https://www.smh.com.au/national/it-s-over-cory-bernardi-s-only-victorian-mp-sensationally-quits-20180804-p4zvic.html It's over: Cory Bernardi's only Victorian MP sensationally quits ...with less than four months until the state election, Cory Bernardi’s only Victorian MP has officially deserted him, accusing the federal senator of undermining her campaign and gossiping to journalists about her.

quote:“Former members of parties such as Australian Christians and Family First are particularly upset with the lack of structure,” said Dr Carling-Jenkins, who represents the western metropolitan region in the upper house. Ahahaha so the "conservative" vote will split further, stretching the Libs resources to attempt to corral a firm preference flow. Well done, Cory.

I think that was done by an American group called uCampaign via the ACL, and I'm not sure if Bernardi was directly involved. Given he's connected to several corporate lobby groups in America (The Heartland Institute and the American Legislative Exchange Council) it wouldn't be implausible. God knows the right can't think for itself in this country.

It wasn’t exactly sudden either. Hindsight and all that but still, you could see what was happening in the US before they came here, and even then they were only offering Black cars for ~6 months or so in Australia. That should have been a clear enough warning. How many more stories are we going to get about boomers getting hosed by highly risky, non-diversified investments? (Property lol)

I guess perhaps the great irony is that there has been a hegemony for a long time WRT taxis and now that hegemony is breaking down, the current taxi business model isn’t sustainable. It sucks that really it’s the people who wanted to bat with the big boys without having the money who are getting screwed. I still lmao about the time I had a taxi driver threaten to punch me and an uber driver in the face

I frequently have to take taxis for work and they're very often the most hostile, uncomfortable environments to be in before having to meet with someone or apply yourself to a situation. I got out of a cab one day, refused to pay and called a second because this bloke just would not shut the gently caress up about uber and in particular uber driving Indians. I had to repeatedly ask him to give me some peace and he thought that meant he wasn't angry and loud enough for me to understand the problem.

God knows the right can't think for itself in this country. Yes, because the Americans use these apps to micro-target their electorates, so it's only natural for Australian "conservatives" to ape their behaviour. Is there no end to this man's narcissism that he brand an app in search of a cult of personality? And it's a bit laughable that CPG journalists cry about twitter and its "silos of opinion", while politicians busy themselves creating them to control a protected base, where journalists will never be welcome.
