It can’t be summer, the sky is not black yet!



My my The ALP has almost lost another 1 percent of the vote. Whatever will our fearless opposition leader do?

Nothing, just loving NOTHING.

Bill Shorten was our last hope and now we are stuck forever in the ETERNAL SUMMER OF LIES AND FLAME.




Also gently caress Covid!

7 News running a puff piece on the Howard Government atm. It has a clip of Scomo on holidays saying "Only a Liberal government could have delivered the 2000 Olympics."

Oh my God has anyone else seen that official Australia Day TV commercial.

It has all these first Australians commenting on how much it hurts but the commercial ends, bringing them all together for a barbecue.

It was apparently made last year but it's on TV right now.

I vaguely remember seeing on the ABC the other day that after 12 months employers now have to offer their casuals a part-time or full-time position if they want it, which seems... good? Unless it just allows employers to drop their casuals and hire new ones at the 11 month mark. But I'm not sure what the incentive for that would be, since giving people guaranteed leave etc is probably balanced out by no longer having to pay them the casual loading, which is why so many casual workers prefer to be casual in the first place.

Yeah and to gently caress this up the libs want to introduce a new job type called Flexi Casual which is basically casual but with sick leave but not annual leave.

I can't find whatever article he's referring to by google, but to be earning several times what a nurse makes that journo have to be on between $200K and $500K. Are Australian journalists generally renowned rich fucks?

News Corp accidentally leaked its own payroll last year and I think it shows that all the Journalists who worked full time for The Australian were on 300k.

I feel like both before and after his prime ministership people have ascribed Turnbull this aura of progressiveness he never actually had, certainly not economically. The man was a banker for gently caress's sake.

Leather Jacket Turnbull is some sort of Rudd era fever dream that lives on because the Abbott years were simply that bad for people.

Q&As only achievement to society is Leather Jacket Turnbull and for that, the show should be cancelled.

This government is loving dumb and the Liberal Party is loving evil.

Does following all the actions and corruption and poo poo opinions and noticing they keep getting away with it break your brain? Absolutely.

Does it drive you up the wall and make you spit venom in all directions? You bet.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

There is a line in the sand that you should be careful not to cross, it's a line that leads to Social Media Insanity where everything is bad and a conspiracy and everyone is an enemy and gently caress you and die you work for the enemy. The fact of the matter is that people will sell out all the time in order to gain more money and more power until they believe the horrible songs sung by the horrible machine. If you are joining this god awful chorus you are either a staffer or a journalist.

Should we hate you for it, sure.

But where there is evidence that the machine you worked for has used you, violated you and tried to cover its tracks you should be spared of political driven hate because it doesn't matter what logo this machine wears on its lapel pin, evil is evil and will always be evil regardless of which side of the political fence it sits. Over the years politics has become more like a football match with both sides weak to the call of the authoritarian strongman. Blind to his misdeeds because the other team is losing.

All I ask of anyone who posts here or talks on Discord or elsewhere is to remember those that commit evil do not have teams and nor do their victims. A victim of any crime caused by persons of power does not need hate for they come from a state of fear. They do not need a team for they have been abandoned by those who should help.

What they absolutely need is understanding from a human perspective, not a political one. And this, in the age of Men's Rights Extremists and Far Right Reactionaries who believe that the women's rights movement was a mistake is especially applicable to rape and sexual assault.

Please maintain a human understanding in the future. Feel free to use this time off as a moment to calm down and re-approach the thread when you are ready.

I do not wish to permanently exclude anyone immediately for this yet because it is so easy to hate the other team as we appear to have been culturally obliged to for many years of political online discussion in this place.

Remember, if it's so easy to hate then as a collective political consciousness, it will become harder to heal.

The problem with Labor is they are too middle of the road so they are losing the progressive voters to the greens. Preferences are still going their way but their primary vote from progressives is shrinking.

If they were losing votes to the greens, the greens primary vote would be higher than 10% by now.

Reminder that QUT is the University that has had the young liberals in power basically indefinitely because they get a gently caress load of funding and can throw rotten milk at or coward punch members of the opposition student parties during student council elections and basically get off scot free.

Also QUT let the libs ban opposing political groups from running stalls during orientation week except for socialist alliance for some reason.
