That's a massive positive though. Look at America after DT - the left f**king up everything that they touch - as usual. Hopefully, America reelects DT in 2024. If not, a right-wing ultra hawk will suffice

BJ was alright too. Unfortunately, the government he leads is conservative in name only - practically, they are deeply socialist. Again, breaking shit as normal practise

I see what you mean. A different opinion is one thing but it rather sounds like someone escaped from somewhere.
Either that or satire lives.

Let's focus on the importants bits. Firstly the different view for starters.

Secondly Albo. ..... Wow.... Does nothing except promise the myth of wage growth, and of course, look at events of 2 years ago. The intention is clear. Let's give Scomo another run through the media and take the focus off my lack of nothing.

Now what would I prefer. A guy who takes on a bunch of extra roles for no extra pay or a guy who does nothing for the same pay. Well it doesn't take too much to figure that out.

The hatred by Trump from those outside the US is driven by the rants and ideologies of the people they follow on social media. They have little to no understanding of what he has or hasn't done apart from what some woke popstar tells them. The left today is an absoloute cesspool and I hope it doesn't destroy Australia the way it has the US in the last few years. In fact I'm not overly worried about the left, it's woke ideologies are already failing. I'm worried that it will do so much damage it will help radicalize a counter movement that is truly more horrifying in it's dictatorship. If anyone ever reads about the fall of the Whermacht Republic in Germany pre Nazi era you will see some similarities.

It will be 3 years in Australia. Then normal service will resume. When Labor here fall they fall hard. They don't have the qualities in their ranks to be effective government. It's clear already. When a sitting Prime Minister needs to spend so much time and energy acting like an opposition leader and focusing on the previous government and Prime Minister then you know you have problems. If you look at the 2 speeches the current and former Prime Ministers made yesterday you can see one is still a leader, has a back bone, and backs his decisions while the other is a spineless school yard name caller. Sadly the latter is now our PM. I expect Labor history to repeat itself at the next election.

This is half an hour well spent. Bringing divisions together.

If you've got anything to say about what I post, please use the quote system so that I can reply - don't become one of the, many, BE posters (some of whom are online cowards) who hide behind their words and lack the ability to debate, discuss and, heaven forbid, disagree. What's the point of being on here otherwise?

So it turns out ScoMo was fairly useless at six jobs, not just the one

He was covering 20 in the early part of the pandemic. Then the premiers took over in which many of them did crazy things.

Yea it's similar to Labour in New Zealand and the UK. I don't support the main opposition party In either of those countries either but like much of the left all across the west today they are ideologically insane and it's really starting to backfire big time. Popular media usually raises up these left wing leaders as being competent and caring like Jacinda Adhern but looking at her approval rating which is now extremely low and the opposition party now leading in the polls it just shows how dressing yourself up in a personal of being nice and caring doesn't mean you should run the country or know how and most people now see that, her harsh mandate stances aswell as economic incompetence have left New Zealand fractured and in despair. The government there is one of the reasons we left. Too wrapped up in the hysteria on trying to fix global issues such as climate change that they completely goosestepped their way into one of the worst cost of living crisis in decades.

Whats worse is that mere months ago Jacinda was saying how people can and should be paying more money for more efficient vehicles to help bring harmful emissions down even setting in a date when new petrol and diesel cars can no longer be brought into the country. Anyone with ANY common sense that we were headed towards economic pain driven by restricting the movement of goods and services throughout the world during the lockdown. How did she not see this when it was so obvious to everyone? Obviously wrapped up in their own world. Funny because while they said it was to save lives the WHO came out not long after this and criticized the constant lock-downs and that destroying the economy was not the asnwer. Did the governments listen? Of course not. Meanwhile it was one rule for them and another for the elite. Australia especially western Australia was a perfect example

As for Labor in Australia, economically they are toothless but I do worry if they concede too much ground to the greens they will destroy the economy. It's a shame because the left used to about the working class and helping secure better conditions for the worker. What do they stand for now? Identity politics?

Beoz

I haven't a clue what they stand for.

I'm quite happy to use my words but it seems that others are just parroting Trump, Daily Mail/Express and so on.
It's a tad quiet down here. Why don't you venture into TIO and have some proper debate?

Amazulu

No thanks, I'll stay in here - but you party on over there if you want

Always happy to debate, discuss and disagree - especially with those who are just parroting Biden, The Guardian/CNN and so on
