This guys my local MP and all communication we have had from him has been "gangs and crime".

Even Mrs Slabs remarked if they are his only concerns maybe he should be in "state" parliament ........

Exactly. How the hell do they get away with this?

If you were watching federal politics recently you would think that the biggest federal issues are;

African gangs - all the LNP - of course it is a state law and order issue
Peophile sentences - Peter Dutton - again a state law and order issue
East West link - a state infrastructure issue
Abortion laws - Kiwi Banaby - another state law and order issue

Yet the following issues;

Drought and water crisis - Kiwi Barnaby will not even issue his report - crickets
Environment - crickets
Energy policy - crickets
Newstart increase - crickets

But on the following issues they are all in;

Robo debt
Cashless cards
Compulsory drug tests - but only for the poor to get your cashless debit card
Their precious ******* budget surplus they can only achieve by stonewalling the disabled

AND WE VOTED THESE campaignerS IN

WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?
 
Was Dutton rubbished by basically everyone except the far right? Or was he rubbished by basically everyone that's far-left in the media class? And then you've just gone and lumped in most ordinary Australians as "far right" too?

What you mean by "pretend he isn't racist" is actually, crap, Jason Wood actually does integrate himself with members of different communities, so my standard trope about the Liberal party racist boogeymen isn't going to work here, so let me make up that secretly he is in fact racist! Disregard any evidence to the contrary!

The "rhetoric" of an MP on Facebook makes not one iota of difference to the Police - the idea that this very VIOLENT gang behaviour occurs, even in part, because of Liberal MPs "rhetoric" is so absurd.

You say he has no ideas on how to deal with them, but then admit 2 seconds later that er, actually, he has.

Something is decreasing because normal, ordinary Australians are crying out for this to be fixed, and eventually their screams are heard as small peeps by the far-left media and political elite that eventually decide to do something. As even they can't pretend any longer there is no African crime gang issue in Melbourne.

None of that is the point.

The point is they act like complete campaigners so they need something else to talk about.

So what do they? The dog whistle on a whole bunch of irrelevant bullshit. Rupert tells Howard's battlers. And Howard's battlers vote the guys stepping on their throats back in.

We are dumb!

And before you start harping on about gang violence being a real issue acknowledge that there are dedicated units within VicPol already dealing with it and before you then whine the they are not dealing with it fast enough, well we still have bikies too, we still have all manners of organised crime, why are the LNP not dog whistling about that?

I don't think there's an issue with us, we know what's going on

It's so many others who are oblivious, ignorant or downright cold hearted and selfish
Classic example of the rusted on whinging about the mob when they both do it, bit like the donations stuff, shock/horror, give it a break ..
Lol

Only one party gets held to account though

The other

The bloody ABC ? Fox? The Aus/Guardian .... WHO are you accusing of failing to hold to account?

We know Albo is trying to rearrange the deck chairs, you need to cut them some slack, IF thats who you think is FAIL.
Butler & Swan are further apart than the Tiges & GWS .... bit like expecting the Vic Libs to hold Dan to account, not going to happen.

The whole thing is broken.

Political power in the west is decided by a sham popularity contest contested on anything and everything that does NOT matter.

Zero solutions are presented and when they are they get dismissed.

We have had Keating win an election cause of GST fear.

Howard won because of Tampa fear.

Rudd won on Workchoices fear.

Abbott won one on the back of nothing but culture wars.

This country has zero leadership and no appetite for change.

I'd say Abbott won off the Boats (aka mainstream Tampa fear), but he didn't stop the boats, MSM just stopped reporting on them once they got power.

But largely agree, aside from Keating, Howard and Rudd were right in some way, particularly Keating (GST did get introduced a few years later)
 
Mark Butler:
"Our only three victories over Liberal governments since World War II all involved an immensely popular leader, a compelling national vision and a superior campaign," he said.

The party has to confront the reality that in 2019, it failed on all three fronts.


Certainly far easier to criticise some junior Minister on the other side, feigning outrage.
