I’m sorry, but the playlist articles is the click bait I engage in most! I’d say it has a lot to do with Obama, like he still makes playlists that get some notoriety. Difference was Obama had cool bands play his campaign tour willingly. Not your old presidents who probably listen to yacht rock or Trump who playing Born in the USA with Springsteen then threatening to push charges for improper use. It doesn’t work with Scotty because his relatability is your typical Triple M/WSFM programming, with Midnight Oil as his left field. Even his classical playlist doesn’t really do much with variations. I guess this never meant to be public. Make me think Albo should get back into DJing for his campaign trail instead of showing face every record store day.

Animal Friend posted:633 in NSW. loving hell you guys. Hey but look at the upside, 70% is transmitted at home, no need to keep track of exposure sites. Never mind 500 *potentially infectious* people under investigation! Honestly, I haven't moved from the house apart from exercise (keeping to quieter areas where possible since everyone is now outside) and the weekly Coles run. I'm at a complete loss.

aejix posted:Nah mate you're way off base, I'm sure albo, the bag of pantry-moth infested flour with all the charisma of a half eaten urinal cake will lead fed Labor to glorious victory. I'm possibly that one guy, it's Chris Minns. Labor they got away with changing their leadership without anyone even batting an eyelid or noticing, I think avoiding an imagine of being poo poo stirrers like LNP in WA and Vic is a good thing. From where I'm sitting, in Labor heartland of Sydney's South West - I think they're doing well speaking with community groups and mayors where LNP has been mostly absent in discussion, reportedly not answering calls. I honestly think all Labor would need to do is outline that LNP are a State Government and they have a responsibility of servicing the whole state and not just the City of Sydney and that alone would gain supporters with wider areas. But, how do you shift votes from rusted on areas like Sutherland Shire, Eastern and Northern suburbs? They're probably grateful SSW is locked down. Even if I argued by throwing out a random point like... LNP have screwed classroom allocation in developing areas out West, would any of those areas even care? They're taken care of well enough and don't have a reason to shift their vote. woofbro fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Sep 7, 2021 |

StrangeThing posted:I'll repeat: the BLM march was also in breach of orders, but public transport wasn't shut down for that, nor should it have been. Key difference is non-violent protest and compliance of mask mandate. I agree that access to the city should not be altered and police presence for non-violent protest is problematic. But these guys won’t be reasoned with and have demonstrated violent behaviour yesterday smashing windows and attacking Union. They’re not construction workers completing a standard protest about work conditions, it’s being mutated to an anti-vax protest by far right figureheads.

Centusin posted:Scomo's daggy dad thing is literally exactly what Mike Baird did when he was NSW premier. Baird ended up with young fans because of it until he alienated them all with the lockout laws. Oh yeah for sure, Mike Baird tried to target millennials by live tweeting Bachelor with his daughters. Even Abbott tried to tick the box with the daughters angle - however I always thought it was more creepy in a father holding onto their virginity sorta sense. Scott is totally just going for the Kmart hacks audience of Karens with religious prejudices, he does something DIY like cooking or building and people go ape poo poo over it. Check any of his posts on Facebook, he’s like some sort of cult of personality - everyone loves him. Being the family man PM is popular with a specific audience voters.

Yeah, this image is pulled from a Guardian article from 2019, some stooge posted it to Twitter but then stated that currently there is no preference deal but eh it's only a matter of time til they cut one up. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/apr/25/liberal-party-strikes-deal-to-exchange-election-preferences-with-clive-palmer My favourite pull from UAP is Craig Kelly stating he is in favour of ICAC when his voting history is in strong opposition of ICAC. These guys will do anything to get reelected. Liberals have grabbed Melanie Gibbons former State MP for Holsworthy to run for Hughes, I reckon she'll have it easily. Politically, I think she only votes on the party lines, but hey what's new? Craig Kelly will be some dunce who runs every few years, maybe he'll do a Latham and somehow get in on state politics on a One Nation or UAP backing, with the benefit of a broader online following than Hughes votes alone. woofbro fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Nov 23, 2021 |

