The SA Libs are polling behind ON so it’s quite possible they will be obliterated

I think that you will find Angus Taylor endorsing Islamaphobia and all things antiMuslim. Let the Isis brides rot in Syria despite them being Australian citizens. So no points to score there. The SA Liberals constant internal bloodletting and proven corruption lets them down

The Liberal brand in SA is just toxic, 4 leaders in 4 years

Hurn is worried she will lose her own seat in the Barossa Valley, frightened of losing votes to ON, so fence sitting as she hopes to stay on the political gravy train for another 4 years. Dog whistle politics from Hurn

When you trying to take the freedom out of government information

Lack of bombs 💣 in the 2nd Iraq war saw the US have to raid military magazines of WW2 bombs, dumb iron because they quickly ran out of smart guided bombs. I believe the same would happen with artillery shells if the Pentagon stupidly decided to launch a ground war

Price of an imperial pint of beer 🍺 in Australia

Just a comparison, a Kiwi would need $NZ21 to buy an Australian pint of draught beer

Saddam even tried chemical weapons against Iran and still did not win his stupid attempt to invade

The price of a pint 🍺 of beer over the bar in a NZ pub

No idea, haven’t been to NZ since 2008

The exchange rate against the Aussie dollar 💵 is incredible at the moment, $1AU to $1.19NZ

Hope is that it would become Trumps Bay of Pigs

Keating proposed a GST long before Howard who at the time bitterly opposed a GST type tax as typical of Labor’s high tax policies. Howard denied contemplating a GST before introducing it without a mandate

Victim impact statements are a legitimate input for the sentencing deliberations, “character references” by uninvolved individuals who haven’t suffered any impacts from the offending aren’t and have now been excluded

The NSW Premier tried the same stunt before the Newcastle and Sydney writers weeks, their boards didn’t fold to political pressure and their events went ahead. The Bendigo event has resisted the Jewish lobbies efforts to cancel Grace Tame

Massive difference between a cheap Chinese lithium battery pack in a e-scooter and a large community lithium iron phosphate battery loaded with tech and onboard extinguishers to ensure there are no thermal runaways. A practical example of disinformation blocking renewables

It’s about half the price, even with Trumps stupid tariffs. A yearling which sells for $US5K in the US can be bought for $AU3K in Australia. The math is inescapable, and has been pointed out, Australia beef 🥩is a top quality product for a bargain basement price

Clive Palmer has dumped a $100mill with nil effect on voters, Gina isn’t taking any notice however. Our electoral and voting system has all the integrity that the US system lacks. Let’s just see the results of the SA election in March before we rush to judgement

Grace doesn’t have a filter, that’s just her neurodivergence, but that’s not a criticism, we see her raw honestly every time she speaks. She has found her voice and won’t be silenced again by anyone

And now a bomb 💣 threat against the PM. Telling people to dial back the hate isn’t working

Given the the PM had to close his electorate office to keep his staff safe from the constant hate and vandalism, I’m not sure that the PM could be kept safe at a town hall meeting. And if the sole aim is to heckle and yell at him I’m not sure there’s much point

Record low unemployment in SA, and the Liberals want to increase unemployment ? This is just as dumb as Angus Taylor saying the Libs were going to increase taxes before last years federal election

It was only ever about reducing budget deficits and transferring capital investment to the private sector and letting them take the blame for rapid cost of service increases

Australia can’t deport Australian born citizens or deny them entry. If they have violated laws against participating in international conflicts then the courses will deal with them. The LNP let them return but now are trying to conflate it into an issue

Until the corporate laws change to make phoenixing a crime which punishes companyy directors, corporate bankruptcies will remain a tactic to avoid paying creditors

Australians rejected and indigenous voice to parliament but there hasn’t been the same pushback against an Israeli voice to our government, at least indigenous folk have always lived here

TY Frankie 💙💙
Happy Friday everyone 😊

Necessary waste for Angus is gifting consultancy contracts without tendering, pork barreling projects to Liberal seats, creating dubious tax breaks for groups seen as their “base”, tax cuts to the already wealthy, etc

Those post WW2 European migrants that built the basic infrastructure that we still benefit from today we vilified and mocked every day when they were out in public, called wogs and told to learn English or go back where they came from, assimilate to or “Australian” culture. The cycle is on repeat

Every Prime Minister has had the same benefits, the ex PMs that you love so much still have free travel, a few office, free admin support, a very generous super income with no means test, no ban on taking on lucrative consultant work related to their former portfolios. Just wake up
