Isn't part of the problem that yes for higher quality coal there are still quite a few markets open, but China was basically the dumping ground for our garbage tier stuff?

If there's one thing I know about corporations, they've probably already got their next dumping ground lined up.

No man ever did me so much good, or enemy so much harm, but I repaid him with ENDLESS SHITPOSTING
The world, according to friendly jordies, consists of three types of people:

1- the unwashed, uneducated, grub-like masses who have no idea about friendly jordies and exist mostly as filler
2- the select few who can recognise friendly jordies genius and charm and rectitude (drat near killed em) and thus worship him
3- fools and lesser humans who are aware of friendly jordies but cannot bring themselves to worship him out of jealousy and overwhelming inadequacy. they might act like they're laughing at him but that is just jealousy and fear talking

This message has been written and approved by me, friendly jordies, literally the smartest person alive

22nd March 2019 -

(Betoota Picture: "NSW Voter Forced To Choose Between Unbridled Corruption Or Fairly Blatant Racism")

I know everyone’s response will be, “The Betoota’s a parody site”. Yeah. And how many people do you know who get their news from it? Probably everyone in your circle of friends apart from one weirdo who reads the Shovel. Clearly that’s idiotic, but still, they’re all idiots with a vote. Hundreds of thousands of idiots reading a parody page that has done what exactly?

Regurgitate the exact narrative of the mainstream media. Edgy. A narrative that has been nothing short of a full scale assault on Michael Daley comparable to the intensity and saturation of the US’s MSM assault on Bernie Sanders in order to prop up their corporatist puppet Hilary Clinton. All centred around a gaff he made in September of last year and dropped oh so conveniently in the last week of campaigning. While the Betoota’s media elite mates at the ABC, Fairfax and The Project are probably laughing it up at how clever their headlines are as, “they don’t care whose toes they tread on!”. I’ll tell you who won’t be laughing if the Liberals are re-elected tomorrow

It's a bit longer than that but the gist was 'some people don't realise The Betoota is satire, so they're bad for taking shots at Labor because it might cause Libs to get votes'.

This, there’s a whole demographic (largely 20 something men) who are probably the highest percent of undecided/unaffiliated voters. No political party is connecting with them, yet a YouTube guy who’s got a screw loose is one of the few people to ever make them think about politics. Don’t know if the answer is moderating the crazy, or trying to get less crazy people into the same space, but it’s a whole generation of voters who are entirely up for grabs, pointing out the stupid thing he says once a month is all well and good but the people he’s speaking to could decide the next election, the left has to find a way to engage them.

We've seen where this road leads, where only fringe online figures are even acknowledging rampant inequality and young people being completely shafted, and it doesn't end well.

Problem is it seems like Labor is basically a nonentity for the most part.

"That's why I put up with it."
I'm frequently amazed that, when the supposedly left wing major party of a nation spends all of its election campaigns promising not to fix any problems or institute any left wing policies, it's really the fault of leftists for not engaging crazy idiots who won't listen to them correctly enough, or for complaining when we replace popular candidates and positions for horribly unpopular ones seemingly out of political suicidal tendencies.

Good thing this only happens in *checks notes* "every single english speaking nation I can think of!" We can safely ignore our supposedly left-wing party just basically trying to be LNP2 when LNP voters already have an LNP to vote for.
