So Auspol thread - as an Australian national working overseas and only visiting very occasionally, it is hard to get a handle on the feels of the politics like I used to. Is the new Labor government going to be a Hawk/Keating or a Rudd/Gillard?

Is the new Labor government going to be a Hawk/Keating or a Rudd/Gillard? We would be so lucky for either. EDIT: If we're really lucky we'll get more left minor parties, but I don't think anyone is holding their breath for that.

Moon Atari posted:He accepted the position with a statement about his dedication to fighting for free speech (specifically, repealing 18C), but more importantly, his concern for the most important human right of all: freedom from taxation. Whatever happened with 18C? Did they finally shut the gently caress up when they realised it protects Jew from anti-semitism as much as it protects the dirty brown people from Freedom of Speech (TM)?

gay picnic defence posted:Whatever happened with 18C? They gave up on a direct attack. But it could be said that the drive to have a religious freedom bill which they haven't yet introduced for hilarious reasons is an attempt to get some freedoms to have a win in the deadly culture wars. They'll come back to it if they're in majority government some day.

It's still a housing policy that is miles ahead of the LNP. Hoping for the best socialist paradise outcome every National Conference will just leave you disappointed. You need to manage your expectations and always hope for a policy in between Jeremy Corbyn and Paul Keating. Dreams are hard left, reality is soft left. That is until the siren song of revolution plays nation wide. Like music to my ears I open up my revolution cabinet and pull out a hatchet. My lawyer neighbour asks me what I'm getting up to. Revolution I reply as I throw the hatchet square in his face. Anyway as I was saying. It's still better than the LNP and indeed by a fair bit.

Solemn Sloth posted:cool cool, $127,500 per house to property investors, change i can believe in Yeah. It's obviously designed to offset public opinion on the changes to negative gearing. The most efficient use of that money would be to give it to the community / social housing providers like they did in 2007/8 with the building stimulus.
