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

Kirky, I agree that the Daily Tele is apalling.

However, permitting governments to break up media institutions for reasons of political opposition is the start of a pretty dangerous story.

The Daily Telegraph has been roundly condemned for their article on Shorten’s Mum.

Even ScoMo and Bolt have criticised the Telegraph, while the Herald-Sun refused to publish the story.

It certainly sets a bad precedent, however an Australia without News Corp would be a vastly improved Australia.

Except when the Liberals get back in power and decide they didn't like the ABC's coverage.

Ok but the only true poll is the election. All the others can be selectively and can be with MOE.

True, but I was quoting a post that spoke of future voting, so only relevant figures are current voting expectations.

Another one bites the dust.

Finally a Green, it's like they're a real political party now

And another should, but the Greens are sticking phat with this guy for some reason. Calling a person of combined Aboriginal and Irish descent a coconut is one of the most offensive slurs available.

They were real when the reports of bullying and misogyny rose their heads a couple of years ago. They should be very proud.

Canada and New Zealand seem to be ok with their media perhaps we should take a leaf out of their book.

This is worse than the 2013 election campaign, which was a clusterf*ck. No wonder people pre-poll.

 

[LiquidCrow]

Didn't catch the last debate, but it must have been bad for Morrison if someone like Bolt thinks Shorten won.

 

[Jinglebells32]

Yes we will raise benefits ...when ? .....in time

I spoke to Nadia Clancy Labor candidate for Boothby last week. She said the review would be about how much newstart should go up. The same as when Labor reviewed the pension and then raised it last time they were in.

 

[brucetiki]

Another Centrelink scandal.

Terminally ill man dies waiting for the DSP, overpay the estate, then raise a debt on the estate.

https://www.theguardian.com/austral...sability-support-pension-approval?CMP=soc_567

Surely it’s time for a Royal Commission into Centrelink. It’s just one bungle after the other.

I used to work with her mother, Rosemary, many years ago.

I leave you this as evidence of ABC bias. Leigh Sales on interrupting the leaders on the 7.30 Report;

Morrison 26 times
Shorten 17
Greens Flog 0, not once

Did not ask Di Natale about Hannah

Draw even? Pretty sure Bicks was claiming that ScoMo had won both previous debates.

It was really poor form from Penny Wong to not shake Simon Birmingham's hand.

She deserves all the criticism that comes her way if she's going to be that petty.

Yep, we passed legislation on that.

What legislation?

Probably coz Morrison actually doesn't have any policies. It would be nice to actually see a few before May 18.

And where has the Environment Minister gone?



More lies from Morrison, perhaps Melissa Price could front the media and respond given after all she is the Environment Minister.

https://www.theguardian.com/austral...ference-to-environment-bill-that-doesnt-exist

And why isn't the rest of the complicit MSM not asking where is the legislation? Morrison has had a free run with a complicit media not grilling him on his lies and mistruths.

This is well worth 17 minutes to view. Our politicians are so so nowadays

This is unrelated but I went to school with her. She was always rather annoying and obnoxious so it doesn't surprise me she ended up in politics. She'll get my vote nonetheless.

Maybe she was just being polite, because he answered her questions and didn't talk over her?

Or she felt sorry for him, since the Greens get zero airtime despite being the 3rd biggest political party in the country, whereas PHON(Y) and UAP get oodles of airtime for their cockamamie policy bullshit?

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...erred-pm-contest-narrows-20190505-p51k71.html

The primary vote support for the Greens rose from 13 to 14 per cent over the past month, Ipsos found. The polling firm has consistently recorded higher primary votes for the Greens compared to other published polls and the party’s 10 per cent primary vote at the last election. In a sign of the difficulty in predicting the coming election result, the new survey includes Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party for the first time and shows it has a primary vote of 3 per cent. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has a primary vote of 5 per cent, unchanged from the April survey.

...who's Hannah?
