[Off The Couch]

How much responsibility falls back on the state?

Staffing - this is where a lot of the issues arise and they should be over staffed rather than under

I know for example here in WA we have thousands graduate but only a third will get a hospital position - that’s not good enough

 

[Sqotty from office works]

Serious question - who is the smartest person in the LNP?

I have been mulling this.

Morrison is buffoon with zero intellectual curiosity
Frydo screwed up JobKeeper by $40b
Potato cannot count
Brother Stewie is as dumb as a plank
Hastie same
Colbeck worse
Tehan sounds like he just walked out of deliverance country
Barnaby lol

I’m going with Angus Taylor. He has managed to fleece $80m with zero questions asked and zero fu**s given. That is at least something

Any other contenders?

Probably Simon the likeable.
He speaks well and has some common sense.

 

[Pessimistic]

In certain areas yes I imagine we all will be. The world changes and we won't all keep up with where it's going.

Another example, there's a reason why the batshit right wing conspiracy movement has sucked more boomers in than anyone else, and it's not because there's any truth there for them to see.

They didn't grow up with the internet, so never learned how to critically analyze what the see on it. Rather, they have a culture of believing what the read in print, because when they were younger, newspapers generally curated what they printed.

Todays boomers were a lot more rebellious in thir day than young people today. They maybe as flawed as any group, bu they weren’t an army of drones

 

[Pessimistic]

China laser incident in waters very close to australia on Scomos watch and we are groomed (right word) to only think it would be worse with a labor govt?

Reminds me of when Abbott ‘succeeded’ in getting the Russian fleet parked in our vicinity

How long do we keep believing it’s coincidence all these things happen durin LNP governments


Has any journo grilled scomo and Dutton on this rather than let them make it into an election wedge?

 

[pjcrows]

Again I say, incomprehensible.

Incomprehensible? You weren't paying attention then.

 

[pjcrows]

A lot of young people today act like old people are supposed to.

 

[Brad Goodman]

I can definitely picture Dutton as an attack dog LOTO, still can't picture him as PM though, anything that requires nuance is out of his striking zone.

Reminds me a bit of Abbott, would relish the opposition leader role but go to water if he had to lead the country.

Morrison on the other hand, I reckon he’d have no interest in leading the opposition.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

At least he's not simpimg for newscorp for once

Too busy tracking the price of his share.

 

[Gough]

Looking at the much vaunted border reopening and I don't see a lot of tourists, they look more look the people Morrison promised would be home a couple of Christmas' ago finally making it back.

I think the exact opposite case can be made. Younger generations did grow up with the internet, so they’ve never learned to critically analyse what they see on it.

For my grandkids, the internet and the world are one and the same.

 

[Brad Goodman]

There are idiots in every generation.

Katie Allen (who is gonna lose her seat). Paediatric allergist and smart enough to be one of the 5 floor crossers on the religious discrimination bill. Doesn’t come across as a foaming nutter on radio interviews

 

[Crankyhawk]

And history will repeat, nobody wants Albo as Prime Minister!

Nobody wants scomo as pm either.

See I can make arguments as good as you.

 

[nut]

Forget “national security” … forget “but china” …. Forget “election interference”
Just forget the bullshit we dish out…
Election coming … WeChat ok now apparently ….

Josh Frydenberg advertises on WeChat despite Coalition concerns over foreign interference

Despite political interference concerns over the Chinese social media platform, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has placed ads on WeChat.

She has done her share of defending Morrison.

Crossing the floor once doesn't diminish that fact she votes with Barnaby Joyce on everything else. Hard to rate any person of science who let's ideology █████ fact.

 

[QuietB]

Even ignoring the obvious trolling comment, from the general politically uniformed middle ground that is Australia there doesn’t seem to be much negative feeling towards Albo out there, at the moment. No doubt the right will try their hardest to portray him as Communist, but Albo’s had the advantage of a pandemic sucking up all the airtime to allow the spotlight to be shone on ScoMo and the Premiers, and they have been judged as up to the task. Or not.

Unlike pre 2019 election when the right wing and the rest of the media made Shorten and his tax policies a bigger election issue than Morrison. Shorten had always had a bad rep for his Union background and seeming to be a backstabbing schemer. Albo has had little attention, so they decided to bring out the heavy artillery on him with only a short time left.

History will tell if this campaign is successful, but in terms of how Shorten was perceived 2019 vs Albo now Albo is in a better position for the moment.

The “leftest leader since Whitlam” is laughable by Morrison.

 

[Crankyhawk]

It's counterintuitive to think that 65 year olds are more naive than 20 year olds. Do you see yourself being more naive when you're 60 years old?

Easily led eg not used to how news now is more opinion pieces due to pressure of being first and not fact checked, less variable news sources

 

[Crankyhawk]

Crossing the floor once doesn't diminish that fact she votes with Barnaby Joyce on everything else. Hard to rate any person of science who let's ideology █████ fact.

We are just trying to find a smart person In lnp. It’s hard so cut me a break. Put up a candidate then.

See it’s difficult.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Essential Poll

2PP committed voters
ALP 49
LNP 45
Undec. 6

 

[Crankyhawk]

Are the ALP states fairing better?

Our hospital AV offload has improved last few days, was struggling at parts of the peak but is doing better. May not be true of other vic hospitals (recently one hospital decided to tell AV to reload patients and send on to my hospital because they were “dangerously busy”). Though I’m not sure on their definition they said they had 28 patients in the waiting room idk if they mean 28 waiting to be seen, or just 28 in the waiting room all up either way something we are used to at my hospital but this other hospital might have a resilience issue despite having double the number of inpatient beds and more medical staff in their ED.

 

[Gough]

I think the exact opposite case can be made. Younger generations did grow up with the internet, so they’ve never learned to critically analyse what they see on it.

For my grandkids, the internet and the world are one and the same.

Pre internet it's difficult to imagine people like Joe Rogan or Alex Jones being anything more than perpetual nuisance candidates in local elections. The internet has allowed these sort people to bloom though.

 

[Crankyhawk]

She has done her share of defending Morrison.

As required by being on the other side. We are seeking evidence of intelligence in a barren place.

 

[Crankyhawk]

The “leftest leader since Whitlam” is laughable by Morrison.

Shorten policies were clearly more left wing (in terms of cgt rollback and changes to franking credits). Scomo makes up stuff and no one says ****ing boo.
