Anthony Albanese is actually quite a good bloke, but he is invisible at the moment for a reason.
Waiting to hear from all the Dem supporters about the new tax break for millionaires (multi millionaires) that the Biden admin is putting through...
Still grasping at straws for something to distract hey? Ideally all people earning > 500k should be paying more tax, not less but if those earning > ~850k are paying a lot more tax than they have been then overall the policy is still worthwhile. Keen to see the finalised plan before reacting positively or negatively about it though tbh.Waiting to hear from all the Dem supporters about the new tax break for millionaires (multi millionaires) that the Biden admin is putting through...
Yeah for someone so incredibly arrogant, Scott Morrison would have to be up there as one of the dumbest leaders we've ever had. Probably not as dumb as Abbott but at least Tony was smart enough to know he wasn't very smart and acted within his limitations. Meanwhile ScoMo acts like he is the smartest man in the room, despite him clearly having the tainted touch. Literally everything he has touched, has turned to s**t. I feel sick thinking I will have no choice but to vote for Albanese - yuck, just yuck! Literally the only remotely positive thing I can say about Morrison is at least him being the leader of the Libs, means that Dutton isn't. It is just plain scary that he is very likely next in line. I'm just as angry at Labor for enabling these morons.I just came here to say that Scott Morrison is probably the least capable world leader in action at the moment. He comes across a lazy, inept and totally out of his depth manager who wouldn’t exert even the tiniest amount of authority in his own home, let alone his party, the country or the international stage. Hes only our Prime Minister because Shorten is so stupid he thought he’d go to the election with a socialist agenda. This country is ******* doomed. Education is falling behind the rest of the world, his carbon neutral bluprint looks like it was a year 10 science project, broadband is quicker in Estonia than it is in Australia and he or his party can’t deal with China because they can’t take the emotion out of anything they do. But I suppose having a vast vocabulary and a world class ability to talk sh*t for hours and say nothing at all is really all it takes to be a pollie these days.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Of course the smarter move by Biden would be to just stop doing anything. Follow that previous orange turd's lead and just talk about doing stuff, keep saying it will happen soon, and then do absolutely nothing. It is pretty damning that "sleepy Joe" has done far more in his first year than that previous sack of sh*t did in his entire presidency. If the old guy that falls asleep at the table is out performing you then probably best to just concede you that you are completely out of your depth. Well except that whole insurrection thing - that was something Adolf Twitler did 'achieve'. Any word on when any and all involved, including Don the Con, end up in prison?

It seems as though those of us on both sides are unimpressed. I am waiting to see if Labor presents something worth voting for... otherwise I will be entirely uninspired going to vote at the next election.
Yes I have voted for the ALP before - McGowen when I lived in the Rockingham area and for Kevin 07.
Any anonymous donors/nepotism involved do you think? Nooooo... it's all merit based isn't it!? A friend of mine missed out on a Rhodes Scholarship to a relation of someone on the selection panel. Was just a coincidence I am sure Strangely my friend is now a professor at Oxford, and the person that got the scholarship... I'm sure it's all very legit though and only the best of the best get those opportunities without any bias or quid pro quo.Abbott was a Rhodes Scholar. They don't give them out to dumbies
Thousands of worthy people each year apply for a Rhodes. The vast majority miss out. Are you seriously suggesting that because a worthy person you know missed out, the process is corrupt?Any anonymous donors/nepotism involved do you think? Nooooo... it's all merit based isn't it!?

I used to cross paths with Abbott a bit before he was PM and unless he is a good actor at hiding some amazing intelligence he remains one of the dumbest people I've ever met (in a professional working capacity). It was so awkward because I watch some of the footage of t***p and it reminds me of Tony - like explaining the most simple of things that you'd expect most people on the street to know, let alone the leader of a country.

The problem is that by the time you’re considered ‘next in line’ you’re a professional politician who probably went into politics 48 years ago to ‘make a difference’ but have been tainted by a lifetime of telling lies, attacking the man and spinning words around in circles. There would not be a group of people more out of touch with the average person than the elected officials that act on our behalf. Not only do they think they’re the cleverest people they know, they also think you and I are dead s**t yocals who are dumb as bricks.Yeah for someone so incredibly arrogant, Scott Morrison would have to be up there as one of the dumbest leaders we've ever had.

Evidently they do...Abbott was a Rhodes Scholar. They don't give them out to dumbies
At the time I met Abbott I had met and personally spoken to more than half the Members of Parliament and plenty of their key staff. Some of them were incredibly intelligent and insightful (irrespective of whether I agreed with their political stance or not). Some examples on the Liberal side... Ruddock - smart. Vanstone - smart. Hill - smart. Costello - smart. Fischer - smart. Anderson - smart. Downer - um... well he certainly wasn't dumb but pretty sure he's not a fellow member of Mensa. Abbott - I was in shock then and still find it surreal at how dumb the conversations I had with him were. When he became leader and then PM it was a wake-up call for me that major parties were more than happy to have anyone as the public figure head whilst the real power brokers pulled the strings behind closed doors.Thousands of worthy people each year apply for a Rhodes.

As for your second paragraph, I have never met the man and don't like him, what he did to Gillard was appalling and his Catholicism is not my cup of tea. But one of the dumbest people you've ever met hey? You need to get out more.

That's a good point. Both our primary parties are left of center and both are to the left of both US parties in action, but perhaps not rhetoric.state of political discourse is sad when current Labor (and democrats for that) are referred to as 'lefties'
legacy of mccarthyism and the cold war really damaged everyones brains
how do you think theyre both left of center?That's a good point. Both our primary parties are left of center and both are to the left of both US parties in action, but perhaps not rhetoric.
I think both would claim the support of workers, both certainly appeal to the workers and both have similar positions on big spending from the top into programs like Medicare - regardless of what scare text messages might send on election day.how do you think theyre both left of center?
theyre both primarily interested in the protection of capital and serve the interests of the propertied and corporations, anti-capitalist = left at least imo

I think the definition of "right" has shifted.The last Government that you could say was left of centre in Australia was the Whitlam Government and Fraser, the man who opposed him 50 years ago had to quit the Liberal Party because of its extremist policies.
This country has veered so far to the right its an embarrassment. Just have to look at how the ballot papers in the house of representatives of recent years are stacked with minority parties from right to extreme right, so much so that you have to decided if whether an obvious bunch of repugnant racists like Pauline Hanson's One Nation is going to be the worst of them.
