Di Natale has come out in full throated support of Sally McManus and the rights of workers to pursue industrial action and break unjust laws in doing so.

That would rely on Bishop being dumb enough to take the job. She might be an evil piece of poo poo but she's also cunning as an outhouse rat and I doubt she'd let herself be set up to take the fall like that

This is true, I guess that's why Dutton is an actual potential choice, he's dumb enough to accept it.

Roger your article is just plain wrong. As the owner of 3 investment properties I have seen their values steadily rise and the will continue to do so. The factors to cause a fall, principally rising unemployment, are simply NOT THERE.

You are just unhappy because you have missed out on the greatest boom of the century whilst I an some other astute investors have cleaned up.

I want to frame that comment, it's perfect.

This seems like a really dumb thing to say, as it compels the reader to ask why a minister should be allowed to have an undocumented meeting to discuss government business?

Yeah, I would have thought it would be a legal requirement to keep track of all
meetings conducted as a minister, and if they don't qualify as a meeting conducted in his guise as minister they sure as gently caress don't count for consulting with community groups.

"A senior young Liberal source told BuzzFeed News that Edwin Nelson and his hard right faction are �beyond a joke�.
�They are vitriolic and have gone as far as physically assaulting other Young Liberals. If ordinary YLs were able to vote to expel these bigots, they�d have been expelled years ago.�

I guess nobody is all bad.

I think it's more the infighting that shows he's a weak leader than any particular care about 18c one way or the other. It gives the ALP stuff like this to throw at him

I don't see him ruling it out, I see him saying it's not a priority because he knew he would cave to the feral right at some point

I was visiting some friends in the APS a few weeks back, and they were of the legit opinion that Brandis' downfall isn't necessarily a lack of intelligence but rather a complete and total inability to delegate anything ever due to his belief that no one else could do anything as intelligently as he can.

so phon still has 3/3 while the lnp has 1/3

somehow this does not seem a winning proposition

They don't need to beat PHON, they need to beat the ALP. I'm still extremely dubious that anyone who has stuck with Labor up to this point is going to be swung by tweaking of 18C.

Large populations is stretching it given The Australian has a paid circulation of 3, all of whom are rusted on liberal voters

CFMEU is pretty racist in Brisbane. When the Asian FTAs with China and South Korea went through there were marches onto City Hall for about a week and you would often see dudes dress as samurai holding "HAHA FOOLISH AUSTRALIAN!" signs and other recycled WWII Zap a Jap/Yellow Peril tropes.

Made walking to QUT kind of concerning because you'd have to drift through CFMEU dudes dressed as asian stereotypes with loving dumb signs about how the Asians are coming.

Yeah I'm going to go out on a limb and say the determining factor in racism here is not in fact union membership but rather the fact that they're in Queensland you dumb jock

Why do people hate the Adani mine so much?

It's hosed, it doesn't make economic sense without massive government subsidies (like all fossil fuel), and it has massive environmental implications both on site and for transportation of the product

Pauline Hanson has said we need to vaccinate against Islam. Which I guess means we should teach it in schools or embrace comparative religion subjects or something?

FYI the WA Legislative Assembly is probably the most authentically loving insane of Australia's parliaments. Labor's got twice the Libs' lower house MPs but still probably won't control the assembly because the bush elects half the members. It's for authentically ridiculous WA reasons too. The changing face of mining, Aboriginal disenfranchisement, the state's dumb aristocracy - all capped off with the Greens' genuinely baffling 'bio-regional identity' policy. Love it, all so WA.

What are you even talking about, Perth has like 42 of the 60 odd seats and Labor has a massive majority in the legislative assembly

E: oh, you mean the legislative council. The assembly got fixed a decade ago

PHONs opposition to strikes and their use of them comes from the same place: it's actually effective.

shockingly the proportion of people on low wages who live in a household with someone on a high wage is negligible 🤔

Richard di Natalie's au pair doesn't count because she was under the minimum wage, not on it.
