Ahhh, a political thread for those sharing the same sunny, venomous, dangerous, beautiful piece of earth I do! Hooray!


But Christ where does one even begin? With the near completely broken “choice” presented to us by the looming election? That’ll do. For me, knowing better, it seems purely a personality choice as labour is liberal lite and, should they be elected, we will still be the lap dogs of that lone, corrupt, war-fed, hypocritical empirical power. Personally I want scomo removed for being as transparent as water and I want Dutton to crawl back into the fell gollum cave from which he came….he is by far the most poisonous person I have ever witnessed in Australian politics (yes he’s worse than miss Hanson) and he’s legitimately dangerous besides).

I find myself as a man without faith in the major parties, and I do not support the greens on every issue. Our national broadcaster is becoming a tepid, supine collection of woke parrots (look at the morning show now for goodness sake. I want to cut my ears off as I came here to get away from channel 7 and 9) whose bias, both political and geopolitical, is naked to anyone with perception.

I’ll probably vote labour, merely because the other band of criminals are so distasteful and deaf and dumb and blind that I’d like some other band of the same to try it out.

“An ostentatious psychopath”

Ahhh, it always brings me pleasure when a nationally decorated “war hero”, a la Ben Roberts smith, has his egotistism levelled by the too rare occurrence and inherent discoveries of investigative journalism in this country.

It's psychopathy and egotism and nationalism in its most virile permutation, Spending untold millions whilst praying that his “special” clearances might force the truth to never be told, and perhaps he still doesn’t think that kicking a civilian off a cliff counts for nothing when you count on no one saying a word about it.

No one in the SAS would come to court and disavow one of their brothers, unless that operators actions repeatedly and definably fell into the criminal.

Anyway I love it when a nation has to be mirror-shown the truth of the character of war it never protested enough, in a conflict that solved nothing and ruined so much and only (and demonstrably) detracted from the rights and liberties of millions of Australians who would never set foot in Afghanistan.
Not to mention the Afghanistan people themselves

Uhhh to all my bickering brothers and sisters…

This is the AUSTRALIAN politics thread. I’m all for hearing more about trump, the DNC, RNP, FSB, CIA, MIA, ABC XYZ, oh Russia too.

But I’m sure y’all can have several threads for this kind of thing. You might have troops stationed here and plans for more, but that hasn’t been in discussion for a few pages now. Nor anything else based in the wonderful land of Aus.

There’s like 12 other threads on the top page we could discuss domestic American politics and wars and American corruption and more American politics. 12 ish. I haven’t actually counted but I’m doubtless in the ballpark.


Can we redirect?

Polite request?

What about prisoners making uniforms for fast food chains for cents on the hour? Or having more people imprisoned than any other nation on earth?

Or what happened to Japanese Americans during WW2, or unumbered men renditioned to Guantanamo or various black sites and systematically destroyed without being charged, much less convicted?

I didn’t know sudly was Australian! Hey from northern NSW.

But like stable I voted no. I’m a stickler for equality under the law and in political representation, and to be fair giving ANY group of people an extra “say” over anyone else, is entirely unfair.  Some (not me) might even think it’s a little racist.

Those of indigenous heritage have the same vote and say as anyone else does.  They have the same right to be fucked over, lied to and  led along by the people they vote to represent their political and social standings like anyone else.

I hope it fails. Nothing against people with indigenous personhood (one of my good friends has that kind of ancestry and he voted no for the same reasons)—but we are all equally able to equally state what we’d like to see in this country.

It was a bad idea. And it’s only created division when we are all Australian and all free to do what we’re told by our glorious and faithful and fearless “leaders”.

I’ve been hearting so much the recent guardian claim that the dark spectre of misinformation is the reason why the referendum failed. It seems the media, alongside politicians, like the write off the electorate as being so many stupid and easily led lemmings…and maybe, in many respects, we actually are—but amongst my family and small circle of friends who voted no (who have innumerable disagreements with me on a multitude of other issues), it came down to unequal representation in a  democracy. That, for them and I at least, was the big problem. Wouldn’t matter the ethnicity propped up for an additional means of representation.  It was patently unfair.

The uncovering of Thomas Mayo’s deplorable “scheme” did nothing but drive another coffin nail into the cause, by the way. If you don’t know who that gentleman is and what he stands for, go do some looking around.

Anyhow, I do quietly applaud mister potato head/Voldemort for pushing for a total audit of the funds given to rural and remote indigenous communities. If there’s been no graft then I’ll move to the states and don a red cap. I suspect huge diversion of monies into la-do-da programs that do nothing to address trauma, substance abuse as a coping mechanism for such trauma, dysfunctional and abusive upbringing as a consequence of intergenerational inequality.

At SOME point, however—and it should never be me up for this job and it shouldn’t be now—those with indigenous heritage who have pulled themselves out of the awful and protracted consequences of all of THAT, they will need to tell the stories of why and how they did it.

And there won’t be wiggle room when it’s laid out in the open. No matter your melanin level, your ethnicity, or the circumstances into which you were born, the solution is the same for all of us:

You have to decide not to repeat what hurt you, take responsibility for yourself and pride in who you are, and leave the past behind. That doesn’t happen overnight for everyone. It’s a journey and lots of us need help along the way.

But Id like hear that story one day. Because it could empower a lot of good people and inspire them.

^ so basically it’s as two hip hop guys wrote back in 2004-2005

“This land is either run
By labour or liberal,
But don’t get it twisted
They’re the same as the criminals.”

(“The sea is rising” by bliss n eso for the internationals here)

I have a lifelong friend in Sydney who has also been a lifelong labour/lesser greens voter.

How he feels right now: used and betrayed and newly faithless in any incarnation of a government as they are, when it comes to geopolitics and the merest notion of integrity.  Can’t say I disagree.
