liberals moving onto a carbon tax scare campaign really feels like they're just desperately throwing whatever poo poo they can think of because nothing's sticking

The great Albo is unbeatable. Albo the Magnificent. A labor hero that many australians are already writing songs about.

You lot must be talking about Bill Shorten. Saw some new party called TNL (The New Liberals) in my electorate. I liked some of the stuff on the policy sheet (Net zero emissions by 2030, bring refugee's to Australia) but I couldn't help but get the feeling they were economic conservatives. They were spruiking something called Modern Monetary Theory which I'm having some issues understanding.

Tried running under The new Liberals banner, AEC said no because apparently the Liberal Party can only use the word Liberal. Registered under TNL instead but also splintered again and formed another group called The Local Party which also spun off and split into another group called LFC aka Liberals For Climate.

MMT is not really either, its policy recommendations are very distinct from the dominant (well, until the pandemic?) neo-classical recommendations of balanced budgets at all costs, austerity to deal with recessions, etc. - they favour deficit spending, a jobs guarantee, full employment & recognise the real limit on spending is productive capacity, not some arbitrary debt measure, but they're also counter-intuitively in favour of things like lower taxes. the descriptive parts of it are pretty good and decent for reframing economic policy in terms away from balanced budget household metaphor nonsense, but the policy recommendations are a weird mix of things & if you want to just build on the good parts of it you end up with fairly standard social democracy stuff. MMT policies would be an improvement over the status quo but they're not some ideal to aim for, advocates often see it as this One Weird Trick to let you do economic policy that's better than the terrible western consensus but totally ignore the power relations part of politics that keeps those ideologies dominant. TNL are not conservatives but they're yet another left-of-centre minor party that doesn't provide any meaningful reason to vote for them over the Greens https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/coalition-holds-ground-in-queensland-amid-coal-fight-poll-shows-20220426-p5ag2g some amazing spin from the AFR - "The Coalition’s belief it will hold all or most of its seats in Queensland has been buttressed by the latest poll which shows it is the best-performing state for the Morrison government at this stage." when the poll shows an 8% swing to Labor in Queensland lih fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Apr 26, 2022 |

lih posted:https://www.theaustralian.com.au/the-oz The truth is wage growth has been lower than Julia Fox's jeans for close to a decade because bosses don't want to pay workers more. The reality is they also don't have to because Australia's industrial relations system has been effectively eroding the power of workers to push for more money for close to 40 years.

Mysticblade posted:You lot must be talking about Bill Shorten. As I understand it MMT is basically throwing away the idea of treating the governments budget like a household budget, and thinking of things more in productive potential. We think of things in terms of supply/demand, where supply is often treated as a static amount, with less demand leading to lower prices and higher demand higher prices. Imagine a factory running at 50% capacity because that's what they think is the optimum amount of production balancing revenue against unsold product. If demand is permanently increased, that factory could now run at 75% capacity with the supply/demand balance staying the same, and thus not causing inflation. As long as there's unused or underutilized production ability, the government can keep injecting money, raising living standards and stimulating the economy without worrying about debt. Obviously there is still a limit to how much money can be created as there are limits to productivity and how quickly things can ramp up, and if the government spends too much too quickly, or in the wrong areas, that could prompt rapid inflation so it's not a magic bullet to fund anything they want, but it does take away the "BUT HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR X?!?!" argument. Taxation still exists, but rather than that collected money being used by the government to pay for things it is destroyed, lowering the amount of money in circulation as an anti-inflationary measure. At least that's how I understand it, but most of it came from listening to Luke McGregor explain it on a podcast a couple of years ago so I'm certainly no expert.

Just got all my mail voting stuff today. Went to the Greens' website to see their how to vote stuff and couldn't find it. Found all the Victorian candidates no worries, but couldn't see their how to vote stuff. I'm having a hard time deciding where to put the LNP last or Pauline Hanson last and figure I'll use the Greenss site rather than flipping a coin.

I think I know what order my preferences are going to be in 1. Greens 2. Australian Progressives 3. Animal Justice 4. ALP And then I loving raffle them off from there with the UAP being at the bottom. I'm unfortunately in an electorate that has only ever voted LNP outside of one time for the ALP although the Greens did give the LNP a scare in the state election. poo poo loving sucks though, the LNP is the least awful of the right wing parties which is some depressing stuff.

I always try to get my voting out of the way as soon as I can to stop myself turning full wonk over it and deciding that, no, I really should vote under the line for every candidate again.