Cartoon posted:As to LGA elections. Always check the online declarations. There is often comedy gold. Most of our local independant councillors are members of the National Party and have their campaigns funded. The Mayor (A National who is also a gaping anus ~not in this case a synonym~) has decried the Greens candidate as 'politicising what has always been an apolitical local council'. Our ticket has a Group A and B who upon researching turn out to both be far right happy clappers hoping to get votes because voting for them is the least effort (everyone else is ungrouped). So, yes, do your research. How do you access these? ATM I'm basing my vote on the phrasing of independents with "under a Liberal majority" and "under a Labor majority" and the positives and negatives on each statement.

BrigadierSensible posted:But it also got people talking about how it was a stupid idea. How Gladys herself had to shut it down. About how out of touch ScoMo was, and didn't even know what his own party members were doing etc. And therefore could theoretically have cost them votes. So there is an argument to be made that it backfired. I think you’ve given the general public too much credit here.

Because he named his party the same as the party that old dead white man ran under. I think it was placed in the too hard category for legislation, but hey would love to hear otherwise. Let me know how you go, to say Menzies was a member of the “United Australia Party” is accurate in the sense that he was, it just happens to not be the exact same UAP Clive runs. Bloke has more money than sense and can pay off any fine.

I think feasibly we could have gradually pulled away measures after reintroducing non-vaccinated into the community, got our booster and child vaccination figured out before dropping masks in some settings and increasing numbers of patrons in settings. Based on who I’ve talked to New Years celebrations were too much to handle and a lot of people are coming out positive from that. It’s disheartening hearing Dom say no matter what we did it wouldn’t have meant a difference then I go online and there’s plenty of articles arguing that long Covid could cause heart related illness and death at 50 and our system is completely overrun - when we’ve had 2 years to prioritise this and nothing has been done it’s left a real sour taste.

Women should be treated better and LNP do nothing for DV, did not meet with March4Justice, ongoing discussion of Brittany Higgins and parliaments treatment of woman. - Here is Grace Tame with Albo looking happy - Journalists whining about it, The Australian ran an opinion piece suggesting she not go at all. - Dylan Alcott getting Australian of the Year stating more needs to be done for the NDIS. Mild discussion of the award being lip service to pretend progress is being made when it is not. - An unsuccessful attempt by Sky to shift blame to Albo for passing up a handshake from Morrison, with Albo explaining he didn’t shake anyone’s hand because it is against health protocol. - It’ll end next week when Mad as Hell do a skit about it woofbro fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Jan 27, 2022 |

But yeah I worry that people see a very small minority and think this is a majority. I saw a tonne of hate speech online towards Invasion Day protests that reeked of jealousy - people actually show up to Invasion Day protests because it is clearly a more popular cause than ~*~freedom~*~. I don’t really understand the 51st State mentality Qanon has pilled these people into thinking and good luck to anyone thinking a vote for UAP will lead to change corresponding to their beliefs.

BrigadierSensible posted:Now we know that ScoMo barracks for the Sharks. (Albo is an Essendon fan.) To answer the question quick - Abbott was a cycling nutter, except he wouldn’t have roads divided to make cycling lanes. I know he also played some rugby but god knows what team he goes for… safe bets are Union fan or Manly. Now the lengthy aside… Morrison backing Sharks is all a PR stunt. Get to the footy with a Great Northern in hand. He’s not from the Shire, there’s no reason he’d be backing them beforehand. I also found this story last year, it’s all speculation but Scotty from Eastern Suburbs would totally be a Union fan. https://www.hellosport.com.au/2021/09/10/is-scott-morrison-a-turncoat-an-investigation-into-the-pms-footy-teams/ Albo is very much a South Sydney Rabbitohs supporter, maybe Essendon is who he follows in AFL?
