Note that I have seen the poster of him performing for Mandy Nolan, but I feel like that was more emblematic of him not having a strong political alignment, and more like doing a personal favour for Mandy.
This is right. I didn’t really view Hughesy in a political way until this year. Im not sure he even did (happy to be corrected). If anything my conception of him was that as a comic he had become a parody of himself.
There is a false narrative that the left loved Dave Hughes before he became the LNP's number one supporter. Dave never talked about politics 99% of the time; now that's all he talks about.
Also, it's hilarious that Dave Hughes calls anyone who isn't a conservative as someone who is being paid by Labor, while he simultaneously fundraises on behalf of the LNP. That's the funniest thing he has done in decades
Also, a very common thing people do is reinvent their own past. Hughesy may have voted for labor in the same way many conservatives say they voted for green when Bob brown was leader. Im not saying he didn’t, but I think he just didn’t think about politics much until recently.
this is a factor in the backlash against data centers too. tech leaders aligned themselves with the far right, who in their right mind wants any of these people to run the world? most people want all of these freaks to fail
I don’t understand how anyone could have looked at this for half a second and thought it was remotely feasible
A 500m tall building over 170km is so ridiculous it’s a mystery how anyone ever pitched it
I have to say, VIC State Labor's candidate for Macedon, Annette Death, has one of the more unfortunate surnames. Obviously "Death for Macedon" was never going to work. #auspol#springst.
