This would completely unironically do more to get the working class of this country to vote against the LNP more than anything the Labor party have done since Bob Hawke necked a yard glass of beer

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

Kind of adjacent to the subject.

Does anyone buy ScoMo's "daggy suburban dad" schtick/persona?

Do people believe it? Respond well to it? Actually think that is who he is?

Because, (and I am biased because I hate the oval office), to me it looks like the phoniest cringiest bullshit made up act ever. So, whilst I presume he does it because it tests well, but I honestly wonder if anyone actually believes it.

Coz there is heaps of footage of him awkwardly holding a can of beer, "you know like an everyday guy", and stuff like that for PR opps, but failing and doing it super awkwardly.

Ever since they mentioned the "pub test" ScoMo's been trying to play the role and just sucking at it.

It might work in photos, but in motion you can't help but see his sneering contempt for everything he's saying and everyone he's saying it to.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
Scomo had terminal marketing brain (even though he had been fired from marketing jobs multiple times.) I don't think he's had a genuine emotional response in public apart from the few times he's gotten fed up with reporters and snapped a little..

House next door to mine just sold for 1080000. Biding started at 850000. Last sold in 2006 for 310000. 3 bedrooms, 2 bath and a single car garage in Melbourne. There was only 2 Asian bidders who were half my age, though the one who won I think was doing it for someone else online.

The indicated sale price was 850000 to 900000.

It's loving bananas. House next to me went for sale yesterday. We saw the real estate agent photographers there the other day so we new they were selling. I guessed they'd try and be ambitious and put it up for 850k ( we literally live in a tiny hamlet in the middle of nowhere in central Vic about 1hr
15 from the city). Saw the ad today. 1.25mill. They bought the place 10 years ago for like 350k.

Madness.

I had to smudge out the numbers to work out how big it was because of all the zeros. What the hell.

Also what young white male looks at Scomo as a role model, unless they've been brainwashed by Hillsong. At least Howard genuinely seemed interested in sport. What is Morrison even into?

According to a deep dive of various hosed up articles on him, Reading and Kayaking. That's it. He met his wife in Church when he was 12. He's literally a no personality smoothed off cultist. People like Scumo aren't meant to lead, they're meant to funnel money to a personality cult using the Church for their own greedy purposes.

Scomo's daggy dad thing is literally exactly what Mike Baird did when he was NSW premier. Baird ended up with young fans because of it until he alienated them all with the lockout laws.

So Interest Rates WILL raise next year- the US inflation means they are already, so THE MARKET has already decided it's happening. If we do 1% a year...maybe we'll see the housing prices implode around 2023? Bank Bailouts '24 or '25.

I read Annika Smethurst’s “The Accidental Prime Minister” which I think is one of the first bio’s on the guy.

He’s the son of a copper who grew up in the Eastern Suburbs and was a tee-totalling rugby union guy that was into performing arts and the church.

The Sharkies/Cronulla/Have a beer everyman that we see is completely manufactured. Well, not manufactured by someone else, but let’s call it an assumed identity. A lot of the book - and other articles I’ve read - talk about how hard it is to find evidence of what he actually stands for. With other PMs and PM hopefuls you can point to speeches, past history, activism etc. Not Scotty.
