Yeah whatevs mate.

This most recent round was a real doozy. Can't afford to buy a house in 2025? Thank you, Mr Howard and Mr Costello, for choosing 25 years ago not to do things that could have greatly helped stave off this whole insane property bubble.

Trump's policy on disaster response is really quite awesome. Think up childish nickname for state governor! Why did FDR or Harry Truman or Woodrow Wilson never think of that?

This is the thing. We've seen what an utterly shithouse president he was. Appalling, stupid, dopey, shithouse.

Trouble is, that appeals to the dickhead vote, and I'm starting to think the dickhead vote is not insignificant in modern elections.

I'd agree it's not the same. Much better, in many ways. Did Howard introduce an NDIS? Did he set up a RC into institutional child abuse? Did he introduce a price on carbon like Gillard did? (that was actually starting to reduce emissions but Abbott said "no, this won't do.") Did he pave the way...

I don't think many on here deny that. Most on here would also believe it's pretty plain that leftist arguments can be sustained with facts and science. Unlike the feels, sense of hurt pride and vindictiveness that passes for argument from a lot of right-leaning sites.

No. I'm saying they are both public servants, which is what you were tangentially criticising Albanese for being. If you want to make the case that cops are more important than politicians, go right ahead. A nation with a police force but no government. Gee wouldn't that be a swell place to be...

Please don't feed the troll.

Jesus Christ who in their right mind would hear that garbage and go "Yeah, Trump's the man. He knows how to get things done"? I just made a post over on the Ask An Atheist thread, singing the praises of the wonderful human race. Now I'm not so sure.

Albo's "snout in the public service for all his working life" suggests you're not exactly a bastion of impartiality. Plus the police are public servants. Plus it's well documented that the Qld police in Dutton's time were appallingly corrupt and nasty. Plus there's nothing to suggest he...

LOL jog on mate.

Personally I think political debates are a waste of space but regardless, plenty of people watch the ABC, more than enough to make it fit for purpose.

Is it time for the whole world to get together and tell Elon Musk to eff off? FMD he’s painful. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/12/canada-election-elon-musk-justin-trudeau

Apart from his carer.

Aw, sheeit Stevie. Elon and co are racists? You make your bed, you lie in it.

Long read, but fascinating. What a world. Thanks.

I personally think this whole End Times mindset speaks to a fundamental misanthropy, a dismaying pessimism about the wonderful potential of the human race. Lord knows (LOL) there’s much about the world today and what we’ve done to the planet to make us pessimistic, but I dunno, at the end of...

How terribly Catholic of you.

I admit I’m not a psephologist, but I can’t help suspecting this narrative that Dutton has put himself in a winning position is a bit of a media confection. People are forgetting the comprehensive shellacking the electorate handed out to the Coalition in 2022. The usual electoral calculus was...

True. Someone I know posted this Andrew Coyne article on FB and most of the Trump supporters were entirely incapable of coping with it. "What a load of incomprehensible garbage" seemed a particularly common lament from them. (Funny that they were scared off by big words because a couple of big...

Is that meant to be Biden on the left?

Guess they learned their lesson when they saw the hounding that Malcolm Fraser got for stating the bleeding obvious, that life wasn’t meant to be easy.

With you there. But maybe you should tell that to the Coalition and their idiot supporters, who wouldn’t shut up about them when Labor were last in power.

Nice to see California governor Gavin Newsom in responding to Trump politicising the Los Angeles bushfires, calling out the modus operandi of the orange gangster. Should be more of it. Newsom said that Trump’s assertions about a state water project were a “salad, it’s the form and substance of...

Doubt it. It’s a clear tactic.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder whether all this horseschit about Greenland and Panama and Canada is purely about Trump's ego. Oligarchs love collecting and trying to outdo each other. Mansions, yachts, mistresses, rare vintage cars, wines. Trump's probably thinking "I'm about to...

Such a good judge of character, ol' Geens.

Bloody hell what an arrogant goose.
