OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Gronk]

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

As Gary said, she's entitled to change her mind on things, but she has backflipped from being extremely passionate about the lasting impacts of stolen generations et al to, yeah nah not really. All good here.

So it's entirely excusable for a cynic to say, wait, are you doing politics right now ? What happened to your people ?

 

[Gronk]

Conservatives are put in a spin when merkins like Sky News Chris Kenny puts politics aside and apply their long game ideologies to the Voice.



Here's another one. This guy is a bean counter from The Australian. The champion of the anti-lockdown-just-keep-the-economy-churning-even-if-people-are-dying brigade. He's a true Mr Scrooge conservative and only thinks of the economy. Climate change ? Move to a hill etc.

Like Chris Kenny, he's applying conservative economics to the Voice and finds that it sits neatly with YES.

 

[Gronk]

He's still a merkin tho.

Many compared the same sex marriage YES win as a similar triumph. A positive for the community, a major step forward in growing up for the country.

Just because you work for News Limited, Sky News, or the Liberal Party, it doesn't necessarily make you "a conservative". Chris Kenny worked for Downer, Turnbull and Pyne, none of who ever belonged to the conservative side of the Party. He has conservative views on some topics though.

Funnily enough, in the Liberal Party you can have a view that differs from the party position, unlike definitely Labor and I'm pretty sure the Greens. The Teals just follow the money.

I'm interested why the "conversative" Troy Bramston would've ever have worked for the Labor Party as a Ministerial staffer though? Does Troy know he is a conservative?? Can you elaborate with some of your wisdom on that one???

Oh dear, you seem to have missed the distinction between a conservative generally, and the conservative side of the Liberal party.

Funnily enough, in the Liberal Party you can have a view that differs from the party position, unlike definitely Labor and I'm pretty sure the Greens. The Teals just follow the money.

Oh dear, you seem to have not realised that there are also a broad church of opposing views that exist within the Labor Party (often referred to as factions) and also within the Greens. Hard to defend acknowledging this in one side of politics only, while denying it in the other?

Because the conservative side of the Labor Party (aka Labor Right) would appeal to some people with... conservative views on some topics though?

This is nonsense.

There's plenty of dissenting views within the Labor party, the difference is that in the parliamentary wing regardless of your views you toe the line on party position. That's what you sign up for.

The Libs are the same except they limit it to cabinet ( or shadow cabinet as it might be ). Funnily enough, the names you mention ( moderates ) are all no longer part of the parliamentary wing, they're all gone, and the moderates themselves hold little to no sway in the party. For the moment at least the broad church is dead.

Sure, a moderate can still dissent, but how's that working out for their careers at the federal level?

On the flip side Labor have national conference, which at least positions are debated and adopted, or rejected as it might be. Whereas where is policy decided with the Libs, the party room, by factional leaders.
