OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[hindy111]

This is a good article and it sometimes resonates how I feel about where I grew up to where I live now.

"I'm the Prime Minister. I run the country". No you don't, you are employed by the voters and taxpayers. Currently you are "I'm the Prime Minister. I'm ruining the country".

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The Wokes will argue that the woman, Sarah Williams who Albolnese belittled is the bad person and in the wrong.

I’m not woke and I agree with them. She behaved like a f**king child, inviting the PM up on stage so she can publicly humiliate him.

I didn't watch it. What happened?

Says the guy who assaulted his wife.

Yemini isn’t the one trying to keep the woke vote. It’s fair to judge people by their own standards, especially politicians.

Let’s just say she tried to put a parrot on his shoulder

Wait, are you saying that violence against women is a woke cause ?

rubbish, he is the Prime Minister, it is up to him to show a bit of empathy.

If only Peter Dutton was PM. He'd show them how to empathy.

Expecting the government to solve it certainly is.

Empathy will definitely solve the gendered violence crisis

 

[strider]

Lolz.

So you'll concede that your initial response of calling him a liar over the matter was wrong?

Well no .... he was asked to speak - and say what they wanted him to say ..... hence why i think the girl is upset .... him saying he wasnt asked to speak is not true.

Saying he wasnt asked, is him looking out for himself ...... he should have just said the right caring things about the cause and not made it about him. He never needed to say he wasnt asked. But he had to make a point of covering his own arse ..... i think Albo is a bit wrapped up in his own importance.

 

[Gronk]

Expecting the government to solve it certainly is.

Who was expecting the government to solve it though ? The rallies held across the country were really aimed at men, right ? As much as the rallies were a plea for recognition from Albo, there is little legislation can do to stop men being pricks.

‘Enough’: thousands to join protests across Australia opposing violence against women

Organisers of the No More rallies say number of attacks keeps rising amid calls for prime minister Anthony Albanese to declare ‘epidemic’ a national emergency

Albonese is in office and the women are protesting about him and the fact he has done nothing about the issue after being 2 years in power.

Meanwhile in Perth one of Albo's illegal migrants that he was forced to free has beaten a 70+ year old woman up and stolen $200,000 worth of property ON Albo's watch.... What a sad excuse for a Prime Minister..

This goose up there, who we seem to have inherited from f**k knows where.

And btw there's been plenty of chat on radio down here this week where politicians of various persuasions are spruiking their own legislative solutions, even though it is already illegal to murder your partner. I suppose bail laws is one area that could be tightened.

No, he said "to be clear we asked to speak, and were told that wasn't possible", which she confirms was her intent if they didn't agree to her terms. And If you watch the longer version it's pretty clear it's fair to address that subject in the context of what's going on.

Which is quite different from your claim of him saying "we were not asked to speak".

Anyways, I just think it's funny how you got sucked in by the story because you so want to believe it's true. So much for media skepticism hey?

Nah ... he fibbed - when he didnt have to say anything at all about it .... and it was all about looking out for Albo ...... but hey, i guess he is the Prime Minister

 

[Bandwagon]

Nah ... he fibbed -

Yeah, you stick with that mate, even though it's been shown to be incorrect.

 

[hindy111]

What ever happened to him?

What ever happened to him?

Nasty accident with an out of control fairy floss machine I'm led to believe.

As you would know, there’s a whole class of grifters hoping to cash in on any funding response to the ‘national emergency’ the demonstrators demanded of the PM. It’s like the shit fights over whether a thing is named ‘terrorism’ or not. There are always funding implications.
