Opinion AUSTRALIAN Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[Kane McGoodwin]

Thought the same Bicks. I suppose he could have quoted the Guardian.

Again debunk these facts with a credible resource.

You get too easily caught up by news source rather than interpreting the actual facts of the story.

Just when you thought Krudd couldn't get any more pathetic and cringeworthy he outdoes himself again, is there no bounds to this joker's stupidity? Now believe it or not he's asked Scott Morrison for help to cultivate a relationship between Rudd and the Trump administration.

How about Upgrade Albo act before this becomes a problem for Australia and find another cushy job for his best buddy Krudd because you don't need to be Einstein to see Rudd's position is untenable.

Trump staffer delivers ominous warning to Kevin Rudd​

One of Donald Trump’s senior advisers has implied that Kevin Rudd’s role as Australia’s Ambassador to the US could be under threat after another staffer issues a stern warning.

One of Donald Trump’s senior advisers has delivered an ominous warning to Kevin Rudd, implying that the Australian Ambassador’s role could be under threat and his time in Washington DC may be running out.
Dan Scavino Jr, a longstanding Trump aide who is one of the President-elect’s most senior campaign advisers, issued a scathing response to Dr Rudd’s previous message congratulating Mr Trump on his election victory.

In his post on X, the Trump aide posted an hourglass GIF alongside Dr Rudd’s statement, suggesting that the former PM’s days in his role as Australia’s ambassador to the US might be numbered.
It came after Sky News uncovered footage in which the former prime minister called the President-elect a “village idiot” and “incoherent”, while another leading figure in Mr Trump’s former administration delivered a bold call.

“Donald Trump doesn’t forget these comments,” former Trump White House press secretary Sean Spicer told Andrew Bolt on Sky News.
Mr Spicer drew a parallel between Dr Rudd’s remarks and Mr Trump’s move to deny Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo roles in his new administration.

“You saw how he kind of thanked Ambassador Haley and Secretary Pompeo for their previous service and said they will not be utilised in this next administration,” Mr Spicer told Sky News.

“It’s just a further sign that Donald Trump may say the polite things to you in public, but he will not forget.”
Now, Dr Rudd has been urged to fall on his sword in the same way that Kim Darroch, the British Ambassador to Washington did in 2019 after hundreds of his private memos were leaked to the media.

Sir Kim had called Mr Trump “dysfunctional” and “inept” but had also warned his bosses in London: “Don’t write him off”.

Mr Trump slammed Sir Kim as a “pompous fool” after the memos were splashed on the front pages of British newspapers.

“The wacky Ambassador that the UK foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy,” Mr Trump said in 2019.

A day later, Sir Kim resigned even though his memos had meant to be only for the eyes of Whitehall officials in London.

CALLS FOR RUDD TO RESIGN​

It comes after Dr Rudd was told to follow the lead of a British Ambassador to Washington who quit three days after leaked cables revealed his criticisms of Mr Trump.

Australia’s Ambassador to the United States has become an increasing distraction for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as newly surfaced videos emerged of Dr Rudd labelling Mr Trump a “village idiot” who was “in love with dictators”.

Mr Albanese was forced to defend Dr Rudd for the second time in less than a week, saying “yes” when asked if he was the best person for the Ambassador’s role.
But Mr Albanese walked away from a press conference in Tasmania before reporters could ask him for more details.

It comes as Dr Rudd attempted to engage Scott Morrison’s help in forging relationships with the Trump administration.

Sky News Australia’s Sharri Markson said, “In a recognition that Rudd will struggle to build bridges with President Trump on his own, he has been cultivating his relationship with Scott Morrison over many months, even launching his book in the United States in May.

“Multiple sources have told me that Rudd has been asking Morrison’s assistance in dealing with the Trump team.”

“My understanding is that Morrison won’t give up his new business ventures and is unlikely to accept any formal role as a special envoy that would mean representing the Albanese Government,” Markson continued.

“But he will help Rudd informally with ties to the Trump Administration, particularly when it relates to AUKUS and Australia’s national interest.”

Mr Morrison has acted as an “informal ambassador” to Trump, Markson said.

Dr Rudd made world headlines last week, including in the New York Times, when he deleted tweets that called Mr Trump the “worst president in history”.

Coalition not bagging him and playing a straight bat, saying it is important he succeeds for the sake of the position.
I hope he digs his heels in an continues
to embarrass himself and Albo.

The fallout up to our next election
will be scrumptious.

Yeah I'm hoping that's the case, amother case of Upgrade Albo's lack of judgement.

