I don't want to WFH, I want everyone else in the office to WFH. Nice expensive office coffee machine with no wait. Empty carpark getting me the close spot in the rain or the shade spot in the sun. Can play my music however loud I please. Nice big monitors to work with, maybe steal another one from a missing co-worker. Bliss. E: My first snipe, Mister Speakah.

My most right-wing opinion (which I will say here but would never express on Twitter) is that Poxon is very clearly willfully unemployed

I'm glad AUWU exist and they were a huge help in navigating the Byzantine welfare system for the record. In an ideal world they'd be paid and would in fact be working for human services.

I think it’s commendable that he’s committed to sharing the experience of the unemployed, and I don’t think it’s useful to engage in the no-true-Scotsman farce of trying to figure out whether or not people are “authentically” unemployed. Whatever that means.

Every supermarket near me has quantity limits on cat food, but it's not a problem in the pet supply stores so I'm not sure if it's a supply chain thing or if there are just loads of cat-owning preppers. What the gently caress is going on with parliament at the moment, holy poo poo. It's never been the pinnacle of reasoned discourse but this 'Mr Speaker that guy is a CCP agent' 'no u' poo poo is causing me physical pain, is this seriously what the agenda got cleared for them to do? Surely there are less loving stupid ways to suggest to voters that Albo is a dirty commie

It's not panic buying... It's literally nothing getting across the Nullarbor after the trainline washout. It'll be a couple of weeks before the shops are properly stocked again.

The floods that took out the rail link between SA and WA may have something to do with it, but more likely thats just an extra reason, the hording is probably the bigger one My Woolies was completely out of- pasta, tissues, potato chips, frozen chips, toilet paper, shredded cheese, garlic bread, and the cheap brand ice cream. And there was a lot more that had a ton of shelf space.

Yeah shelves have definitely been a lot emptier lately with the flooding, but it was noticeably worse today - felt like half the store was empty and they had lots of staff putting out whatever stock they did have. One-two punch of having gently caress all available and having people rush in to scoop up as much of anything that didn't already have quantity limits as possible, or lots of people have developed a sudden passion for frozen green beans and granola

It's only going to get worse as their contempt for voters grows and they realise there are no consequences for anything ever if they just lie hard enough and wait for it to blow over.

I would argue the "albo is a literal Chinese communist!" stuff is just the first salvo in a "throw as much different poo poo against the wall and see what sticks" strategy. As has been said, the election campaign is in its early days, hell a date hasn't even been called. So ScoMo has lotsa time to try different things. Laybah Wayste Reffos Out Union Stooge. Law and Order/Tough on Crime Tough on Foreign Terrorists Labor is the party of the filthy homosexuals and homosexual supporters I'm just a daggy dad, he's one of the "political elites in Canberra" Some culture war stuff, (too late for the Invasion Day stuff, so probably some ANZAC Day wank) . . . and a whole bunch of other more insane stuff they can think of. They'll throw them all out, see which one resonates with the morons that are the Australian voting public, and then double down on it till we are all sick of the cunts as they win with an increased majority.

Every single time one of those noxious ninnies in parliament house stands up and talks about honouring or troops they should be pelted with copies of all the outstanding applications for medical and psycological help from veterans. gently caress thoses clowns. gently caress their incompewrent self serving lying loving clown suits. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-18/blowout-in-veterans-claims-for-help-suicide-royal-commission/100842628 Johnstone, a 43-year-old Wiradjuri man, was handcuffed and shackled when he elbowed a corrective services officer and ran off outside Lismore Base hospital in northern NSW on 15 March 2019. He died from the single bullet wound to his back, despite receiving medical care. The coroner, Teresa O’Sullivan, suspended the inquest after referring a known person to the NSW director of public prosecutions. NSW law prevents publication of submissions made at the inquest about whether to refer the person, and any comment made by the coroner about such a referral. Johnstone had been taken into custody earlier in the day after being denied bail on assault charges. A corrective services officer appeared in court in March on manslaughter charges and was granted bail to reappear in May. ISSUES RAISED Injured in custody, force used, mental health / cognitive impairment.

Not that Labor isn't perfectly capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, but a big problem for the Coalition is that people just aren't listening to them anymore. It's very hard to shift the prevailing mood if your message isn't believed. The rusted on can be relied upon but the loony right are chasing tin foil independents and the progressive elites (the so called Doctors Wives but really just affluent young and wealthy progressive) are courting teal independents. I personally think the PM is terrible at brand development. His track record in advertising is a strong start with lots of flash but a pissweak mid-game usually followed by a dumping once the veneer wears thin. Labor engineered their own defeat last election with a complex platform that shifted message from day to day and was too easy to engineer a scare campaign against. The usual dreck probably won't get LNP far so expect some kind of big circuit breaker to try and wrest the narrative. Last time they went with the "back in black" pitch as an opener but it's not available this time round. He'll probably try something stupid like committing troops to a NATO intervention in Ukraine.
