This is him trying to help If we’re honest, most of us would accept that a bad envoy is a little bit like a bad father or a bad husband. Not withstanding all his or her faults, you find that he tends to do more good than harm.

Recoome posted:I heard a rumour that Vic Greens were specifically loving disabled people for ~bike lanes~, could anyone please confirm or deny? A tram stop redevelopment was being expanded to support disabled passengers but the proposed design would have made things more dangerous for cyclists. The council (some of which but not all are Greens) pushed back and asked for a revised design that allowed for disability access while also keeping safety for cyclists. Despite this being a reasonable request and they type of thing councils do all the time some decided to make this into an anti-Greens message.

Anidav posted:Like I dunno how you guys get your local news but here in Queensland, Brisbane is a one paper city. We don't get a choice really. It's basically a closed shop for reporting. So Peter Beattie got into power and noticed how pro LNP the media was and got Fairfax to launch a nice laid back and easy going online paper. In Adelaide we basically just resort to word of mouth and r/reddit.

Works here. Embedded Twitter videos can be dodgy though. What's the context for those quotes? At first I thought it was going to be taking a bunch of his previous criticisms out of context but it seems like he is genuinely saying Labor did a bunch of good poo poo.

All for it if it means we are going to see more cool "ScoMo talks to the camera" videos. What I expect is that we will see the Libs try to run a Shorten bashing campaign while Labor follows the Vic lead in going positive.

I suspect that the rise of social media has taken away a lot of the reasons that pollies used to try and score points in Question Time. When the media had fewer channels getting in a good blow in Question Time was a way of getting your message repeated. Nowadays they can just as easily put up a video or Facebook post and get attention that way.

Anidav posted:Accelerating $10 billion of income tax cuts for up to 12 million Australians is an option being considered by the Morrison government, as it looks to sharpen the Coalition’s pitch to aspirational voters after months of chaos and disunity. Given the election will happen within a few months they don't need to actually deliver a surplus next year, they just have to claim they are going to. AgentF posted:Malcolm is far more effectual post-politics than he ever was as leader of his party and prime minister of this country. We should be glad, if he had talked like this while PM he might still be in the job and have high popularity.

I don't think the Libs will split, self interest ends up overriding everything else and there is little chance they will intentionally put themselves in the wilderness for a couple of elections. At the same time, if things get worse for the government will they really try and drag things out to May? The lack of sitting days before the election is clearly an admission that they have given up and want to reduce the chances of losing votes in parliament, and the more ineffectual they appear the worse they would probably do. At some point you would have some saying it's best to just pull the pin.
