It really shows that the only people who actually want an ALP govt in the press are Jordies, PvO, Laurie Oaks, Ray Martin and Barrie Cassidy.

how can anyone actually follow the election campaign right now?

I sure as gently caress can't, the coverage on TV, radio and papers is all horse race garbage.
I'm interested in politics and how the country is run but the media during the campaign is total poo poo

I really hope I'm wrong about this but right now it feels like all the Liberals have to do to win is just shut up, while Albo calmly and confidently grabs his shotgun, loads both barrels and points it at his feet.

I'm starting to feel like if Labor win this, it won't be because of any campaign they ran, but because of the sheer weight of people on social media ranting about how over the top corrupt the LNP are. If only Labor could channel that a little bit better than promising ICAC by Christmas.

We need some old school black and white scare campaign poo poo.

So if the Australian Democrats are back, where's the ASMR goon who was their sole supporter?

A lot of poo poo happened, but I'll summarize. I've been called a liar and temp banned from at least one subreddit over this, but basically there was an attempt to take over the party by one faction, some money got stolen, the party lost a whole bunch of members, the party fell below the minimum number to keep registration, and apparently Meg Lees ("the gays are taking over the party!") was more important to them than the queer membership, so I ragequit the NSW state executive and handed in my membership.

gently caress them, gently caress LNP, gently caress ALP cowards, Fatty McFuckhead, Pauline Hanson and the dipshits who bleat on social media about how the Greens are going to ruin Australia.

Just lol at the idea of Meg Lee's being anything other than actively detrimental . The GST deal killed the one thing the Aus Dems had going for them. So much for "keep the bastards honest". Good riddance.

Comstar: Apr 20, 2007; Are you happy now?

Good grief. The LNP just told every type 1 diabetic in the country "Vote for us or keep spending 2K a year on electronic monitors". Turns out it's only 155 million. I'm really surprised they are doing it is my point.

Maybe the manufacturer is a LNP donor and they want to launder it back?

Though telling me "Vote for us if you want to continue to live longer" is a compelling one to me personally.

If its the electronic monitors I am thinking of, the manufacturer is Abbott Laboratories (which costs me about $2496.00 per year to use. When I mean the Abbott representative a few years ago she was telling me how they were dealing with Greg Hunt to get them added to the PBS. This was about 4ish years ago?
