OMFG #Speers on #abc730. No way! Especially with that Downer punce! Followed by #CookingWithCrabbs #KitchenCabinet NO THANKS! #auspol @abcnews is ROCK BOTTOM!

while I respect the no campaign for the Voice, The Vote on #October14 in my view is a 100% upside for the Yes vote. #AusPol #AusVotes

Are there any #auspol politicians on Mastodon?

If you had formally asked a group of people to recognise your existence and to indicate their willingness to listen to you on matters that affect you, and they refused to do so, what do you think would be a reasonable response to their refusal?

Has anybody found the photos of Karen Andrews being subject to intimidation in Question Time?

I'd have thought it'd be pretty obvious if a male politician was close enough to her to breath on her neck.

For those of you in Adelaide, there is a walk for Yes on Sat 16 Sept at 11.30am, starting in Tarntanyangga (Victoria Square)...

I have a feeling that we're going to learn some lessons. Many of them will be nasty.

There is a cohort which views the Liberal Party (and even the Nationals) as not far enough to the Right. I've seen it argued by the likes of Credlin that the reason Labor won the last election was that the Coalition was too moderate.

"Communist" has become one of the terms that some people spray around to decry anything that they don't like. "Woke" and "virtue signalling" also feature prominently. "Australian values" seems to be trending.

On Saturday, I was bemused to see a bunch of older Australians waving placards about full-term abortions and 15-minute cities in my regional city. They were wearing "Australia One" tee shirts, so I Googled it. 😱
🤔
I really can't think of anything to say.

Even my Samsung phone knows a dodgey message when it sees one :)

Don't know? Find out/ask. It's not hard.

What, exactly, are you likening to the Voice @Neil1808 and how exactly is it like the Voice? Do you see that disingenuous misrepresentation deepens scepticism?

Apparently, 'Yes' supporters are Communists. 😑 I've seen it argued that 'No' supporters are "the good guys", standing up for Australian values. 🦸‍♂️

This is from the Facebook group "The Voice 2023 - Yes or No", the admins of which have, since the writ was issued, grown quicker at shutting down anyone who posts anything that doesn't support the 'No' case.

@DropBear @auscandoc @BlahBlah @mackayim2022

Yes. You say you want an idea that has failed repeatedly to be put in the constitution!

Do you understand my scepticism:?

#Auspol #VoiceToParliament

You say that you hope for solutions @Neil1808 while arguing for endless repeats of what has not provided solutions. Do you understand my scepticism?

The images below are from Facebook, so I can't vouch for them, but the story rings true from my experience. The article reportedly appears in today's (11 September 2023) Costello newspapers.

'Yes' and 'No' are different realities, it seems.
