Political Discussion part #2 - Let’s go out for 10 Big Macs at the Engadine Maccas!!

[mistylake]

Hope not, but I'd like a new rectangular stadium and a redeveloped Memorial Drive.

Not super high on the priority list mind you

Yeah not sure AFLX has earned a brand new stadium yet.

 

[brucetiki]

Wonder if Frank Pangello knows he doesn’t have to kick the Legislative Council door in to go in now he’s likely to be elected

 

[hey shorty]

Yeah not sure AFLX has earned a brand new stadium yet.

Socceroos games, Union internationals, League games, concerts and other things.

Makes sense

 

[hey shorty]

Nah, Marshall is a Port man too

The rest aren't

 

[jo172]

The rest aren't

And know where their bread is buttered on that basis.

There was a lot of sympathy from the SA Libs supporters to that of a Crows supporter. Nothing like the consistent ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for such a consistent basis over 20 years

 

[Deaneus!]

Libs are currently 51.9% in Heysen but 13 votes behind in Adelaide.

?? I thought Liberals had already romped in Adelaide

 

[jo172]

?? I thought Liberals had already romped in Adelaide

Apparently some results were entered incorrectly on the night.

They're pretty confident that come declaration votes they'll be comfortably ahead in Adelaide.

Some are suggesting re Mawson that it could come down to <10 votes either way.

I am the facetious one.

Lucas got the for sale sign out already?

Battery up for sale apparently.

 

[jo172]

Battery up for sale apparently.

I heard he's trying to buy back MAC, the LTO, Forestry SA and Lotteries SA.

Or were those good privatisations?

Why not?

 

[Elite Crow]

Don’t expect a straight answer.

 

[jo172]

Don’t expect a straight answer.

Bruce's views, particularly on privatisation tend to remind me of the sheep in animal farm



I'll go on record that Lotteries SA was a perfectly sensible thing to privatise.

Forestry SA nothing wrong with privatising it in principle albeit it was sold way under value.

MAC and the LTO was madness though.

 

[brucetiki]

So you’re not denying the sale then?

What’s next on the fire sale list?

 

[jo172]

So you’re not denying the sale then?

What’s next on the fire sale list?

No, battery not being sold, we're buying back the LTO.

Are you in favour of that? Or do you think it was good to sell it?

Or just:

 

[brucetiki]

Since when did the Libs start buying back stuff?

 

[jo172]

More likely than you answering a direct question it seems

 

[brucetiki]

So you can teach an old dog new tricks

 

[jo172]

So you can teach an old dog new tricks

Aren't you a teacher by trade? This might help per SparkNotes:

“Four legs good, two legs bad.”
This phrase, which occurs in Chapter III, constitutes Snowball’s condensation of the Seven Commandments of Animalism, which themselves serve as abridgments of Old Major’s stirring speech on the need for animal unity in the face of human oppression. The phrase instances one of the novel’s many moments of propagandizing, which Orwell portrays as one example of how the elite class abuses language to control the lower classes. Although the slogan seems to help the animals achieve their goal at first, enabling them to clarify in their minds the principles that they support, it soon becomes a meaningless sound bleated by the sheep (“two legs baa-d”), serving no purpose other than to drown out dissenting opinion.

Surely you must actually believe in some things greater than Red = Good, Blue = Bad?

Me a teacher? I’m flattered but I don’t like kids

 

[Elite Crow]

Told you

 

[brucetiki]

Told you

I can’t disappoint you now

 

[jo172]

I can’t disappoint you now

Sure you're not this guy?

 

[jo172]

Also, Bruce, can you clarify how you think the battery, which isn't owned by the state to begin with, for sale?

 

[brucetiki]

Sure you're not this guy?

You’re slightly off
