Politics Hypocrisy of The Right.

[Gough]

Australia used to have a pride in our tall poppy syndrome and the idea that nobody gets too ahead off themselves but that's been replaced with punching down and the idea that anybody that's fallen behind is at fault and shouldn't be helped.

<<<Trump has refused to sign ethics pledges or agreements required by the Presidential Transitions Act, allowing his transition team to accept secret donations and avoid mandated transparency. Trump has also missed key deadlines and failed to enable FBI background checks on nominees, prompting criticism from lawmakers who warned this undermines the administration’s preparedness for national security and ethical governance. Historically, transitions have complied with agreements limiting donations and disclosing donors to prevent conflicts of interest and foreign influence, but Trump’s actions bypass these norms, raising accountability concerns. Trump is the first president-elect to bypass these restrictions>>>

Every standard the right wing would hold anyone else to has been ignored when it comes to that price.

Then if the left follows their lead, they squawk about "hypocrisy".

I'm gonna guess "the left" won't have to worry about this eventuation for some time.

If you don’t like it, leave.

Many outraged callers to 3aw today bemoaning the state of the state. Not without merit one must acknowledge. But don’t like it leave applies to everyone yes?

No. If you don't like it, you call it out. Then, if everyone's on board, left and right, you fix it using conciliation and dialogue...

The notion that everyone has to conform to the status quo an individual might agree with, which is different to conforming to a majority, is the height of self entitled arrogance...

And thus the hypocicy. the right says dont like it leave (aussie flag, southern cross tattoo), but when they dont like something everyone else has to comply with then

So the libs are trying to curry favour with nimbys but won’t actually say they wouldn’t do the same thing.

The horrific arson attack on the synagogue overnight receiving attention it deserves. I have no idea why anyone would attack a place of worship. Just gives tom elliott a chance to link it to the pro Palestinians (his guess as to who was behind it).
I hoped he was just as fervent in discussing neo nazis in australia. The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Those who would have it January 26th is our foundation day also seem to think the best way to commemorate that is smashing beers at the pub.

For the benefit of the dude. We have laws and processes over immigration, so have another port and don’t worry your sorry racist arse bout it

It's not really new at all.

Probably making the news cause some Amish got shut down a few months ago for it.

Been around forever.

Was actually a lefty hippy thing back in the day.
