I reckon if this was an ALP Govt, I would be able to hear about this in places other than the Guardian and ABC (not leftist news, just actual news which matters to people). Costello will definitely keep this out of SMH/Age and Murdoch's staff probably just couldn't understand it.

Whatever Albanese does, it will be painted as either too much or too little by the mainstream media.

Albo should just focus on what he's doing. Quietly, continuously pointing out the governance failures of Morrison. Doesn't need to yell, doesn't need confected zingers. People have been paying attention this election cycle. It'll be an election on substantive issues people have been paying attention to. A few simple messages:

1.Pay is not rising as fast as inflation - Number 1 point. Play the footage of Corman saying that's what the LNP want. - Hip pocket. Bring an element of fear to it like: inflation is taking off because of Govt frivilous spending, interest rates are about to go up too, yet wages are staying flat because of LNP policies. Fear of hip-pocket is the biggest winner, always.
2.The Govt wasted lots of money on Jobkeeper and didn't order vaccines fast enough. - Health and Safety -
3. Hating women and corruption - goes to character, your honour.

rinse and repeat.
leaven with non-controversial policy announcements and a few spending commitments that grab a headline and are positive future facing etc.

strategy requires a domestic focus though.

Which is LNP policy (as stated by Mathias Corman)
 
What’s anti-intellectual is characterising scientific theory as “facts”.
Your complete and utter misunderstanding of what constitutes a theory in science.

(Fwiw i think they should find a new name for it as its misleading to most people)

What most people have in their head as to what constitutes a theory is actually a hypothesis.

By the time a hypothesis becomes a theory there is a metric funktonne of evidence to support it.

To move from a theory to a fact is near impossible - most scientists would say impossible.

Thats because scientist try to always keep an open mind so if new data comes in that disagrees with the theory, they are ready to assess it objectively rather than dismiss it out of hand.


By the time something has enough data to be a theory, thousands of published, peer reviewed papers have been written on the subject and while this system isnt flawless, its the best system weve got and almost every single scientific advance we have is based on this system. Even people who buck the system and invent something out of the box that defies current knowledge are only adding to that knowledge and shifting things a small amount compared to the vast knowledge bank that lead to that discovery.

Im just about to buy one of elon musks “dishy’s” this will enable me to have high speed internet and phone communications almost anywhere in the world, taking seconds to set up and let me tell you - what hes dont to get this far is an amazing feat backed by an incredible collection of theories.

It was front page and 2/3 page in the Age this morn as I waited for my morning coffee.

Scanned the Age website and couldnt' find it.

On SMH, there's a small story half-way down the page, about 10th in the pecking order.

If this were the ALP, it would be all we'd hear about on all forms of media, online and print.

The Herald Sun has a story about how the Ukraine war will hit your hip pocket, but no story about falling wages.

Murdoch is going to shamelessly blame inflation on a war he's been promoting for months, if not years. There are people who will be believing this.

The biggest issue in the coming election is women.

It has not started yet but it will. There will be marches, there will be demonstrations, there will be strikes, and Morrison will lose his sh*t like he always does.

Woman are Morrison’s kryptonite. He has no idea how to deal with them. And there will be millions of them on the streets.
And it will be the likes of Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins at the forefront of them.
Those two will not let people forget

Do you not agree that scientific theories should not be characterised as scientific facts?

It's not my misunderstanding, it's that of the poster to whom I was responding.

Beyond that, I don't intend to engage further on this particular thread. There is only one outcome if I do.

OK... Unfortunately it is your misunderstanding. The general everyday use the word "Theory" gives an impression of an untested idea or hunch. However, and here is the thing.... in science a "Scientific Theory" is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate scientific laws, hypotheses and facts. It is developed by repeatable experiments, measurements and observations. So in science we accept a theory as fact when we can test and repeat the theory with the same results or observations.

Then science needs to do a better job of explaining the difference.

Characterising (to selves even) "theories" as "facts" is simply Orwellian doublespeak.

If "science" wants to merge the meanings of words then it is on science to deal with the ensuing confusion. And they don't achieve that by just saying "you're too dumb to understand".

Now take it to another thread.

Read what I said again most scientists reckon there is no such thing as a scientific fact

Geez, And I thought we'd be discussing some LNP/Scumo policy issues.

Are their any?
 
Credlin is an idiot. Her question to Andrew’s were about 20 minutes long. It was a complete joke - no one knew what the hell she was on about

Yes, she's a ******* who alienated her colleagues in Parliament.

But she's still an aggressive *******.
