Is the prevalence of the phrase "Judeo-Christian values" because it's frowned upon to hate on the Jews?

Clearly it's okay to paper over the history of anti-Semitism, and well, anti-Catholic (or anything not CoE) that prevailed in this country.

It's because the American right uses it. That's literally it.

What, you mean against self interest and what their corporate overlords tell them to do?

Imagine if the politicians actually voted for what the majority of voters wanted, we'd have same sex marriage at least a decade ago. And no GST.

Ah, but you're forgetting about the tyranny of the majority. Why if politicians ruled as the majority of Australians wanted them to rule you'd see vulnerable minorities in camps being tortured to the cheers of the everyman! We need an elitist regime to be our betters.

What type of false claims? Is this the Jackie Lambie style false claims, or do you think that the legislation might be used to silence detractors?

I mean your post is an extremely hot take here but you might want to contextualise your comment with what actually just happened with a person speaking out about Centrelink. I'm guessing you took a glance at that and were like "lol bitch had it coming"

I read it as a question, not a hot take? :shrug:

What does happen currently if someone criticises defence using false claims? Do they just ignore it?

As a realtalk question, is there any hope of having Shorten moved on?
Like if Turnbull gets knifed (I can't seriously believe that's an if not a when, goddamn it Tony) and Dutton comes on the scene and the Leader Preferred still doesn't get above 50 does Labour start looking at potential replacements?

Pretty sure Rudd changed it so Labor leaders can't be changed until the conference after losing election.

From what I've seen absolutely no one gives a poo poo about the CFA stuff other than people who wouldn't have voted Labor in the first place.

The Libs throwing a tantrum over it has actually been a massive benefit apparently. A bunch of career CFA guys in integrated stations switched over to MFB saving the CFA a bunch of cash, and possibly allowing for a far easier switch over to integrating the SES and CFA together as one volunteer emergency service.

I can't remember where I heard it, but apparently West Virginia has like way more nurses employed now than coal mining did at its height. The idea that it's economic pain being directed in the wrong direction is complete poo poo. There's going to be far more economic problems for West Virginia from Trump loving healthcare than would ever be solved through resuming coal mining at its peak levels. It's just white nostalgia.

'It's disheartening that the media paid more attention to Pauline Hanson, a person who's not even a candidate in the election, than serious parties'
'Yeah, but have you thought about what your party could do to capture the media's attention?'

Why don't you just gently caress up your campaign more and say stupid as gently caress poo poo? We'd cover you more!
