Tell me, if Chinas economy tumbled or the next recession hit next year, how would Australia fare?

I don't think we're all in on China so much that we'd be hosed. There'd be a lot less money coming in though, just in time for an incoming Labor government to cop the blame.

why the gently caress do greens voters want Julie Bishop as leader???? I mean I know why but jfc she's terrifyingly competent and would be just as awful as margaret thatcher was, only even more effective at killing poors.

Maybe it's partially wanting to see more women in power, maybe they're smart enough to know the Libs will never have a female leader so they just want to gently caress with them

Nice try but police are dickheads in every state. :mrapig:

When contacted about Lyla’s situation, women’s groups said her story was upsetting, but “frighteningly common” in a state that has no specialist police or trained officers to handle sexual violence complaints, and where “mistaken belief” in sexual consent is still a legal defence. They say the problems are systemic and have renewed calls for urgent and significant reform.

Did anybody watch the Weekly last night?

Kitty Flanagan sent up noted alt-right grifter Jordan Peterson's book 12 Rules for Life (she didn't mention that he's nazi-adjacent) and called her send up version 488 Rules for Life. Interesting choice of numbers, there.

If Sky had tweeted out a clip of "Neo-Nazi fuckhead tries to explain position to Giles, gets DESTROYED" it'd be a different story.

Instead he's described as an "activist" which is blatant fash washing

The media already refuses to give platforms to leftists and actively undermines them environmentalists and racial equality advocates at every turn, it's not like there's any existing fairness to balance out giving voices to literal Nazis.

They can't even label people as former Liberal MPs or staffers. They only refer to them via the current made up "public interest" group name that's usually meaningless

Image macros aren't going to help when my Aunty in Queensland is sharing macros along the lines of:

*pictures of white farmers looking at drought blasted land (that they purchased and chose to work on)*

So it was rightly pointed out this morning that Barnaby Joyce is still under investigation for sexual harrassment. Has there been any news on that, and do the Libs think that putting him on the backbench (while still getting a fabulous wage and being able to rort allowances like he has previously) is enough? Because it's not?

At a guess, Bendigo would count more as country Victoria than a suburb of Melbourne, so they're carrying on the lie that African gangs are terrorising Melbourne for people who would have little to no reason to not believe it.

Leftists should simply play Christopher Pyne saying "Scared? No, why would I be?" on repeat on billboards around Australia.
