Actually upon reflection I suppose it’s not surprising that a country without the courage to become a republic or give its own First Nations people a voice and say in their own future doesn’t have the courage to stand up to another country that’s just been taken over by a fascist. - ThreadSky

It’s astounding if you think about it too hard that we managed to give people marriage equality, given how utterly selfish and cruel most of us seem to be…and I know that’s not you guys on here but Australia as a whole, that’s a different story.

And maybe a bit of Morrison setting himself up a nice earner while throwing Albo a hospital pass https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/questions-raised-after-scott-morrisons-new-defence-job-revealed/news-story/683c89771b8b3d77ad7a380789468797?amp

Albanese happily approved AUKUS

Like mandatory sentencing for hate speech yesterday, his small target strategy means he embraces and runs with whatever wedging crap LNP serve up. Understandable that hostile MSM makes it very difficult but FFS

Problem with this wedged rubbish is that the MSM still lies. He’s never a small target. And he loses voters, like me!

Hard agree! Juice media nail it with the choice being between shit and shit light. I was hoping for a hung parliament last time and hopefully we will get it this time

It’s all we’ve got left. Right at the moment it’s effectively the duopoly vs the Australian people (unless you’re a bigot, sadist, climate vandal, Zionist or all 4)

💯this. Rusteds like to blame Scummo, but Albo and Marles gave it the nod before they got elected.
It's one of the reasons I'm no longer rusted.

So random bloke takes a cheap shot- Rusteds! Block or engage? From quick profile scan he appears legit, despite showing an inclination to hasty/smug character assessment. Also conscious that the RWNJs love the woke squabbling amongst themselves, splitting hairs about relative ideological purity. 1/

So recall Morrison's stage 3 tax cuts; an outrageous funnelling of $ to the wealthy. Morrison knows with partisan media backing him (including knobbled ABC) it would contribute to sucking the oxygen from media reporting if Albo knocked it back, but put off Labor voters if he committed to it.

frisbren.bsky.social•15 days ago

Albo enthusiastically and unwaveringly backed the tax cuts. The repeated attempts by media to gotcha him and accuse him of planning a backflip didn't have the momentum of a rejection, and it was one of many areas where Albo's small target strategy helped Labor win the election.

It's a Thucydides Trap and we're on the wrong side when our biggest f'n trading partner is China. Australia has shallow reefs that's why the Collins class worked so well. Though subs are only good as a back up if your country gets nuked. So it's all pointless.
