@7NewsMelbourne A deeply cynical move to appeal to boomer swinging voters while assuming the youth are locked in to ALP regardless of how cruel or incompetent their rule is. The only way these neoliberals will get the message is by people voting against them. They are as bad as the opposition.
@sunshineaus78@PRGuy17 Except that the vast majority of people living in long term poverty/unemployment are there for good reason (disability etc) - this is a cynical attempt to placate boomer swinging voters, not a policy aimed at addressing poverty and unemployment. It’s disgusting.
@nevso@PRGuy17 What do you base that on? Because generally speaking Boomers have many times more wealth than the generations beneath them and they are already paid a higher rate. It’s a cyclical attempt to appeal to swinging voters while assuming younger voters are locked in to ALP regardless.
@PRGuy17 It’s appalling. The rate is already higher for people over 60. I think they are cynical enough to wait until the next election to raise the rate for everyone. This government disgusts me more than the liberals did. They are just as cruel with the addition of hypocrisy as well
@SwannyQLD These milquetoast policies will have negligible effect. 30k public housing is nothing. Yet there are huge resources available for the military and to gift to the rich in the form of tax cuts. ALP wins when it inspires. Right now all their inspiring is disgust and despair.
@MikeCarlton01@BelindaJones68@AlboMP It means becomes Tories, utterly burning their credibility with the left and ceding all power to the media. Next election there will be zero grassroots momentum for Labour, zero enthusiasm, the media against them, they will be voted out having achieved nothing. Great strategy.
@ColouredView You are utterly detached from the material realities people are facing while the ALP waste money on shit like submarines and stadiums. Most people are not. Fewer people are going to be supporting the ALP like a football team. They have cleary shown their priorities.
@punishedmother It happens to men too, you start getting this strange urge to nurture a little version of yourself. Just get a dog and transpose the feelings onto it lmao. Not sure how ethical it is to even have a child when the world is so fucked and most of us are still living like students
@everyday_vet @JeremyPoxon Mate he’s had time to send the military to Ukraine, sign up hundreds of billions to the US military industrial complex, travel around the world, accept stage 3 tax cuts, etc., He is governing as another neoliberal, that wasn’t what he was voted in to do.
@TuckerCarlson Damn dude, heartbreaking when the billionaire neoliberals decide that their fascist hireling is no longer useful to them in maintaining power. Good luck on your journey into the dustbin of history.
@Mitiay3 @jungle_j1m @himejoshistalin Marxism is about liberating the working class regardless of race or sexuality you reactionary cretin. It isn’t a vehicle for your own personal bigotries.
@AJKayWriter@CNN It’s ironic that the argument used against trans women in sport - that they supposedly have an inherently larger and stronger bone structure - was the same argument that was once used against black women in sport by segregationists. Well done you 🙄
@ReportBeijing@BenjaminNorton I meant that their apparent social strategy - using capitalism to build productive forces, maintaining the power of the communist party, and (supposedly) eventually transitioning to socialism - is the same.
