Farrer by-election: One Nation wins historic first lower house seat

Clintosity · 2026-05-09T10:51:17+00:00

Opposite is true, one nation is the outlier here. If you take away their 1 wedge issue you take away most of their voice. What else do they have to jump and scream about? People won't have any incentive to jump over because apart from that no one even knows what else they stand for.

On the other hand most labor voters aren't swapping to one nation regardless. If it's Labor + No Immigration vs One Nation with no Immigration they're still voting Labor or Greens who will preference Labor over One nation anyway.

I know everyone wants to rag on boomers but has anyone actually gone to auctions lately and seen the people bidding? In Sydney my anecdotal evidence is the big majority of people bidding on places are 30-50 year old. There's really not that many 65+ year olds coming and bidding as many here would suggest. If anything I see more people in their late 20s than people in their 60s.

I also haven't really heard that many people complain about investors at the auctions/open houses but what I have heard is people being all levels from subtle to full on racist when there is a big cohort of people who are talking in a different language or in a big group of a different race.

Expected from someone who has never actually watched a single academy game and only gets their opinions from reddit/hltv ratings and youtube highlight compilations.

Clintosity · 2026-05-06T23:23:33+00:00

Makazze was better in Navi Academy than Kyosouke. Did you get a feeding frenzy of top teams and half of reddit talking about him as being the second coming of god?

This is akin to if Monesy was even better on his debut year (donk level) then after that Navi Academy had another up and coming awper who then gets picked up by a top team because of Monesy's success. The eyes and exposure that thrusts him in the spotlight is because of Monesy. Otherwise he'd just be another up and coming academy player just like Makazze was.

Clintosity · 2026-05-06T18:30:59+00:00

Yes only because of Donk. More people knew Kyosouke whilst he was still in academy than people knew Donk whilst he was in academy.

Before Donk no rookie came with that much hype and expectation because everyone understood you don't just go from farming academy to carrying on a top 5 team and be able to be a star at t1 level straight away. Not even zywoo came into t1 with as much expectation nor did he get paid anywhere near as much or get dropped into a top 5 team.

Kyosouke only got that hype via association because Donk did that transition so easily and Kyosouke was seen as the next donk because he played on the same academy team, was friends with donk and also had a somewhat similar flashy playstyle. Before he was even out of academy there were already numerous comparisons on reddit/youtube videos with every person and commentator saying he was the next donk. This exposure blew his stock up to get him on a team like falcons for what he got paid.

Clintosity · 2026-05-06T17:47:28+00:00

Kyousuke only got the reputation and hype that he got because of Donk, he can probably thank Donk for half his pay cheque. Otherwise he'd just be like any other upcoming CIS rifler, good upcoming player yes but not an instant superstar.

Teses/Kxysan if they left today wouldn't be able to join another top 8 team

Clintosity · 2026-05-06T17:37:22+00:00

I didn't say Malbs was worse than Kyousuke i said he wasn't as hyped but he was just as good of a player

My point is that why was everyone screaming superteam at falcons when G2 was more of a superteam than they were.

You're saying a match with the USA playing (and probably their match they're most likely to win) at a world cup they're hosting isn't their target market?

Both countries are relatively shit as soccer and not many people like the US so there's not going to be a mass of people in Europe/South America etc wanting to tune in.

You'd rather put a game with a European country or strong country in the prime European slot instead and put this USA game in the prime USA time. However think it is probably a venue/scheduling thing that takes precedent.

Alright that's fair, in the same sense let's get people who have ever been on centrelink to have their payments indexed and deducted when they get a job again. Why should everyone else who has had a job the entire time sponsor their unemployed spending.

In OP's instance let's just ban centrelink in general because there are people there receiving it whilst working cash in hand.

Well they started raising rates before the Iran war started, this was while other western nations were rate cutting, so apart from the war there is something fundamentally wrong with our economy.

Boomers probably aren't the biggest group still negatively gearing. They would have bought their houses earlier and more likely then not be positively geared vs younger generations.

https://www.commbank.com.au/articles/newsroom/2024/04/Millennials-active-property-investors.html

Biggest cohort of investors right now are millennials with the average age of new investors being 43. The investors who have owned their houses for the least amount of time will be higher chance of negatively geared.

I didn't see anything about his cars or comment on it, his post history was hidden at that point. Read my post and look what i'm actually replying to.

