Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
One Nation just got slaughtered in WA. Queensland in contrast is the home of Australia's Trump. And Clive Palmer. And Kevin Rudd. And all the other nutjobs.
How's that feel? Actually, don't answer that. Look out! Fluoride!

I... don't know how that makes QLD more conservative, but I will acknowledge your attempt to swiftly shut down the conversation.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
I've said it before and I'll say it again. WA is regular conservative. Queensland is nutter conservative. Different conservative not more or less. I'm not using the term nutter to mean more conservative, I'm using to mean nutter. Someone like Hanson wouldn't have support in WA. Thank fuck.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
The overwhelming majority of QLD conservatives are Nationals and Liberals supporters. Don't make it out like it's something that it isn't.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
Love ya Madmya. You know exactly what I mean but wander off on random tangents where nutter doesn't actually mean nutter (lol) and One Nation apparently isn't a force in QLD politics because they're not an absolute majority (lol).
What pedantic and deliberate misinterpretation will you possibly come up with next?

Random tangents? They have zero seats in QLD parliament. I'm not sure if you can talk tangents when you're off with the butterflies.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
Back on topic now that Madmya understands that nutter means nutter and nothing else, the Libs copped an absolute smashing here in WA. Antony Green called it after 1.5 hours of counting. Current projection is Libs 10, Nationals 5, ALP 36, in doubt 8. Holy shit.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
Oh and the new Labour Premier is of course introduced to the stage to the sound of ACDC in Rockingham, arguably the most bogan suburb of Perth (and my home town!) haha perfect.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
Technically speaking Rockingham isn't my home town either as I wasn't born there.
I thought I'd throw that one out there myself as you wouldn't know that.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
Isn't there some kind of weird-arsed tension between the Libs and Nationals in WA anyway though? I don't think it's the first time one hasn't preferenced somebody else over the other...Ambrose Burnside wrote:It's the WA state election today. Most noteworthy news nationally I guess would be the preference deal between the Libs and One Nation and the backstabbing of The Nationals.

In a contrast to Queensland, support tops 50 per cent in all of Western Australia’s electorates, including those covering remote areas.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
These last few weeks have been awful. While I am pretty much in a bubble when it comes to this... as in.. I don't really know anyone who would be voting no - This has affected me a lot more than I could have imagined. I am in a general state of low level rage and fury at the stupidity and false shit that is being spread by the NO campaign. Facts, stats, research, history.. none of it applies.. It's fucking horrible.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
A few of things rile me up:
1) The way the government bypassed Parliament to fund this. I feel it's a dangerous precedent.
2) Related to the above. This is a $122 million dollar internal Coalition power struggle.
3) The right pushed hard for this, that it had to a public debate, politicians couldn't actually do their jobs and legislate etc. Then shit the bed when large organisations like Qantas and the AFL joined said public debate. Hypocrites.
4) The right know their arguments make no sense so try to make the debate about everything except marriage equality.
5) I fear the left may get sucked in by that and we'll see a repeat of Brexit and Trump
6) The anguish the gay community have to go through. Especially when peeps who were always going to vote no have the audacity to claim bullying by the gay community as the reason they will vote no. Fuck's sake. I feel like bashing them over the head with a history book, but that might be misconstrued as bullying

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
I don't have skin in either game but the bullying by the Yes campaign is next level retarded. My mate who is not political at all goes to me last night that he simply couldn't believe how they were behaving, doing exactly what they said the No campaign was going to do.
I don't understand why they didn't write the fucking legislation first so that everyone could see what protections were put in as these are important but no instead the gov goes oh don't worry we'll put it all in there, like we all trust what the gov comes up with. Just remmeber lots of people who vote no or choose to won't be doing it because they disagree with gay marriage they will be doing it because they don't know what the final bill will have and have other concerns, just like the republic when the gov had to show their hand first and the legislation was a fucking horror show.

Re: Up the Mighty Liberals! #inmalcolmwetrust
The whole damn thing from start to finish is absolutely abhorrent. Every Australian should be absolutely fucking furious for the reasons GCF and AB have outlined above and some. I know I am. Absolutely shameful behaviour across the board.
I'll list everything wrong with this later. There is a lot.
