OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Gronk]

So apparently Dutton was on Hadley today saying that Ed Husic and Chris Bowen are jew adversaries because their electorates have a high muslim demographic.

Really trying to drive a wedge.

At least he's more entertaining than old Joe falling over every 5 minutes.

Joe is no good. Countries gone backwards.

*Less backwards than it would have under a(n alleged) criminal...

So have most countries I think

What about Malcolm?

Half of those people aren't even in any Parliament any more.

Yes, Malcolm could be an inclusion.

Maybe the reason half of these people feel safe to speak is that they don't have to answer to bully boy Dutton to keep them in a career.

Huge Kudos to Julian Lesser, who actually resigned his position as Shadow Attorney-General and Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians to take a principled stand (against his leader) on supporting the Voice that the LNP had actually spent the previous 9 years developing and support through Minister Ken Wyatt's work with Indigenous communities.

Good odds for Yes...

Qld is a write off, and usually WA have that redneck thing about them as well. Tasmania might well be the deciding state... and LNP are on the nose there.

The return of the DON.

Has The Rock thrown his hat in the ring yet?

Unsure tbh. Trump had the economy really starting to fire. He just needed another 4 yrs.

Put $100 on it. Good odds like you said.

That was pretty much all pre-Covid right? And after all his aides left one by one there was almost no-one left in his team just before his election?

Forget the money... after such a negative Dutton/Murdoch campaign, I'll be giving out free bjs if Yes happens to get up

 

[T-Boon]

The NO campaign should put up "Peter Fitsimmons wants you to vote YES" signs outside voting sites.

Heres the Sydney details.

I speculate that almost certainly a few people will be overcome with emotion despite the best efforts of organisers and those afflicted may engage with law enforcement.

If it’s going to support the Hamas, then it’s going to stretch the friendship due to their bloody incursion.

I think we are all best to support the end of the Israeli Gaza campaign and also to make the terrorists accountable.

I think this is the United Nations position as well.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Never has and never will.

For the balance, I will try to get the Israeli public event details.

And I watched some international news this week and I saw the Sydney Opera House Palestinian protest featured.

There was no accompanying official Australian condemnation.

An overseas viewer might conclude that is our official western view and find it incongruous with the us support.

Here is the Israeli Embassy link in Australia and at the moment, at the time of posting, it’s not featuring the latest crisis.

Im not sure why, they might be building the story or some staff lost loved ones etc in the hamas incursion.

If Australia is being used by world media to project opposition to Israel, they could publicise their own interests here.

Someone at work said we are looking to help the us.Labour would be split on this issue I think.

Who gives a f**k about who is more entertaining? Dogshit metric.

The protests in Jordan are next level, hundreds of thousands of people, and that’s where the us Secretary of State is.

He wouldn’t feel very comfy.

The Irish pm leading the west to peace.

UN Security Council meeting,talks behind doors begun.

world health organisation speaks to coming apolcalypse in Gaza.

All pretty bad stuff.

It's kinda funny how so many libs gain a conscience once they retire from politics.

For @the phantom menace and “Yes lads,” I nailed a potential “No voter” today.

I said to young bloke;

“ Mate, you gotta vote yes, or I’m telling you, you won’t be able to look at another indigenous mate square in the eye ever again.”

I know that’s a bit tough, but tough times call for tough measures.

He didn’t look happy, but I had to try to make the impact.
