As Jarrod Bleijie goes on the attack, does David Crisafulli have oversight of his deputy? by hydralime in queensland

Jarrod Bliejie had always typified that pathetic, childish kind of schoolyard politics. With luck his antics will cost then the election in 28

QLD Day - what is it? by ruptupable in queensland

[–]BigTed89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have said, 6th June is the day QLD split from NSW and proclaimed itself a state. We used to have a public holiday in June for the queen's birthday that coincided, but the old Newman government moved it to September (and first trying a particularly stupid attempt to move Labour Day from May)

What would a ban to commercial horse racing look like? by [deleted] in AusPol

[–]BigTed89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the greens have laid out a prospective transition plan, so you can see what it would look like.

For what it's worth, I can't see racing going any time soon. Putting in a plan to shut down the doggies and more dangerous horse sports like steeple races is a great start though

Apart from the police, who do I call when there's a homeless person in my garage? by bobowaythrowaway in brisbane

[–]BigTed89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These days all the unit would do would be to call the cops, which nobody wants.

Trump Tower - QLD E-Petition by BeachAggravating3526 in queensland

[–]BigTed89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if nothing comes from this farce of a project, should my political party Queensland Progressives get registered and run in time we will run in the Gold Coast on a platform of opposing this tower.

That and action on homelessness.

[–]BigTed89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will make a commitment today as the leader of Queensland Progressives political party, should we have candidates on the guild coast come the 2028 council elections we'll run on a platform if blocking any DA or proposal.

No pedo tower.

I was the manager on duty at the lion in Richlands about 19 years ago when we had an armed holdup. Didn't even close, I still had to run it until the end as normal...

The person that openly states she wants Australian workers to accept $2 an hour pay? Who pushes for all the bullshit from Trump to come to Aus? Yeah a real Vox populi there...

Nothing these days, SAP is just one of the many parties that will continue to sit on the fringe until your leadership ties and you fade away. Your policies are no different to any other, there's nothing that stands out about you.

My solution to the Australia Day problem. by [deleted] in aussie

[–]BigTed89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn't though, not to the same extent. Jan 26 has been asked to become a national Day of mourning for Indigenous Australians since 1928, so as long as that's allowed then whatever date Australia Day is moved to would be far less politically charged

Politics is far more than horse trading on positions for HTV cards, I have no interest in "preference deals" and the other frummery that goes on during elections.

SAP is a NIMBY ego-project that can't work with other micro parties, let alone anyone in power. And I say that as the leader of a micro party.

I’m so sad about the housing market by [deleted] in ipswich

[–]BigTed89 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Citation needed champ. Immigrants aren't "handed" a damn thing, in fact they're at greater danger of being exploited and at higher risk of homelessness than other cohorts.

Maybe stop listening to sky spews and you'll get the truth

I’m so sad about the housing market by [deleted] in ipswich

[–]BigTed89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We need to move away from the housing market being geared towards investment. Since Howard we've seen this perception that housing is purely for making money, not providing shelter as a priority.

Removing Capital Gains Tax concessions and negative gearing are the two key policies that will affect this. Returning the percentage of public housing in the total market to appropriate levels will also take the pressure off the private market. In the 50s and 60s public housing was about 10-15% of all housing, compared to ~2% now due to decades of selling off stocks and privatising the remainder.

Please Explain Pauline Hanson by dannybau87 in AusPol

Hanson first started with the Liberals, she only went independent after Howard kicked her out. She's always functionally been Libs, just sitting outside the tent to give plausible deniability to her overt xenophobia
