It reads like a crazy person manifesto, this line in particular stood out to me because it's in completely the wrong tense and possessive to the rest of the paragraph (or it's the wrong message, Danby attacked Kroger, why are you advertising that?):

"Danby attack ads appeared on Kroger, linking him to the Green Party"

Plus he put both MSM families offside via his callouts of The Leader and The Age, which bodes well for his future media support.

I also love how he tries to spin his "high profile" by incorporating his low primary vote and manages to contextualise them negatively as "bitter enders" which implies a blind devotion to a failing idol.

edit: yeah I read it wrong, he's boasting about how he launched a campaign linking the liberal guy to the greens.

The voting system worked pretty well I think.

Is that the national % of the vote against the national proportional representation? It's an unfair calculation.

I keep editing this post cos I'm having trouble right now exactly articulating how I dislike it, but we've already come to terms with Seats of disproportional populations rather than raw percentages as the method of forming government.

open24hours posted:

Weren't same sort of people were bending over backwards to explain why Charlie Hebdo was actually racist at the time? I don't remember it getting a lot of support from the crowd Leak is mocking in his second cartoon.

I agree. He's raised it as his defence as though his critics have no critical thought of their own and merely throw their weight behind the trend of the day. He's got a point but there is a hell of a lot of supplementary context alongside CH/#JeSuisCharlie, and even if he is correct there that doesn't make him right.

I thought their argument was all aboriginals are deadbeat parents, but I guess that's only an inferred meaning until 18C can be repealed.

edit: hrm, now I'm stuck. Should I refer to dog whistling as implied or inferred? It's obviously implied, but officially would have be inferred.

This, but I know a dude who works in that specific industry who has had an instance where they've had to salt the earth and pull the plug.

I don't expect anything more than cursory reporting on the gently caress up and privacy advocate concerns. The people broadcasting the messages are reliant on any combination of clicks and advertisers, which is reliant on marketing, which is reliant on statistics to build accurate market segment profiles of who you are, what you're worth and how we can get your loving money/attention.
