Rest in piss LNP. Conservative parties will never change for the betterment of all, only the vested few. The hardships women face in politics are integral to the conservative mindset and wont be defeated from inside. Join/create better parties if you want equality for all.

Yeah the problem now is fuckin one nation. So many people with short memories who refuse to think critically and just want to be arseholes.

The way the Greens are viewed for basically giving a fuck about people and things is terrible. We’re dumb as absolute fuck we are

Apparently initial polls show a big swing amongst conservative men away from One Nation back towards the coalition after Well Done Angus took the leadership.

So the thing that might stop Pauline Hanson's racist agenda is misogyny. I'm honestly not sure which side to cheer for here.

Which would you rather eat, a shit sandwich or a poop milkshake?

Apparently initial polls…

Are they? Well there you go. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.

You don't have to eat either. The ALP will continue in government for the foreseeable future.

So doing better than those parties isn’t a high bar.

This Labor government aren’t really that great. The housing policies among others are dogshit and pretty much everything else is expected from a ‘progressive’ workers party.

Labor suck, to be honest. Lucky Country Labor. Being better than the opposition we have is no compliment.

Where did I compliment Labor?

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It’d be fair to say your comment implies we aren’t eating shit under Labor, which unfortunately for many isn’t true.

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not at all. They specifically played it off as a choice between the Coalition and One Nation, I'm saying that's irrelevant because neither will have any power in the coming years.

As much as I dislike the teals for similar reasons to disliking the Liberals, they at least have some semblance of care and (identity) equality.

They hate workers, but at least they think climate change is happening and that women and LGBT+ people deserve rights.

Would be good for them to fill that niche in AusPol.
