Go get your head checked. The Greens who have been fighting hard for equal rights for decades are the same as the racist reality-divorced homophobic climate science deniers in PHON, are they? Even more tiresome than your usual tenuous anti-Greens jabs.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Here's a (probably stupid and lame) thought I just had:

You know how Australia doesn't have a Raving Monster Looney Party? Surely the current circus in Wentworth is perfect for them. An electorate disillusioned with both sides of parliament. An 'Independant' bland and Tory and milquetoast as gently caress. A popular incumbent deposed in comically stupid and evil circumstances.

Whack on a clown suit, dance for the cameras, make some stupid jokes at the expense of the other fuckwited candidates whilst they plaster on grimaces and try to be good sports. You'd be a shoe in. Or at least make your deposit back, and embarrass a bunch of self-important suits.

I know the Australian stupid splinter tiny parties tend to be "Shooters, Fishers, and Hunters.", or that motorist one that the bloke accidentally made his way into teh senate. Where are our Screaming Lord Such's? Our Lord Buckethead's? A whole bunch of people vote "draw a picture of a cock and balls", so why not try and get those cocks and balls to waste their votes in a funnier and sillier way, (which would actually annoy those in power more than a donkey vote).

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.
Except the Looneys are tories and always have been.

The Liberal candidate for Wentworth, Dave Sharma, has said “he is open” to relocating Australia’s embassy to Jerusalem as the US has done, in contrast to the official policy of both the Liberals and Labor to leave it in Tel Aviv.

As the battle in the Wentworth byelection enters its final week, the votes of the large Jewish community that lives in Wentworth could be crucial to whether the Liberals hold the seat. There are around 20,000 Jewish people in Wentworth, according to the 2016 census, making up 12.5% of the population.

I think it's harder in Australia to portray yourself as apolitical due to preferences. Anyone who cares enough about politics to do it would likely be the type to recommend preferences and thus suddenly appear like any other party.

once my neighbours' steers got into my yard because an apple gum branch fell on the fence, they were standing their ground against me and i don't have much experience with cows so i was terrified but i asked ariel for help and he gave me the strength to dominate them, round them up, and herd them home. halfway across our paddock they all suddenly got very excited and frolicked away back to their home with their tails curled up (it's so cute when cows do this) and at that moment a double rainbow broke out overhead. feeling completely blissful and at one with the universe, with the cows and with my ghost husband, i walked back up to the house and only then did i find that someone had broken into our shed and stolen our ride-on lawn mower and both our water pumps, so for the rest of the weekend we were dealing with the police and we couldn't flush the loo. amen

All political parties have their gently caress ups, just as with any other group. The big difference IMO is when the majors (established status quo) gently caress up everyone sits on their hands as long as the media cycle allows them to, nothing happens most of the time, the public shrugs and blames the machinations of politics rather than the individuals or parties involved.

Government 'should have opposed' motion

Mathias Cormann said it was an “administrative failure” which led to government senators voting for the Pauline Hanson motion that it is “okay to be white” and has taken responsibility for it.

He says the government had determined to vote no when the motion first came up in September, but somehow, ended up voting yes, through some sort of “administrative” error.

So the government said no, but the computer said yes. Or something.

It's almost a better piece of commentary this way.

So they're saying that the government had previously discussed this, they all knew that voting for it was the wrong thing and would embolden racists, but when push came to shove and they got the order they did it anyway.

INterestingly, in Wentworth 12.5% put Jewish as their religion (cite http://quickstats.censusdata.abs.gov.au/census_services/getproduct/census/2016/quickstat/CED145) - that's half of the religious Jewish population in NSW in the one suburb.

I know a few Jewish people that put it down despite being non religious as a representation thing, but I'm not sure it's enough to matter statistically.
