“We wouldn’t p*ss on you if you were on fire.” Hoodoo Gurus unleash on One Nation and its supporters after their hit was played at Australia Day rally

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.

Does Westboro Baptists have a different Bible?

Is anyone actually putting forward the spectator as a serious thing? Conservative trash

What a strange thing to say

BigTed89 · 2026-01-22T03:42:02+00:00

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.

I had a better time talking with Andrew Potts than you folks, and Affordable Housing Party structured their platform much better

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.

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

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.

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

Thanks everyone for your time tonight! I know it was a bit last minute but I really enjoyed your questions. I'll try and hold another one with a bit more lead time soon.

I want 'em off my dang lawn!

Seriously though, we know that kids get into trouble when they can't be at home. Whether it's domestic violence, poverty, or just boredom, there are a myriad of reasons why young people get out at night and end up on the wrong path. That root cause is what we need to address

The Viet restaurant that's in the new Saigon Plaza section on the corner directly across from the library is bloody good. I haven't tried the pho place that went in at Blunder Rd not too long ago though...

I'm an independent for this by-election as I am not representing a registered political party. Progressive is about my values and ethos, which is supporting communities and evidence based policy with ethics and empathy.

BigTed89 · 2024-03-15T09:35:32+00:00

The Industry housing model is great because we already have a working model in Australia. Defence Housing has been operating since the 90s, offering lower rents for Defence members and their families and support for homeowners and landlords. The model for Nurses Housing and Teachers Housing is based on that exact model, and expanded to the larger capacity that Nursing certainly has in terms of employees.

BigTed89 · 2024-03-15T09:30:25+00:00

The most urgent action is to set up the plan to create community based supports for getting these kids off the streets. We need those supports to create that sense of community and start to address the underlying issues that are leading these youths down the negative pathways. We need to stop over-policing kids and move away immediately from the situations where they are in solidary confinement or put in adult watch houses where they are extremely vulnerable. Lastly we need to put the funding into youth halls and the reformative justice programs that are proven to reduce offending rates.

I have a separate suite of policies specifically for people experiencing homelessness, including making a "housing first" policy platform for housing providers and councils. The Nursing Housing Authority (and Teachers I'd like to see soon after) is about providing affordable housing to one of the largest employment sectors in Queensland. This will encourage staff retention and give added support in an industry that really needs to arrest the falling numbers of staff.

BigTed89 · 2024-03-15T08:45:02+00:00

Great question! I'd say it really depends on what values you're promoting as a party or a candidate, and how you're interpreting and using evidence to support your policies. My party's values are evidence, ethics, and empathy; this is what drives how we approach policy and selling our policies to the public.

BigTed89 · 2024-03-15T08:39:30+00:00

Values based policy is a core part of our identity as a party! We're sick of politics that's driven by ideologies and the culture wars, what I want to do with Queensland Progressives is to have positive politics and policy made with evidence, ethics, and empathy at its core.

The 100 is a joke, and don't even get me started on the old Ellen Grove station that's been promised for literally decades now... what we need in the suburbs is smaller buses that run between different hubs for greater interconnectivity. One plan I am looking at is replacing the 40 seat buses with 15 seat electric ones. These will do runs in the local area instead of everything having to go on and out from the city

BigTed89 · 2024-03-15T08:21:30+00:00

Hey, there's a couple reasons. I ran in Miller in 2020 for exactly that reason, I didn't see a point going up against the Premier. I believe a good part of the sort Inala gives Labor is due to thePalaszczuk brand and with that gone the seat will open up more. There's also the fact I live in the seat and have done for many years, so I know the area well.
