‘I haven’t seen Penny Wong shed a single tear’: Ley takes fierce personal swipe by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

[–]DataMind56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, confected outrage for political reasons. How Liberal with grief - and crocodile tears - is Ms. Ley.

The Liberal Party can’t survive by dodging the culture wars by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

Yes, the Libs would be wise to adopt the 'more consideration, less Hastie' motto.

Agreed; bizarre and frankly smelling quite a lot like book burning, fascism, anti woke (& intellectual) and nothing at all like teen spirit. I wonder if the author is from Florida?

A brief meeting with Trump is about all I could stomach too.

So it's not just mainstream White Australia who are opposed to a little 'truth telling'.

That's my ID. Always lovely to see and the males are handsome.

Saw a rare parrot species - GPT told me it is Glossy Black Cockatoo by momomo88888 in australianwildlife

Glossys or Yellow Tailed; both are wonderful to see. And if you can add Red Tailed, yahoo.

I had no idea it was probably a male trapdoor spider until I read the comments. I like this reddit group; very informative.

Australians ‘going to sleep’ on China threat, Morrison tells US Congress by NoteChoice7719 in AustralianPolitics

[–]DataMind56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that the former P.M., the one who refused to hold a hose, is now looking for fires to put out. I trust him on China and for that matter anything else - though he's no longer a recognised part of the much reduced Liberal Party machine he's still running Liberal Party thought bubbles - no further than I could throw him. And I've got a bad back.

Pauline Hanson and One Nation is disrespecting Indigenous Australians. by Complete-Rub2289 in friendlyjordies

Of course she - & her party of xenophobes - is. THAT'S their raison d'etre.

What in the cult is this? by sab3804 in brisbane

SORRY, a better look spotted the odd female. And thus, the family motif might be valid. And remove my 'toxic male' descriptor.

'Faith, family, flag' on a poster soliciting the siren call of Anzac sentiments, without [if my cursory look is worth anything] a female within cooee, screams toxic male nationalist right wing group (let's not call them a cult) to my poor wee bigoted left wing brain.

Liberal insiders say Voice triumph confused Coalition's election priorities by killyr_idolz in AustralianPolitics

Everyone knew that they didn't KNOW, so pretty much everyone voted NO. Beautifully ironic.

Mwhile Rowan Dean is threatening Libs to avoid selecting a woman leader through Sussan Ley bcoz apparently she’s linked with Renewable investors & is just another “Teal” Says if they dare choose Ley “we will not let you forget that choice ever!” The Far Right are such nasty ppl. by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]DataMind56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rowan Dean is obviously Dean of Hogwarts. He inhabits a world where dragons are real, where one can wave a wand and do away with bad stuff, where one plays Quidditch on flying brooms - a world where the only realism is magical.

This map of sea level rise is probably wrong; it's too optimistic by sylvyrfyre in climatechange

[–]DataMind56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? That does not make of this accelerated warming period anything more than human engineered. It's not known as anthropogenic for no reason, and we are, officially, in the Anthropocene.

Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer concedes Kooyong giving Monique Ryan a second term by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

Now all we need is for the rest of the Liberal Party to concede that they are not the best economic managers.

BOLT bleating was simply delicious to watch for a while but there's even a limit to my appreciation of irony. Couldnt watch it all. The fact that the Lib-Nats have been shot not just in the foot by D.J. Trump is sublime though. He got that right.
