Fear = the standard News Corp and Sky News reporting model about anything.

Albo's right btw - any change for the better is ultimately fuelled by hope.
Fear is a tactic used by both sides of politics imo.

I also think its unproven to suggest that change = better.

I'm voting yes because I hope thats the case but I'm not naive enough to assume thats a given. My gut feeling is that the voice will do f**k all which is sad to admit, but ultimately I think thats the likely end outcome.

Change willl probably = status quo.

Sorry I’ve been busy at work for a few days and unable to contribute or be questioned. I have enjoyed loitering here of late and appreciate everyone’s insights and humour.

I did watch Tucker Carlson on his new podcast interviewing Old fox stable mate Bill O Reilly.

Of say the 100% watchable score, I’d rate it 50. Some bizarre pints but O Reilly loses his head and starts to promote himself.

He’s selling personal counselling now. He will return your email for $100 or something. Premium O Reilly package. Picture of his Lizard included I guess.

His horrific abuse of women wasn’t addressed. He loves his trumpy. He says trump will run for President. Hates Soros.

O seems to me to be a truly awful person.

Megyn Kelly, I watch her sometimes, but she rants too much.

I think Piers Morgan is the most sensible of the msm refugees. But his closet is full of skeletons.

Everyone is worried about the end of the civilised world via wokeyism. Cancel culture.

De ja vu when we had fox on for full time background noise. Weather report in Cincinnati. Blast from the past.

I don’t like this on line word change thing or algorithms that screw with expression. I agree with the trumpys on that one.

There’s also Weiner on Bet-David’s channel. A long interview. They set him up.
He had this sex addiction thing. Trumpy called him a pervert.

He was a fair lefty politician with a bit of traction, very sharp, but also a sicko.

Tend to agree with this for the most part, but the main reason I'm voting yes is that regardless of the outcome the voice produces, ATSI peoples will have had a significant say in it.

Only certain sections of the right are concerned about this.

I feel most folks don't see it impacting them at all, and wonder what the f**k merkins are going on about.

Woke has just become a buzzword for shit that some folks don't like.

People tend to ascribe adverse characteristics to stuff to suit their beliefs and points. Hypocrisy on all sides of the fence and of course good intentions.

O’Reilly’s interview, like the classic politician, neither Tucker nor him addressed the allegations, 6 abused women we know about, $43m in settlement payments to keep him out of courts and possibly gaol I guess.

He was the biggest “talent” at Fox for a long time. They paid him out.

Now he’s on the web, a multi millionaire selling discount counselling on the web. There’s no shame with some of these people lol.

Apparently people subscribe to abuse him lol.

He knows everyone, Trump sought advice from him he reckons. In touch.

If Albo wants to leave a legacy, he should pump resources into the union movement, limit the salaries of blue chip ceos and introduce an inheritance tax.

But there will be morris dancing instead to the Internationale.

Its trendy to be red, but don’t anything.

Pretty much what Albo said about hope and voting yes, which was what the poster I was replying to was dismissing.
