OT: Current Affairs and Politics

Probably easiest to listen to him and form your own opinion.

My view - he's a bit of dick, but a long way removed from what Sandilands does. Howard Stern is a better comparison.

Definitely not Sandilands. Last I read he proposed on his show that he get a girl on who would bend over and a man would slip his dick in. She would then need to work out if he was her boyfriend or her Dad.

[Meanwhile the guy from MMM gets cancelled bc he said lightweight comedy stuff about the Matildas and Endometriosis.]

Sorry mate but I don't rate any of them as being capable of making me more informed on any matter under the sun. I get my information from multiple varied sources and am quite capable of making an informed decision without having to listen to every self appointed influencer pushing their particular agendas. You can listen to every man and his dog before deciding on an issue but next minute another opinion surfaces. Trust your own instincts.

Personally , I don’t listen to Rogan to get more informed. I like MMA so there’s that but also sometimes he has such batshit crazy guests it is pure entertainment especially when I’m driving long distances for work. Sometimes he has ecologists or hunters on and they are super interesting. Some of his comedian mates are funny. Some aren’t. But I get that lots of people do take what he say as as gospel. And I’ll be honest, sometimes his views on certain things align with mine. Same as when I listen to more left leaning podcasts. What I totally don’t get is when people say any person is a tool and then in the next breath say but they don’t listen to him. Like that ABC merkins a few months ago. That’s dumb.

Dutton leaks are out and apparently he will:

a) repeal the low income tax cuts when they are elected, and
b) offer a chop in fuel excise of 25 cents at the bowser as a cost of living measure, but for only 12 months.

It will be interesting how the punters accept this, how his fans sell it etc.

I saw last night that Dutton was being critical of Labor delivering two surpluses and on Tuesday, deficits for the next decade. I hope that someone has the balls to his out bs as when Albo got the keys, their forecasts where deficits until 2061.

Dutton's LNP troops are leaking like sieves... and (like Angus Taylor) already lining up to position themselves for leadership tilts when Dutton loses the election.

It's laugahble anyone would consider voting to put that set of feuding clowns in power.

I have enjoyed watching some of Rogans interviews. Some things I agree with and some I don't but plenty are just general chit chat and he does a decent job at that.
Jordan Pedersen on the other hand I can't stand.

This bloke is a non-hysterical economist

But he was the economic advisor to a Labor Prime Minister

I don't think any real or imagined infighting is the issue - more that they are still the same people driving the ship as were there under ScoMo. If you want to go back to that sort of government then just vote these guys back in

Well to be honest if anyone but Dutton was going up against Albo in this upcoming election they would easily win.

Fraud clown is how we currently vote if you look at the last elected PMs over the past 20 years..

Yeah there’s something about him that’s very unlikeable

Plenty of people will vote against Albo rather than for Dutton. Will be interesting.

No he has an impressive salad. Rogan is balder than BA though

What you need to do here is show that he is partisan with respect to his economic assessment. Cos he's not.

What he said the other day was that there will be 2 interest rate cuts towards MYEFO 25/26. That's pretty damn good for Dutton when he wins.

That would be the same for either side whomever wins.
