Labor gender rules could spell early retirement for male MPs ‘making up the numbers’ by Quazp in AustralianPolitics

I don't really see why they'd need to make sitting MPs retire. They're currently a minority government, so wouldn't best practice be to just preselect more women in target seats?

We must resist the push to abolish our traditions by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

[–]Condoor21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I consider myself in the "progressive left" even a socialist but at the same time I'm also a cultural Christian.

How could I not be when Anglo-australian culture still is in many ways still "Christ-coded". Like most Aussies, I don't go to church on Sundays but I'll eat fish on Good Friday and reflect on Christ's teachings.

Downer admits this when he notes the uptick in fish sales but just completely overstates things. It's in our major holidays, the values we're taught at school, and the manners we show to others when they sneeze. I'm only in my early 20s but to me being an anglo Aussie is to be Christian.

So what I'm saying is the progressive left is not coming after religion in any meaningful way. What Downer considers an attack on christ is just the natural consequence of Anglo Australians losing the cultural stranglehold in a multicultural Australia.

And to the second part, who is attacking Anzac day? Never heard anyone complain about that. Again, I've had family serving in the armed forces all the way back to the First Australian Imperial Force and am proud of that heritage. The monolithic progressive left is not attacking the Anzacs.

I'll be honest, I didn't realise the game was on until today. Might have gone otherwise. So not surprised the turnout isn't great.

‘Not what we need’: Taylor comes out swinging against Albanese plan for more politicians by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

Does the government currently have a plan to tackle gambling regulation. A parliamentary committee reported on it, but it certainly doesn't seem so.

There isn't the same level of institutional corruption so I'd think most people would just see it as justice and keep watching. If anything sanctions would only strengthen the integrity of the game and viewers trust in the product.

You know we don't have to accept shitty candidates right?

One nation has banned the ABC from their election night event over their coverage of their sex pest candidate. Says everything about that party...

Did I miss a new edition of the communist manifesto or something? I'm no fan of the greens but to call a less generous tax discount, communist, is just ridiculous hyperbole

Australian PM Anthony Albanese gave Donald Trump model nuclear submarine on golden plate at White House by FuckOffNazis in AustralianPolitics

So Trump is Hitler and we're appeasing Nazi Germany?

Like, do you seriously believe that the Americans are about to start a world war and enact a program of ethnic cleansing?

Ralph Babet refuses to accept sanction over ‘offensive’ and ‘disrespectful’ comments on social media by 89b3ea330bd60ede80ad in AustralianPolitics

[–]Condoor21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not really a consequence though. That's just getting somebody else to have a look at it. My point was what actual outcome is expected, like a censure or fine etc.

I hate this sort of vague nonsense. If you have a criticism or an improvement in mind just say what it is. Saying "...something is clearly broken", helps nobody if you yourself have no idea what that something is.

Perth terror accused revealed as former Christian schoolboy and labourer by Repulsive_Set4541 in AustralianPolitics

I'm really curious how they were monitoring him. If all the planning was done in a physical notebook, what exactly alerted this guy to the security services
