike today's Labor Party, which has barred me from speaking at membership events in Western Sydney (via Sussex Street Stalinist Rose Jackson). I support 80-90 percent of the Liberal Democrats platform, pretty good for someone with strong views formed over a long period of time. Plus, as a party of freedom, the Liberal Democrats allow room for dissent and diversity of opinion (Shorten Labor is only interested in diversity of skin colour, gender and sexuality - Safe Schools BS).
So I have joined up and want to play a role in fighting for our national values, based on personal freedom and responsibility.
I will be on The Bolt Report tonight at 7pm talking about this decision, and the wrongness of Dastyari/Shorten Labor. I wouldn't normally be on that channel but Andrew Bolt has been a great champion of freedom of speech, including mine. We trust you, THE PEOPLE, to listen to various views and make up your own mind about political issues!! It's called DEMOCRACY!!

This $5000 extra thing seems bizarrely huge given the school fees currently appear to be less than $4000 per year.

It might have been a conscious decision but I think "the labor party is completely tone deaf" is always a plausible explanation (even though "the labor party panders to racists".is also very plausible).

The Labor Party isn't tone deaf at all. It just holds certain opinions - certain marginal seat working class opinions - to be more valuable than the race-conscious Twitterati who all vote Green anyway. Shorten (or one of his staffers) only made a response on Twitter to butter that particular demographic up again anyway. Nobody else cares if the ad was subtly racist. It's not running on the evening news bulletins, is it?

I absolutely guarantee you federal Labor has a very large team of people with degrees in marketing, PR, psychology etc working on their ads, and I absolutely guarantee you that team made the deliberate and conscious decision to represent "real Australians" as an all-white bloc. That's what plays well in western Sydney and rust belt Queensland. Nobody cares what the inner-city Melbourne Twitterati think, even if the advertising team is largely comprised of inner-city Melbourne Twitterati.

edit - OK the ad is now on Ten News, but it's 23 minutes past the hour and it's only because it went viral and it's wrapped up in their Monday politics package anyway.

Well exactly. You think some wavering potential One Nation voter in Townsville wants to see darkies in the crowd of "ordinary Australians"? It's loving gross but what fascinates me is that anyone could think (or that Bill Shorten could claim) it was an accident.

Yes, It was most likely an ad designed to speak with the people of Ipswich. Though I doubt it would swing anyone in Katterstan up north. Polling shows ONP vote weakening so ALP want to get a message in first before the LNP and turn a bunch of permablue seats red.
