The Adelaide fringe is making Adelaide feel really pumped right now and I am not at all looking forward to the Libs winning state government at the end of it. Gonna be the worst hangover ever.

Maybe I live in an echo chamber but I can't see Marshall getting voted for by anyone, ever. He's the political equivalent of a wet blanket.

Rather interesting article from the graun about the SA election from the bottom-level perspective. It seems clear that voters want a change but the options are bloody limited and the candidates confuse the hell out of them.

If we've got any sense we'll keep Labor but my nightmare scenario is Liberals with Xenophon + Bernardi holding balance of power.

Pros: Less pokies

Cons: Everything else

If you are in SA then I can tell you for certain that there is a Greens Candidate in your electorate. As far as I can tell we are running candidates in 47/47 electorates. It was hard work but we got there, and every South Australian who wants to vote Green should be able to no matter where they live.

*googles*

Ah, there they are. Okay, cool.

They have no presence on posters or anything like that in my area, hence my confusion.

A chap I work with - once I finished paying my HECS (don't guillotine me please) - said he kept letting the HECS repayments be taken out of his pay so he got a nice lump sum at tax time. Except you could have more money every week/fortnight/month/whatever if you don't do that :psyduck:

Savings are savings - tax returns are at the whim of the current government and whatever tax increases/tax cuts they wish to introduce.

If I'd still been paying HECS into my tax when they removed the dependent spouse offset I would've straight up lost money.

Why don't the greens welcome progressive policy anymore? Surely they can just nod and agree rather than drag it through some by election mud?

I've got no issue with parties saying "that policy that is currently just a soundbite requires us to look into it before we'll support or block it".

I think it has a lot to do with the Batman by-election though, they don't want to be seen as being in lockstep with Labor in a Labor v Green election.

I'm totally blaming you.

Had a fun game of deciding who to put last, Xenophon's vanity party, Bernardi's vanity party or the Libs.

There was seriously something like 3 progressive parties vs 9 conservatives. I'm counting Labor as progressive since the state Labs seem more progressive than the feds.

I'd prefer a minor gov by the Marshall for a single term, so he can gently caress poo poo up- and piss everyone off, so the ALP can sweep in for another 16 years the term after. If ALP win this time round.... It's gonna be a disaster next election.

Except they'll probably stop renewable development, maybe even cause it to go backwards. First power outage after Labor get back in is blamed on renewables, continuing death is certain

If anybody voted for the Libs since "it's time for a change" you're obviously in a privileged position where you won't be effected by cuts to services, infrastructure and public health. It's time for a change in your breathing capacity by walking into the sea.

Biggest dandrews issue is he is trying to ram through a million things at once. It almost feels like he is resigned to being a one term premier and is just speed running it.

The difference is when you build stuff it takes years and money. When you're running government as a giant money laundering machine you don't need to build poo poo, just remove taxes and protections.

Language evolves over time. Now it means something else.

When people hear something they don't personally like then point and scream "triggered" with a finger pointing like they're the Donald Sutherland screaming at Veronica Cartwright then it's never going to be legitimate.

The only reason it could be considered illegitimate is because dickheads like you decide it isn't.

It's a legitimate word that is used incorrectly sometimes. Guess what, so's the rest of the English loving language.
