just got to get the murdoch papers to insult a group of football fans in the aftermath of a stadium disaster to get a successful boycott going. see liverpool.

The thing about this is, every football fan should be boycotting them not just Liverpool. Because it's not because they were liverpool that the Sun blamed the fans for their own deaths - it's that they wanted to vilify the fans. And likewise, it's not because they were the Sun, and so the boycott would be broadened.

Maybe, but there is a long history of the rest of England vilifying Liverpool, so Liverpool FC fans got a double dose. Liverpool politicians such as Derek Hatton clashed with Margaret Thatcher over everything she did because she was a oval office and Liverpool local council were very left wing, so the press labelled him as a loony leftie and that Liverpool was run by Trots. Add in that Liverpool FC won everything back in the 80s so other teams fans hated them for that the way everyone hates Man U now, and then factor in the Toxteth riots and really the rest of the country was prepared to believe anything about Liverpudlians.
I knew people at Hillsborough and I never bought or read the Sun again.

The NSW environment minister came out and said climate change is influencing bushfire severity and frequency and that action is needed now.

This morning, in response, the daily telegraph published a front page smear of him with some old bullshit about posing with a horse, and a two pager spread attacking him, along with a Ray Hadley opinion piece about him.

If you're not willing to provide up to date medical care on the basis of your religion, you should not be a medical professional. What is this bullshittery? A psychiatrist could not provide adequate medical care, actually exacerbate their patient's mental health issues, and be protected under this law? What is the point of this person having this job? What is this bullshit?

These laws could lead to harm or death by suicide in very real ways. Especially that one about allowing conversion camps to exist. This is bullshit. This is such utter bullshit. Is there a religious passage in a mainstream religion about throwing poo poo at hypocrites? Can we just throw poo poo at Morrison and be protected under this law?

If this bill passes, the amount of health professionals with despicable views that come out of the woodwork will be loving stunning.

But I'm sure if an imam goes on TV and says some poo poo about wives needing to submit to their husbands or whatever they'll get just as much protection as an evangelical Christian.
Also it'll be really cool when saying that only God can alter the climate and not man is enshrined in law.

I listened to that interview on ABC RN. He was trying very very hard not to say "My colleagues are wrong." when being pressured on it. Imagine those being your instructions "You can have YOUR say, but don't suggest anyone else in the party is wrong."

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

I've said this before, but I think that Labor's, (and any left opposition really), best bet to win government is to take a page from the Tony Abbott playbook. Coz whilst he is a homophobic racist misogynist unrepentant fuckshit, he was a great opposition leader.

Be an obstructionist, contrarian, pig headed, arsehole. The message should be "NO! NO! Whatever the government is trying to do, we oppose it, and whatever they are not doing, we want to do. But most importantly THEY are wrong and dumb for doing/not doing whatever they are doing!" No matter what their policy is, oppose it and call them stupid/evil/out of touch for even suggesting it. Eventually this narrative will stick, and people, (who generally aren't satisfied with their government in normal times), will buy it come election time and vote for you.

Because in this cynical day and age, the electorate, (of all political persuasions), think that politicians are lying self-serving weasels, be they right or left. But it is the right that manages to pass the blame for this onto their opposition. (See "greenies are to blame for fires, even though theyu have no power and have effected no actions"), whilst the left seems to be ineffectual and wishy washy at doing the same thing even though they have the stronger evidence for their position.

Yet instead Albo is doing his bullshit appeasement, and drag the party further right thing. Which will get crushed at the polls, and allow Scomo and his fascist fundies close to free unobstructed reign.
