wut?Practice what you preach, turn the other cheek
Yeah I'm thinking maybe Labor has finally learnt that lesson. Hope so.They literally just throw s**t from the sides while they wait for Labor to inevitably implode (with a little encouragement and prodding from uncle Rup)
Voters revolting against culture wars more and more and this muppet doubles down.
Good times for labor
You still around Achy ? I thought you may have moved on by now.
How?Long term this is excellent for the LNP.
How so? To shore up support from their band of rusted-on culture warriors, already dwindling through natural attrition due to their advanced age?Long term this is excellent for the LNP.
It's all very well to wage a culture war in a post Olympic glow with rivers of gold to handout and a cricket team that routinely spanked all comers. The Libs really need to let go of John Howard.How so? To shore up support from their band of rusted-on culture warriors, already dwindling through natural attrition due to their advanced age?
I think this most recent election showed that the culture war trick ain't working with enough swinging voters any more.
Look how badly the Katherine Deves thing backfired.
Bandt just rendered him irrelevant
How ?
At least on climate / Emissions, i should sayHow ?
I am hearing more about the Greens than I am about the LNP in my assorted scrolling and hearing snippets of news at home. Mostly on climate but could mean we'll move from an ALP vs LNP to ALP vs GRN in a few elections time.
I am probably wishful thinking tbf
Maybe now the ALP will officially acknowledge that the reason the Greens rejected their CPRS was because they correctly identified it as a useless horseschitte policy that Treasury itself showed would produce zero reductions in emissions for the first 25 years of its operation.Greens finally understanding that even little victories can be a good start.

Guess that's too much to ask. Think how much cleaner we could be by now if the ALP hadn't tried to put one over the entire nation.
And someone not wearing a tie is their avenue of attack in Question Time?
In 2022?
How rooted in the past is this mob.
(Rhetorical Question - given they are still reaching out to John Winston Howard for advice we all know the answer).

Which part of "that Treasury itself showed would produce zero reductions in emissions for the first 25 years of its operation" are you having trouble understanding?They were never going to reinvent the bloody wheel in one single instance.
The Greens got shitty and instead of aiming for improvement, they sided with the coalition of all goddamn parties.
The Coalition was able to use this as one of the drivers for change at the election and then nothing was done for 9 years.
If you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas. The Greens shot themselves in the foot massively.
Labor was not free of criticism at all.
But surely they could have done more than side with the guys who have shown themselves to be so adverse to any real attempt.
This is why today was important. Brandt and the party realise that this is just the first step. But an important one.
