@realbobkatter.bsky.social Bob Katter is a dog. He is supporting the "March for Australia" rally. An event organised by literal neo-nazis.

Bobs grandfather, Assad Khittar, would be attacked by them.

They publicly complain about "More Indians in 5 years, than Greeks & Italians in 100"

Labor doing the dirty work for the NLP.

That's hilarious. Nice.

Dunno if you've tried it, but public transport in Brisbane is fairly shit.

And when buses don't turn up as per timetable - that counts as non-existent.

Cause I'm drunk and wanna go home, but don't wanna walk. The public transport is shit/non-existent. The taxi isn't nearby.

One example of repeated and systematic behaviour.

The issue is irrelevant - as long as it's popular and can be manipulated to build The Party.

And, The Party still has 'Democratic Centralism' as its fundamental organisational principle right?

Hmm, so any normal person would have gone ... 'yeah Castro is (or now was) a raging homophobe - let's be sensitive and not wave his face around a gay rights rally'.

There is something weird and cultish about not doing that.

Every protest/rally is a recruitment stage. The issue is irrelevant.

You sound offended by history. The past is how we came into the present.

I've down a lot of dirct action events, blockades, etc. There is absolutely a political cohort I no longer trust to work with.

I wish there was a down vote button.

But this does bring back memories of a homosexual equal rights rally I went to ages ago. Someone was selling Green Left Weekly with a massive front page of how great Castro and Cuba was.

I tried to explain how this wasn't appropriate ... eg Castro homophobic

Damn shame I was stuck in Queensland, at home that day.

Hang on, $100,000 between 41 indigenous organisations across the state?

That's about $2440 each.

Don't some LNP corporate fund-raising dinner parties cost around that to attend?

The entrails are still waiting on the pre-polls.

I mean ... it's kinda true. Australians generally are politically liberal.

It's just that "The Liberal Party" is actually freakishly far-right wing ... and not very liberal at all.

Back when I was as lad, we'd dream of fancy bike lanes with visual barriers.

All we had was dirt track for a footpath, if we were lucky.

22-05-2006 MEXICO: Teachers in Oaxaca, Mexico, walked out on strike for the 25th consecutive year. This year was unique because they set up a camp and encouraged students/families to join.

Box ticking is what it's all about.

A good way to maintain the status quo, while getting everyone to wait around shuffling papers.

Ahh, maybe a something, something Federal response to Mabo and new Native Title claims on Federal land then.

Efficiently doing nothing until needed.

Those are cool, cute and creepy. Awesome combo.

IDK ... maybe I want one as an egg cup at breakfast.

So, what's the answer then?

Asking for a Breatharian friend.

Yep.

There is a social/ethical problem when humanity is living in the time of the greatest wealth ever in human history.

And this shit is still an issue.

Power corrupts, always.

ALP are far too disciplined in their PR white-washing for her to be useful to them.

Shrieking from the otherside works better for Labor optics.

Now that ALP has such a massive majority, do you reckon they'll finally abolish the 'Cashless Welfare Card' for people living in Cape York?

The Greens are the real opposition. They have a genuinely progressive reform agenda and the Senate.

Labor is about the status quo, with a few extra crumbs for propaganda.

This is why Labor is throwing so much mud at Greens. Yet quiet about winning off preferences from the right-wing parties.
