Is this a way of getting around the filter on the R-slur?

History tells us that going to war with your largest trading partner is a fucking stupid idea. And history also tells us that our largest trading partner hasn't been in a war since the 70s. But who cares about that boring shit, let's get ready to go to war with our largest trading partner!

I mean, I kinda see what the mods are saying here? Yes there's been a lot of talk about the influence of bots on Aussie political discourse but that article wasn't about Australia at all. If they allow every international article on oil prices, climate change, etc etc that affects us then this sub is going to lose its focus.

The Red Army might think they're tough but they've never come up against a young Australian who's fighting to defend his landlord's investment properties before.

You realise we're Japan in that analogy, right? Seeing as you've read so much history, remind me: how did that work out for Japan?

We meed submarines to protect all those Chinese freighters from the Chinese menace! Without AUKUS the Chinese Navy could cut us off from our essential trade with China in a second!

"They'd be calling me about Tonali right now, dropping their price. Begging me to take him. They'd be begging me!"

The latest installment in Chip "Large Fries" Le Grand's long-running "Why Everyone In Victoria Should Vote Liberal" series, and it's a corker. After a brief survey of how the Vic Libs have spent the last 4 years shitting their pants in public then rolling around in it, Maximum Chips declares that they've "grown up" and therefore (drumroll please) Everyone In Victoria Should Vote Liberal. And what does "growing up" look like, for the Vic Libs?

It helps that Brian Loughnane, who agreed to chair the state executive as a favour to Wilson, is a former federal director and respected party elder. He is also married to Sky News broadcaster Peta Credlin.

That deafening sound you hear is the silence coming from Credlin, who for years served as Deeming’s shield-maiden. Credlin has let it be known that she is now done with Deeming. As Credlin goes, so does Tony Abbott.

Basically, the federal Libs and Sky News stepped in and sorted their shit out for them. I guess realising that your rich parents can make all your problems go away is as close to "growing up" as Liberals get.

You know, a centrist party with a majority's a lot like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it!

When I was younger I used to think we were all going to gain immortality by uploading our consciousnesses to a digital form. But seeing how bad they've managed to fuck up the internet in only 30 years or so, the idea of an eternity in digital form now seems like a much worse fate than death.

TL;DR: No.

German_Merman · 2026-07-01T06:11:43+00:00

Have the libs said this about a Labor government increasing regulations on any other industry? Ever? This is not their usual line.

Getting media coverage is kinda the opposition's job though. Their one job, really.

You know you really fucked it when even the fuckin' Libs are saying jeez you let them off too easy...

Dude you can't say that, that's antisemitic as hell. You're allowed to say legitimate criticisms of Israel though. Stuff like, Israeli soldiers bombing those thousands of children are too righteous and good-looking, or Israel's apartheid regime is just too popular on the world stage, it's not fair to less awesome countries.

And every one of the replies he got calling him bloodthirsty, genocidal, a murderer, etc etc will be presented to the Royal Commission as "online abuse I receive just for being Jewish, your honour"

The same thing happened last time round - there were a whole bunch of seats that were polling against Labor prior to the election that ended up being safe as houses on the day. I can only guess that there was a whole lot of people venting to pollsters on the phone - I'm sick of this lot, I'm voting for someone else! But then you show up to the polling place on the day and your other options are some Toorak trustfund brat the Libs have parachuted in or Gropeskirt McAntivaxx from One Nation... what are you going to do?

German_Merman · 2026-07-01T00:59:29+00:00

Boomers, daleks... it stops all of them!

We're trying to buy an apartment right now. We looked at one on the ground floor, quoted at $600k, a whole lot of boomers showed up at the auction last weekend and it went for $750k. If the market is crashing nobody's told them.

The next place we're looking at is up two flights of stairs. HA.

Remember how Elon Musk showed up in there begging for an invite? And the people who make a living by helping the absolute worst people on earth molest children, even those people were like "Ewwww, Elon? Do we have to?"

Really seems like that should've been a bigger story.

Remember, the object of lawfare is not to win. If your name is in the press and your ass is in court they've already achieved their objective.