Apparently Wong was deadset against giving Rudd the position in the first place but Albanese overruled her with his Captain's pick, of course Wong is now toeing the party line as expected.

The Uk Communist Labor party is going to destroy small farmers with its 40% heritage tax. Where have we heard this before. "destroy the Kulaks, give their farms to the state".

Probably better to post this in the international thread.

Yes, we could use a bit more international and a bit less US.

That figures, that's the pommy clown John McTiernan that came out and worked for Julia Gillard as her director of communications and was a big reason they got rissoled....that ended well...Not.

 

[MsTopG]

Labor are peddling mis/dis information about their mis and dis information bill.

Gonna quote this over here as its Australian politics. Crow till I die MsTopG Brett Cummings Eagleboy2011

Any decent free speech will still be allowed.

Right here you’ve just shown why this legislation is so diabolical.

Nobody, least of all the government or the mainstream media (both of whom are exempt from these laws!) should be deciding what classifies as “decent” free speech.

The government serves the people, not the other way around.

We’ve just come out of an era, during Covid, where a lot of things deemed “misinformation” at the time turned out to be true. If you haven’t learned any lessons from that, I don’t know what to tell you.

To put these laws into perspective, in terms of how they will work in practice, Channel 7 (just to use a random example), will be allowed to say whatever it wants on social media, while you will be restricted.

That’s just one aspect of how shocking these laws are for the basic freedoms of everyday Australians. But I think it demonstrates the point.

 

[Slippery Pete]

And this here is why the government wants to be exempt from the misinformation laws, while at the same time curtailing your ability to call them out.

What other country has banned social media for under 16's? He doesn't give a f.k about kids. He wants free speech to be abolished in this country. If the Govt and Mainstream liars weren't immune he wouldn't even try this shit.

Cheap renewables. And they say nuclear will cost too much.

Labor’s renewables-only grid will cost at least $642 billion, not $122bn as claimed, new report says​

Aussies have criticised Labor’s plan to convert Australia to mainly wind and solar power, which will cost half a trillion dollars more than what Anthony Albanese has been saying.
The real cost of building a renewables-only power grid is more than half a trillion dollars higher than the Albanese government has claimed, bombshell new research reveals.
According to the modelling, replacing a predominantly coal-fired system with mainly solar and wind will set Australia back at least $642 billion, not $122bn as Labor has stated.

The more than $500bn hole is due to the exclusion of fixed and variable operating expenses, fuel and more than $60bn of transmission projects, as well as the use of an accounting treatment called “net present value”, rather than actual prices.

I haven't read the article, but NPV is not some dark art of accounting. It's a universal way to express future cashflows in today's value and perfectly legitimate for estimating the cost of future energy projects, renewable or otherwise.

People like that are the wet dreams of every tyrannical regime in history.

If I’m ever a dictator, give me a country full of Kane McGoodwins please.

First law will be: only one dog per household.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Yes, that’s right, I will dictate what is deemed a “decent” number of dogs in one house.

Kane will be fine with it I’m sure.

 

[kirky]

At least some understand. There is hope.

Yeh, coz the housing crisis has only happened in the past two years?

Seriously, it has been decades in the making when governments, of both political persuasions, gave up building public housing.

And the bill has bi-partisan support.

 

[kirky]

You can understand why both parties want this so badly. They are desperate to ban free speech platforms like X. For one they don't want us to see the mess they have created with their mass immigration disaster and their obsession with cheap labor and ponsy scheme growth.

A decade ago if someone told you we would become a country where Muslims chant on our streets to gas the Jews and Left wing students and the faculty call for the genocide of Israelis you would never have believed them. The elites are desperate to cover up the damage they have created, a disaster that they can no longer control. So they have to hide the truth with censorship.

In a healthy democracy the above and our out-of-control house prices and badly broken health system should be enough for a competent, uncompromised government to do a 180 and change its immigration policy. Neither Labor or Liberal will ever do this and especially if they can censor people's access to independent media.

Misinformation is not free speech. What don’t you get about that? An X is owned by the world’s richest man to con ****ing idiots in believing anything posted on there. Jesus, talk about suckers.

Why do you think house prices are out of control?

 

[kirky]

Could you possibly have found a more biased source if you tried. Maybe you could have tried the Guardian or billionaire renewables investor Holmes A Court? The ALPBC. LOL.

I'm going with a World leading nuclear scientist Dr Adrian Paterson over anyone at the ABC.

And the first one will come online in the mid2040’s. You be dead and buried.

No nuclear power in the western world has been built on time or on budget.

 

[kirky]

Labor are peddling mis/dis information about their mis and dis information bill.

Good god, another kook.
