OT: Current Affairs and Politics

Yes campaign must be run by the LNP. Seems they are using the same sly tactics again with signage matching the AEC.

Im sure in the interests of being fair and impartial on this forum, we will need to accuse the Yes campaign of being dirty rotten cheats.

Divided his fans... Fans are idiots if him having a choice upsets them...

No one cares what Jeff Robson wannabe thinks

 

[Gary Gutful]

Rob Jeffson is voting no.

 

[Suitman]

If people are influenced by the colour of campaign placards, well maybe they shouldn't be voting.

And for those people standing outside polling booths, don't bother giving me a piece of paper.
I've had 6 months to consider my decision. Your piece of paper isn't going to change that just two minutes before I am going to vote, so just f**k off.

 

[T-Boon]

Haha. That is clever. That is a tick in favor of my vote. Another trick they could pull is to pretend that Peter Fitzsimmons is a no vote campaigner. Even get him saying he is. I am most likely voting whichever way is the most anti Fitzimmons and his type.

 

[Suitman]

You are more than welcome to vote whichever way you like, but that is one of the more boneheaded reasons I've ever seen.
It is no wonder that this referendum is going down the tube with attitudes like that.

Agree entirely with this. People who leave it to the last minute are idiots. Sadly though, there are lots of idiots and these people are essential in what gets decided. They call them swing voters.

It would be great if everyone did their research beforehand but many don’t and hence why the sort of shit f**kery from the Labor ends up being part of the process.

Agree with @strider. Libs were arse cained for the same thing.

Playing the man?

She played herself. No commentary in that clip. Just her own words.

Haven't heard the ad, but there's probably some likelihood of that, sadly, if this simple and sensible process ends in a No.

Well someone put the clip together..

Don't get me wrong all politicians are lying SOBs. Can not trust any of them..

Look. You can do 'gotchas' on most people. Its not a crime to change your mind.

The issue with Jacinta is that she went from one extreme to the other in short period of time. Is @Avenger her advisor?

 

[the phantom menace]

He's a good man, Julian.

Liberal MP Julian Leeser says no campaign’s American-style politics are ‘damaging’ Australia

Prominent Coalition yes supporter accuses no campaigners of a ‘total absence of empathy for our Indigenous brothers and sisters’

That's because she is a politician.. Can't be trusted

 

[Twizzle]

I can't help but wonder if it is her opinion that's changed, or if she is being told what her opinion should be
