alienating young voters earlier and earlier in their lives. Good strategy.

Claims ABC told to hire more 'rightwing commentators' to win funding Sarah Hanson-Young turns to a consultant, Andrew Maiden, who was working alongside the ABC’s chief financial officer, Louise Higgins. Guthrie says Maiden wrote “papers for the board”. His role was to help make the case for more government funding during negotiations. Hanson-Young asks Guthrie if she was aware that Maiden had suggested that one way to succeed in those negotiations was “that the ABC needs to hire more rightwing conservative commentators to ease political tensions”. Guthrie: I subsequently became aware of that, yes. Those suggestions were not made while she was present, but she was told about them. Hanson-Young asks if she was aware that the proposal for more “rightwing commentators” was “in a draft proposal to the board that was then revised”. Guthrie was not aware. Asked about the relationship between Guthrie and Milne, she says they had “worked together in the past”.

So a group of future voters are telling the politicians what actions they want the government to take and his response is to tell them they’ll all grow up to be dole bludgers? Nice.

Reclines Obesily posted:But Resources Minister Matt Canavan says he wants children in school learning about how to build mines, do geology and how to drill for oil and gas, "which is one of the most remarkable science exploits in the world". Rather than trying to change the status quo these kids need to get started early on being financially invested in not changing the status quo.

When I was younger I was attending protests for same sex marriage and making fun of the guys who showed up there dressed as V with Anonymous signs and the SAlties trying to coopt the movement. But sure being told I'll grow out of it and same sex marriage isn't going to be a thing the olds then were proven right.

Was going to say in retrospect but honestly this was true at the time and is just more true now. If Turnbull was going to be rolled and Anyone But Dutton had to happen they should've backed Julie Bishop not Morrison. She's managed to cone out of this unscathed relatively and as Morrison has shown he was nowhere near prepared to be a real person in charge instead with this affectation of what seems to be an RSL impersonator of what they think Bob Hawke was like through just watching footage of Australia II. Also ignoring Hawke was always like that and you can't do a seismic shift in personality without everyone catching on. It's why Julia is the only one of the last decade to have an iota of respect - her personality didn't change. She may have taken on politics that were anathema to satiate the right but people can still think they knew who she was and what she was. Contrast with Rudd, Abbott, Turnbull before they started looking to turf him, it's a bunch of people playing pretend in what they think voters want.

Reclines Obesily posted:its okay everyone will be dead from climate change by the time those kids reach a majority of the voting population Most of these kids will be voting in 2-3 years. These kids won't be waiting to enrol to vote, or fail to re-enroll when they jump from rental to rental like my generation did, unless there is a massive sweep-out of right wing parties across the anglosphere and they become complacent, like the late 2000s. I think there's enough to keep the energy up. When I was in high school, activism among secondary students was unpopular, and while I wouldn't say I was ridiculed for it, people didn't really get it and weren't really interested in politics. Most were of the opinion that they were two sides of a lovely coin, and to be honest this was the Beasley era so they weren't that far off. Most of the people I organised with and rallied with were my sister's friends, undergrads for the most part. These kids are far more active than we were. It's not the first time it's happened though. Back when I was a Resistance member, their handbook had a newspaper clipping from the 70s or 80s with a broadsheet front pager making GBS threads its pants because high school students said "gently caress" during an anti-nuclear war protest. Stark contrast against my generation. If Shorten can pull off a half-way decent campaign for his second term, based on progressive principals that actually resonate with people under 40, there's a good chance these kids' votes will actually keep the inevitable supermajority going when the millennials start to slip into their 40s and become stupid, rather than the typical 2nd term hung parliament poo poo we've had for the past two second term governments. That's pretty meaningful if you want to see this shitboat start to turn around.

Literally the same day she made that speech she gutted welfare for single mums. Gillard was probably the best PM since Whitlam but that’s for lack of competition and the idea that she was some kind of “stick to her core principles” PM is laughable

I didn't say she stuck to her core principles I said as a personality she didn't change when she got the job. Compare with Rudd trying to hide hes a sociopath and Abbott's literally everything and Morrison discovering hes a bogan.
