Bipartisan used to mean co-operation; it now means self serving collusion

Hoping we get a hung parliament with independent (teal/climate 2000 types) balance of power; esp with duopoly conspiring on election/donation funding to lock them out from 2026. Looking more likely this time around, but slight dread the growing dark forces will nudge Dutton over the line

So with Defence furphies one of the biggest misinformation hammers at the disposal of Oz media Albo again plays it safe and professes to fully embrace AUKUS. It is a choice between all in or all out as a strategy, whether or not you agree with the strategy (I don't). First/last ever rant here over

Thankfully (sort of) with cost of living/inequality crisis hitting home Albo and co were able to sniff the breeze and scrap a tax policy they knew was a shocker, without losing too much skin.

Had he at all wavered or lost solidarity across Labor on this and other wedge issues, it is all we would have heard about. If you doubt this, I refer you to to 2019 and bogus retirement tax ETC!...with MSM having only further degenerated with their biased, horse race, conflict focussed stenography.

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.

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.

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/

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

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

And maybe a bit of Morrison setting himself up a nice earner while throwing Albo a hospital pass www.news.com.au/technology/i...

I was ready to chuck it in after 3 episodes on ‘why should I put myself through this’ basis. Was persuaded to continue and it is genius black comedy

Our small/urgent medical parcel to my daughter in UK was stuck for weeks. We thought it related to being assessed for duty and then it was unexpectedly released with no duty payable. Shit show

And the words 'Hannibal directive' to foil hostage taking (with credible claims of IDF applying it on 7/10 to massacre their own) eventually invoked by ABC but then rapidly disappeared www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09...

A bit of a tangent, but I think you were trying out portable hepa filters a while back (maybe on Twitter) and wondered if you had a recommendation. I might have to do my first post 2020 plane trip later this year

Repeat WTFs after having been so impressive. His insights after the Christchurch massacre were extraordinary. A baffling descent since then

How best to respond to friends who wrongly back this?The best I can think of is to screen shot recent opposing quotes from Patrick McGorry. Any other ideas? It is hard to combat support for knee jerk performative govt actions (noble lie vibes) with complexity/nuance when not being an expert
