Let me be VERY clear for those of you in the back. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in our known history will "collapse the government as we know it," then the government as we know it needs to collapse.
If you had told me 10 years ago that billionaires would be complaining humans drink too much water because AI data centers need it more, I would’ve laughed.
Now it’s real and barely anyone is rioting. Wild
@aaronsmith Genuinely bothers me to high hell that indexation is applied BEFORE the financial year's repayments, both automated via PAYG tax and voluntary repayments. It feels like a scam.
@Dearme2_ Facts. Did almost 18 months of weekly overtime specifically on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Extra 2-5hrs each of those days on top of the already 10hr shift. Negotiated a change in shift so I could play Rugby League again with some mates and suddenly I have a low work ethic.
@AshPolitik Odds on those responsible being operatives from Israel and/or the USA to force a greater sense of urgency to secure oil supplies here in Australia, prompting military action?
There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.
A jewish israeli friend asked me why I stopped doing music to post so much “antisemitic” content.
I asked him why his government killed my family.
He said “bro it’s not all jews”
I said you still haven’t even sympathized with me
Like is it really that hard to grasp reality?
I’m not asking you to carry what I carry
I’m asking you to not deny that it exists
Because for you this is politics
For me this is people I can’t call anymore
Voices I’ll never hear again
Moments that ended without warning
This isn’t something I log off from
This isn’t something I debate for fun
This is something I wake up with
And go to sleep with
Every single day
You don’t have to agree with me
You don’t have to defend me
You don’t have to pick a side
Just acknowledge the pain
Just say something human
Because silence…
in moments like this
doesn’t feel neutral
It feels like distance
Like you’re standing right in front of me
hearing everything
and choosing not to feel it
And that’s what changes everything
Not the argument
Not the disagreement
But the moment you realize
someone can hear your pain clearly…
and still decide it’s not enough to respond
Safe to say we’re not friends anymore
@PollyWi92611992 I say this with conviction. The next Federal Vote. We NEED a hung parliament where One Nation, The Greens and the Libertarians are the majority of seat holders. If the Nationals split from the LNP, vote them in too. Labor and Liberal need a good kick up the arse.
@colonelhogans If given the choice between PH's corruption to favour Reinhardt or the ALP/LNP corruption to favour EU, WEF and Gates, among others... I'd take Pauline. Though neither are any good in my opinion. We're spoilt for bad choices.
Seriously, like they know what they’re doing!
Angus Taylor just said that, “does Australians really think that One Nation can run a 3 trillion dollar economy”.
Angus, does Australia really think the Coalition can? You just delivered the worst result since Federation. 43 seats. Your predecessor lost his own electorate. The party has split twice in nine months.
You’re polling behind One Nation nationally and asking whether THEY can run the economy?
Here’s a better question: who’s been running it for the last 40 years and how’s that going?
Housing unaffordable. Manufacturing gutted. Economic complexity ranking 105th in the world, below Uganda. R&D spending the lowest in the developed world. 30 days of fuel reserves. 30% of exports dependent on one country. Prisons overflowing. Public housing waitlists where people die waiting.
That’s not One Nation’s track record. That’s yours. Yours and Labor’s. Together. Over four decades.
One Nation hasn’t had the chance to run anything because the two-party system has locked them out while delivering exactly the results Australians are furious about.
The arrogance of that question is precisely why One Nation is polling where it is. Australians aren’t turning to Pauline because they think she has all the answers. They’re turning to her because they know YOU don’t.
You want to win those voters back Angus? Don’t mock them for leaving.
Ask yourself why they left.
What’s your thoughts…?
