Australian Politics thread [merged]

The other is the fact people fell for the tarriff damage in their retirement savings. They then poanicked and connected the 2 dots. Those same financially illiterate people may want to see how things are going now, because the world has not ended and if they had half a brain would have taken full advatnage of the situation.

Are you honestly saying that the Trump tariffs is all that makes up the Trump effect and is the only thing that made people turn away from  the LNP in droves? It you do then I'm afraid you simply don't get it. Trump's positions on so many things extreme right wing. And it is not who we are or clearly what the majority don't want to be.

I'll say it again the Jacinta Price presser where she flipped a Trumpsim to "let's make Australia great again" was one of the most damaging days of the LNP's campaign. They ran a shocking campaign that can't be disputed but that moment, well there was no coming back from it.

And BTW as of tonight it looks like Goldstein might be heading back the Libs thanks to the postal votes

Make up fo the Senate is going to fascinating... ALP has picked up numbers in the Senate but they will still need the crossbenches to get legislation through

[Diocletian]

Trump's barely to the right of the Clinton administration, it's just that the Overton window's been moved so far left that it's fallen off the edge and into an abyss of stupidity and insanity.

Just a quick question

Alot of people got bombarded with texts from Harry Fong from Trumpet of Patriots

I certainly did think I got at least 1 a day for over a week, some days got 2

How many did others get?

And also curious to know who didn't get them?

I didn't get any but being in Canada on holidays probably helped.

As for the election. I think Albo has the next election in the bag. That's six more years. How will we cope.
And Jacinta Allen has the next Victorian election wrapped up. I expect the Libs and the Nats will split. Expect we have seen the last of the nuclear fantasy as well. Good times all round.

[Diocletian]

Can't wait for the rolling blackouts at the height of summer to finally kill off the last of the Whitlamite boomers, good times indeed.

Agree about the next federal election.

State less convinced but you may be right.

The nuclear energy was one item I was very happy about with Libs but it wasn't enough.

The fact that we don't already have nuclear is a joke. This should have been done when Howard was in power and pocketing surplus, as well as all the rail work, east-west link stuff etc. Instead of investing in infrastructure we just got 'surplus' proud moments.

Fancy having the world's richest uranium deposits and not even having a nuclear industry of our own while still exporting it to the rest of the world including our competitors & enemies- what a truly stupid country we are.

Oh and a country that's about 85% uninhabitable desert where you could bury the miniscule waste.

Yeah.

Btw I think Kazakhstan has the largest and we're second largest but yeah that was my point haha

Wrong Andyy.
Dio correct. We have the largest deposits BY FAR.
Kazakhstan are the largest producer.

Interestingly, they don’t have nuclear energy either lol

[Diocletian]

You'd think the Soviets would've left a few reactors behind - they used to test their bombs there, while we let the poms test their's here -
good to know we've always been as smart as Borat.

Well they probably have the excuse of being too poor. We don't.

They aren’t as poor as you think mate

It was supported last year there .. so only a matter of time

Honestly , the Australian people opposing nuclear have been brainwashed

Yeah, or just too trauma-focused on Chernobyl to look at the facts and modern science of it all re: meltdown risk and waste volume/storage, fuel options etc.

The fact we don't have nuclear in every large state astonishes me. It's diabolical.

Time to move on Albo has another 6 years and the Nuclear fantasy is as good as dead and buried. Time to concentrate on getting the Liberals back as a power. We need a strong opposition. The teals/independents are irrelevant.

The only "fantasy" going on here is net zero - even Labour Luvvie Tony Blair has woken up.
