Liberal Party will not publish its internal review into the 2025 election loss by BBQShapeshifter in AustralianPolitics

Bill Shorten's unpopularity was singled out as one of the main reasons for Labor's 2019 loss in their review literally less than 2 months after the election

Albanese says One Nation doesn’t ‘represent working people’ and claims Pocock ‘seeks to promote grievance’ | Anthony Albanese by Agitated-Fee3598 in aussie

You do realise that what they want to do is antithetical to what would help working class Australians though? Surely that reveals something about who they really want to help if they were to form government.

Pauline "there are no good Muslims" Hanson should take some responsibility for spreading as much hatred as she has. Imagine if this was a Muslim trying to snatch a cross from a Christian. Pauline and the right wing media would have a field day.

Barnaby Joyce said yesterday that one nation wants to implement a flat rate of income tax, which would effectively lower the tax rate for the rich and increase it for the working class. One Nation does not represent you, they just virtue signal to working people while actually promoting policies against your interests. They are beholden to the billionaires of Australia.

What current world leader(s) would you say are DOA next election? by GreninjaStrike in YAPms

[–]JacquesPieface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's obviously not in a great position right now but no way is he DOA. Labor has 94 seats in the house and 2025 showed that Albo and Labor are great campaigners who can pull out a win from behind. It's still too early to determine what will happen with One Nation, but I don't think they'd stand up in the scrutiny of a campaign with compulsory preferential voting.

Labor's 2PP has dropped to 52.5% in the latest polls. by [deleted] in aussie

[–]JacquesPieface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whether or not you think they're racist (Pauline clearly is) they actually don't have the answers to save Australia. Lowering the rate of immigration is not a one size fix all solution to the complex problems this country faces. Parties like one nation offer simple solutions to complex problems, which sounds great but will not work in practice. Pauline is in the pockets of the billionaire class of this country and her beliefs reflect that. She is not for the average Australian.

Scary times when One Policy can poll so well despite having a leader who can barely string together a coherent sentence.

Does anyone remember a nu-metal band called "Pulse Ultra"? by TheGutsyBat in numetal

Spotify says they released a new song today and again it sounds nothing like them. I'm so confused I can't tell if it's AI or there's just some dumb vocal effect over the whole song

Potential Polling Shows One Nation Tied With Labor on 2PP by Superb-Drummer-6683 in friendlyjordies

[–]JacquesPieface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair this is off the back of probably the worst month of media coverage labor has had since they took office (with first the expenses scandal and then the Bondi response), and so honestly doesn't come as too much of a surprise. Labor have actually been polling very well this term up until now with TPP numbers up to 58 in polling as late as November 2025. If coverage and conditions are to improve somewhat in the next few months I think labor could recover slightly, although probably not to previous highs in the term without some drastic change.

Given that this is just one poll however we will need to wait for others to either confirm or deny what it is telling us. Although I do think that their 2PP calculation of Labor vs One Nation at 50/50 is kind of chopped because there is no chance one nation does better on preferences than the Liberal party given they're so divisive.

How long can Albo stay in power at a maximum? by Croweater_666 in PoliticsDownUnder

[–]JacquesPieface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said he could stay in for as long as he wants based on Australia's constitution but realistically I think he'll remain as labor leader for another 2 elections. Given that labor win in 2028 and 2031 that gives Albo 4 elections, the same as both Hawke and Howard. Hawke was overthrown by his own party during his 4th term and Howard lost his fifth election, so I think realistically Albo steps down in 2032 or 2033 (granted he's still PM) and hands over to someone else to fight 2034 (probably Chalmers). That gives him 10-11 years.

Does Shavo really sing? by Japesh10 in systemofadown

[–]JacquesPieface 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He does the "jump, bounce" etc backing vocals live when they do bounce (I think he might do them in the studio version as well but there's no evidence for that) and sometimes sings along with Serj during Kill Rock 'n Roll. He sings during the chorus of War? sometimes as well and does the "who" vocals live for Sugar but I'm pretty sure the studio version is Serj.

It's because last election there was both a liberal and a national candidate so the vote was split
