@AmeliaBee7 I don’t think the bulk of those One Nation voters support your life style choices Dawn. Try taking your partner and holding her hand at a One Nation conference when meeting your fellow supporters.
@MalcolmNance@SupportPauline Malcom that account either belongs to or supports Australia’s minor party leader Pauline Hanson. Found guilty of racism and racial discrimination in federal court under civil law. Air plane gifts form billionaires, Mar a lago guest, far right. Worthy of more of your attention.
@gtconway3d@PhillipsPOBrien Poor bloke will probably at minimum lose his detail for reacting as one would react to such things before his game face came back online.
@DHughesy Dave….Dunning Kruger effect…. Hughes.
You’re out of your depth on so many levels Dave, like comparing a professional stand up comedian to an auntie reading her Christmas cracker jokes.
Dave, you've responded to a detailed fact check by introducing an entirely different argument.
Whether government should be smaller is an interesting discussion. It just isn't the discussion we were having.
We were discussing whether your description of Australia's economic history in a 90 second clip was accurate.
It wasn't.
What I think is extraordinary isn't that you got things wrong. Everyone does. It's that you've conceded precisely nothing.
Not one factual error. Not one correction. Not one "Fair enough, I got that wrong".
You have a remarkable ability to turn economic fiction into confident public performance. The problem isn't just the mistake. It's that once the performance is over, the fiction is simply left behind for your audience to keep repeating.
You haven't acknowledged that you confused government debt with the Future Fund. Your reply now explains how the Future Fund grew from around $60 billion to $255 billion which is a baffling addition, given you previously spoke about it as though it had ceased to exist.
You haven't acknowledged that you claimed the GFC stimulus was funded by the Future Fund. Or that your broader account of Australia's response to the GFC was wildly misleading.
Instead, you've simply changed the subject, which is a perfectly respectable debating tactic, provided nobody remembers what the original discussion was about.
When the errors are painstakingly explained, you don't correct the record. You simply move on, leaving the misinformation behind for your audience to repeat as though it were true.
I’m reminded of a line from Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses - Explaining this to you has become rather like trying to explain Norway to a dog.
speaking as one myself, is there anything worse than a mediocre fiftysomething white guy whining and playing victim after enjoying half a century of near-total privilege, as he searches for a new gig in a world indifferent to his bullshit?
@RpsAgainstTrump Um… well they definitely aren’t here. I don’t think most Aussies knew or cared about either Red or Blue there before this fucktard and his weak enablers. (including their house and senate)
No. It’s because he’s a criminal and if you really want to support her you would be urging her to not meet with criminals who are also despicable racists!
95% of the world's most highly respected climate scientists have spent decades researching the causes of climate change, and determined it is caused by human activities. Pauline Hanson, an uneducated individual who never finished high school, claims they are all lying. Who should we believe?
