Easy tiger. I voted yesterday. Pipe it down a notch.

Not sure. I can see them go full Trump and get aligned with our extreme right wing parties and billionaires and make their own truth social and just double down hard calling it a hoax. All the flooding is just weather engineering with chemtrails, didn’t you know?

Happy to have a bit of a debate over that. You can put them dead centre if that makes you feel better.

They certainly have some positives for the general public, and more so than the $.25 rebate promised by LNP. However, the majority of stuff they offer are stopgaps, instead of fixing the real underlying issues. High power bills aren’t going to go down with one off rebates. First home buyers 5% isn’t fixing the housing supply, or over demand, nor is it a solution to anyone over 40 who still hasn’t been able to buy, because a 5% deposit means you’ll pay for forever and then some. Same with tax cuts. Also Tax Cuts are right wing, though they are usually for the wealthy.

They are still all for really terrible corporate developments, they are still cosy with the coal lobby, they’re just smart enough to not bring a big beautiful lump of coal into parliament anymore. They won’t tax mega corporations fairly, they won’t do anything for the climate emergency, just boost green energy, without any serious international commitments or plans to reduce or go net zero in this term of this new government. None of that anywhere.

They tried one terribly worded referendum which probably blew the Aboriginal community a chance at some form of reconciliation for the next half a century, and there’s no more follow up. They have no solid plan for the housing crisis, just a few hand outs.

It’s not screaming right wing, and I didn’t say it was, and it certainly isn’t Trumpism, and our democracy is bar none one of the best and most secure in the world, but it isn’t progressive or left at all. It is fairly competent centrism, maintaining the status quo for corporate Australia, while minimally appeasing the plebeians, because thank fuck, it could have been so much worse. it is a shameful far cry from what we needed in order to really respond to the situation we’re in on the global timeline.

Oh god… We had Jacinta Pryce (extreme right winger in Oz) try the same here tonight. How do they expect this to work? I suppose because it worked for Diaper Don..

Telling people to google stuff is so fcking reddit mate.

Thanks for providing context.

Wait what? Source please

to the left

yet still barely over the left centre part of the political spectrum. Cautious optimism, with the heavy emphasis on cautious.

It must be stated that the Labor party here are anything but progressive. They are centre-right by the most recent assessment of their values and support a variety of cunts in toxic industries who fund their campaigns.

The libs (our very right wing major party) ran an exceptionally incompetent campaign, with Dutton as a key soulless idiot who can’t admit to mistakes when it hits him in the face. They had a bit of headwind from the global anti Trump sentiment, but it wasn’t like we were in the same situation like Canada.

Regionally we already ARE the 51st state of the USA, because we provide them with much needed Southern Hemisphere intelligence bases which Australians have no right to visit, and they are our protector against any major military threat in the region.

It’s a minor victory for any progressive minded person, as any mention of action on the climate emergency was stupifyingly absent from the entire campaign.

Democrats really need to plan the votes around the times of day when Moscow Mitch isn’t in the middle of a reboot.

We’re doing Dutton here on Saturday.

It started like that last time too

Susan Collins just called: said he learned his lesson and it won’t happen again.

Anyone know a good online store that sells cheap bleach?

Man, these zionist sympathisers really all coming out of the woodwork all because some silly book is making them believe this is the end times. Worse than the MAGA cult.

Make this the most upvoted post on Lemmy yet

Buddy, I’m not following you around. I’m casually perusing Lemmy. Look at your comment history, shitposting and being a bitter salty contrarian is your full time job here, which I didnt know, hence my surprise to run into you again.

You’re not here. None of your comments - to me or others - display any kind of willingness to listen or openness to other people’s viewpoints. You never respond to people’s points, just talk over them, so carry on. You’re making Lemmy look busy and a valid alternative to Reddit lurkers, and provide downvotable content, so I’m grateful for your contributions either way.

No alts. One and the same.

Sorry for not posting reference.

Here you go https://lemmy.world/comment/16421833

You may be projecting. I see your alt is upvoting your ridiculously bitter comments everywhere. Time to take a break from Lemmy Person Prole.

If you’re outside USA

1. stay there
2. upvote this
3. comment
4. share everywhere

If you’re inside understand there is no going back from this, you will not be able to vote your way out of this. Go to the protests this weekend.

Can confirm, I just saw this for the first time and it’s nearly mid June here. You won’t believe this but he start-paused the tariffs 5 more times in that time! You don’t know how lucky you are there in April
