GAME DAY - 2019 Fed election Goals and Clangers thread ALP 7.10.52 LNP 5.3.33 FT

After a scare campaign by the Morrison Government that included the Prime Minister claiming Bill Shorten wanted to “end the weekend” by forcing people out of SUVs and Small Business Minister Michaelia Cash said Labor’s target of 50 per cent electric vehicles by 2030 would mean tradies’ “favourites utes” would be banned, the car industry is preparing to meet the demands of new car buyers.

While many electric vehicles on sale so far have been small cars, several battery-powered SUVs are either on sale now or are set to hit showrooms in Australia in the next 18 months, including the Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul, Audi e-tron, Mercedes-Benz EQ C and Jaguar I-Pace.

Even American brand Jeep, which is famous for its rugged off-roaders that are ideal for weekend camping trips, has confirmed it will have four electric models on sale globally by 2022.

New polling shows that voters would support even higher sales targets. Scummo's attack should fall flat

One in two Australians would support shifting all sales of new cars to electric vehicles by 2025, according to polling by the Australia Institute.

In the Australia Institute’s poll, more than half of Labor voters (56%) supported the idea that 100% of new vehicle sales be electric by 2025, and 65% of Greens voters.

Forty-two per cent of Coalition voters were in favour, versus 38% who were opposed, with the remainder unsure.

Labor candidate anti seminism rant.

You do such an amazing job of trying to be this boards most hysterical, least reliable poster.

Everyone else: "Let's have a fairly reasonable discussion about politics."
Adz: "THEY'RE ANTI-SEMITES/ THEY'LL DESTROY THE COUNTRY/STATE/ HIGH TAXES."

This is why people are so quick to ignore actual anti-semitism now - because it lost all meaning when zealots and RWNJs decided no one is allowed to have a view contrary to Israeli settlements without being labelled anti-semetic. Parke's view is one that is shared by over half the world. She didn't step down because it was anti-semetic, she stood down because the ALP is too gutless to have a contrary opinion on Israel because of seats like Melbourne Ports/Macnamara.

And nothing she said was anti-semitic, she simply expressed a view about Israel politics and how it affects the Palestinians

She made claims at a WA Labor For Palestine meeting last month that Israeli guards at a checkpoint in Gaza had forced a pregnant woman to drink a bottle of bleach.

Ms Parke’s speech was described by Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council executive director Colin Rubenstein as “nothing more than a laundry list of slanders, including discredited conspiracy theories and downright falsification”.

“We have seen in other countries what happens when political parties turn a blind eye towards fanatics and conspiracy theorists in their ranks,” Mr Rubenstein told News Corp.

Mental health services for young and indigenous people will receive a boost of more than $42 million if the coalition wins the federal election.

NewsCorp, you say?

Certainly better than trying to cut them off the dole for six months. Scummo thinks we're going to forget about the last five years.

Questions about eligibility under Section 44 have forced the Liberal Party to relinquish three of its preselected candidates in Melbourne just as the election campaign begins.

The party's candidate for the marginal north suburban Labor seat of Wills, Vaishali Ghosh, was forced to step aside over her Indian heritage, while Kate Oski, Liberal candidate for the safe western suburbs Labor seat of Lalor, had to resign because she may be able to claim Polish citizenship through her father.
Helen Jackson, the Liberals' candidate for Cooper (formerly known as Batman), was asked to resign from the contest because she is an Australia Post employee, but she has refused and will soon be disendorsed, Liberal sources say.

Working as a public servant may compromise a candidate's eligibility, according to Section 44 of the Australian Constitution.

The party is scrambling to find new candidates ahead of the close of nominations on April 23, and will need to double-check the eligibility status of their other candidates ahead of the election on May 18.

How has this not been counted as a clanger yet ?

Don't see why Melissa Parke quit.

What's antisemitic is an obsession with Israel and Palestinians living within it, compared with other religious and ethnic minorities living in other parts of the world who face even greater persecution.

If all you blabber on about is Israel disproportionately, then you are probably an antisemite, or just a very stupid person that hasn't realised that is the reason other people blabber on about Israel and you've just joined the crowd.

Imagine the horror if Michaela Cash was made to actually ride in a Ute with an actual tradie? Although I reckon Scomo will be on the lookout for burnout comps to hit in the next few weeks
