QLD Labor going hard on the "Vote for Tim Nichols is a vote for Pauline Hanson" line. This was a huge winner in WA, so not a bad plan to be fair.

ModernMajorGeneral posted:Seems more of a problem with lovely Western Sydney residents than lovely foreigners. I can't see any significant relationship between minority communities in Vic or other states and voting no. Eh, the correlation is pretty clear. Perhaps the problem is in your simplistic use of the term "lovely"

When I asked why he believed/converted, he told me that he knew a mentally challenged kid who always gave the correct answer to questions despite not having any logical reason for him knowing the correct answer. When asked about the existence of God, he said yes. Oh yeah, that's the pressing question and not asking how to create a time machine. loving no imagination.

Birdstrike posted:Why is it awkward? If you think that negative attitudes to homosexuality are bad and should be countered this sounds awfully similar to telling immigrants to conform to dominant Australian cultural values, although they were only demonstrated to be so in the last 1 day. Conversely, right wingers are now in the awkward position of arguing (as they were during the survey campaign) for the rights and beliefs of ethnic minorities they previously never gave a poo poo about. Just look at the thread over the last couple of weeks saying 'perhaps the real problem is the Chinese' and people getting uncomfortable about it in response.

'Foreigners' didn't have a vote on marriage equality as you have to be a citizen to register to vote and the survey forms only went to registered voters. As a permanent resident I didn't get a form. I'm proud of my adopted country today though.

So do we want more immigrants that hold terrible conservative/religious beliefs or less now? maybe if they just assimilated better it wouldnt be such a big problem.

Considering being open and not racist towards immigrants leads to far better results with regard to integration, there's literally no need to change the left's position.

The majority of Australians voted yes and there's no reason to believe a conservative immigrant minority will erode that attitude over time, even with increased immigration. The opposite will likely happen. Worrying over this poo poo is irrational, as is blanket condemnation of these communities for not immediately turning progressive within a single generation.

Les Affaires posted:A bit too cynical for my tastes. The bureaucracy still exists in large part to shield politicians from their own stupidity. Think what you like about Scomo but he's wedged between the facts as they are and the politics of his base. He has been in his position long enough to have been explained the basics of modern keynesian stimulus and so on such that you've seen him gradually move his base towards greater intervention to stop the slide. i’m worried that you’re overestimating the capacity of the aps to provide strong, independent advice idk maybe it’s different in the central agencies but in my experience out in line agency hell nothing happens unless it originated in the minister’s office; there’s no appetite for providing ‘challenging’ information up the line.