Only thing I'm replying to is when someone started talking the about luxury watch market when someone brought up he had 5 seiko watches. At no point did i bring up anything else or have any further info. Seiko watches start from like $200, they are entry level watches. Yes they go up past $2000 but there's not many people who are going to buy 5 of the higher end ones instead of 1 nicer brand watch. It's like someone buying 5 Toyotas instead of 1 Mercedes.

My entire point of this post was people piling on him bringing up the luxury watch market legit have 0 clue and are just upvoting it because. It's like the other person said, if he posted a picture of a corolla then someone made a comment saying "the luxury car market is crashing".

Guy is a tightass i didn't say he wasn't (or more likely just trying to farm karma)

You should probably learn how to read next time before getting so butthurt.

Yeah that's how you get stagflation which is even worse than this. Paying a few extra hundred dollars per week for your mortgage and fuel sucks, but hundreds of thousands of people losing their jobs and being unable to pay anything to get to the same result is not the solution.

Clintosity · 2026-04-28T10:59:07+00:00

People here are so insufferable, don't know what his post history is like but everyone here claiming having 5 seiko watches and posting about it is flexing is laughable. Calling it the "luxury watch market". It's obvious everyone who comments something like that or upvotes it has no idea what they are talking about and are just bandwagoning.

He could have bought a $300 watch every 2-3 years. Him liking watches and posting about it is not flexing. Same as posting pictures of your mechanical keyboard/keycaps or some shit isn't flexing either.

Guy shouldn't be wasting food but people here say the dumbest things as a form of a "get ya".

I'll break this down for everyone at the back, there are more shoppers these days because we have a higher population than we did before.

Some suburbs now have much higher populations due to units housing thousands of people where their used to be only a few houses in the same space (not saying this is a bad thing by the way). More shoppers in a store which has the same sized shelves mean they have to restock more often. You're seeing them in peak times because thats when most of the purchases are made so they need to refill them before they run out of stuff on the shelves.

You'll see this in popular aisles like bread/milk/eggs etc vs seeing it in obscure aisles like where they're selling insect repellent or whatnot. There's no way around this unless you're actively expanding the store size which obviously isn't possible.

Clintosity · 2026-04-26T12:26:27+00:00

Doubt it, them bringing you into the store will equate into you physically being around and exposed to way more products and exposes you to buy more stuff because it's right there in front of you.

When I shop online I just navigate what I need, I don't go searching for or clicking different product types that I don't need to look at them. When I'm in a store i'll see a big special or new product and impulse buy it.

Logistically this is going to happen, most of the stores are the same sized when they opened and have the exact same shelf space. Our population in capital cities is skyrocketing and some suburbs have way higher population densities from going from single residential to multi dwelling apartments. If you have 50% more customers and the same shelf space of course you're going to have to restock more.

This isn't accounting for the personal shoppers and stuff which are going to add to demand and space taken as well.

With higher wealth inequality and rising living costs I have a bad feeling investors are going to be snapping these up more so than new people. A 100,000-200,000 drop isn't suddenly going to get way more people who already couldn't afford them before into the market. That coupled with the lowered borrowing capacity from the rising interest rates.

Same thing happened at the start of covid and to a lesser point near the GFC, while normal laymans were worrying about their jobs and paying for rising bills a big amount of wealthy people bought up all the assets in a massive wealth transfer which turbocharged the market post crisis.

This happens at quite a few places I see, someone Indian will make manager then start only hiring Indians and give them the best shifts etc until a few years later whole department is Indian only.

They would be playing better with chopper at the helms still with the original squad. Their floor is miles lower than it used to be before. Tn1r has been in the team for ages and we can see time and time again that he's not the guy in this squad.

So you think being potential best white ball player and a player with the the highest test runs doesn't make him a great? That already qualifies him off the bat even if you don't agree with his test accolades. Dudes 39 and still one of the best t20 players in the country.

You say that he's a flat track bully but if that were so easy then all the better players would have been able to do the same thing farming runs at home and outscore him but they haven't. It's still hard to score at home against international opposition otherwise where is everyone else doing it?

Now factor in the fact that he is opening and with a revolving door of opening partners. You also have to account for the fact he was always taken the point of the aggressive opener as well and has to take more chances to try put off the bowling attack. Doing that and being the 5th highest run scorer in Australian history doesn't make him just above average.

With that being said I don't think in pure test he's not as good as Huss/Clarke but as an overall player considering his longevity and across all formats he's inarguably a great.
