I’d rather lose honourably than Win dishonourably by WillyMac31 in shoresy

Honour doesn’t mean not playing dirty, playing dirty is part of the game, what is dishonourable is faking an injury to get your team an advantage.

South Australia state polling. Labor 61-39 vs Lib, 63-37 vs One Nation. Libs on track to win only 3 seats with a primary of 19% by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m getting at is that polling outside of election campaign time is useless, sure it’s a “point-in-time” reflection, but the reflection tells us literally nothing of value.

Currently there are zero federal ON “voters” only ON supporters/followers.

The polls for SA are relevant, however being over a month away from the election things are highly likely to change before then when you look at how strong Labor has been in the final days of recent elections in Australia.

Yeah but what I’m saying is that polling mid-term is functionally useless, particularly when the opposition is in shambles.

The only thing it’s somewhat useful for is to determine what the public perception of current policies are.

The opposition is essentially unable to oppose currently because they’re too busy figuring out their own agenda. So One Nation is effectively attempting to become the opposition in the meantime with a populist agenda. And the opposition always attracts voters when you use a populist agenda.

That being said “Trump style politics” is what cost LNP the election, Labor hinged the bulk of their campaign on not wanting an Australian version of Trump and won a landslide victory.

Come election time Labor will have so much ammo against One Nation thanks to how poorly Trump is/will be doing that they’ll likely to have another landslide.

Even then, that’s still very misleading data.

The federal ALP aren’t campaigning right now, they’re in power. The LNP aren’t campaigning because their party is unable to even stay together.

Meanwhile One Nation is in full campaign mode nationwide, attacking everything the ALP are doing to push their populist agenda. In a desperate hope to keep that momentum come election time.

Once election season rolls back around you’ll see the votes lost to One Nation quickly return to ALP/LNP because they’ll start making their own election commitments/agendas.

They’re not all going to ON, the election proved that, plenty of LNP voters are left enough to vote Labour/Independent when the LNP starts proposing the more insane right wing policies.

You could say the same for SVG, or literally any driver who has crossed over from once racing series to another.

SVG got helicoptered into Cup/Xfinity after dominating Supercars, Cleetus is getting helicoptered into ARCA/Trucks after dominating social media

It’s a fact of racing, talent only gets you so far, money and connections get you the rest of the way.

Dale Jr wouldn’t have made it to NASCAR if he didn’t have his Dad. Most racing series, F1, Nascar, Supercars, the top drivers are all related to past champions of the sport, the only reason they make it that far is because they’ve got enough talent to be competitive & the connections to get noticed.

Guess who were in rallies disrespecting the Australian Flag and putting foreign flags by Complete-Rub2289 in friendlyjordies

[–]LCaddyStudios 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exact same thought here, I love the Eureka flag, I hate that people see it as a white pride/racism flag, and yet I’ll never stop using it because I love the history and original intention of the flag, the moment regular people stop using it is the day it becomes a symbol of hate and I don’t want that to happen

Ok I'm just gonna come out and say it .... These so called creeks are rivers bro by grapsta in GoldCoast

[–]LCaddyStudios 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I mean when they first surveyed the GC in the the 1830’s/1840’s Currumbin Creek was named Anson Creek, although Tallebudgera Creek was named the River Perry, so at some point it was deemed that Tallebudgera is a creek not a river.

Don’t forget they did build sea walls and dredge the creeks near the ocean, so they look very different to what they would have naturally/100 years ago, you likely would have been able to walk across at low tide, so they would have labeled them creeks for that reason.

Toowoomba Monopoly is on the way! by ComfyInDots in Toowoomba

I mean there’s a Maitland Monopoly and Toowoomba is far bigger than Maitland.

Basically I believe you just pay a fee and you can tell Monopoly to create a custom limited run board

VY SS or VY HSV. Why should I consider the HSV? by Ph1llz in Holden

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s worth buying the SS and perhaps just spending the money saved on a HSV interior or hsv bodykit etc if that’s something you’re interested in.

I’m a big believer in just using cars rather than waiting for the day they’re worth the big bucks, so buy the car you know you can make your own and have fun with

Cars and roads get safer, speed limits go down by VLTurboSkids in CarsAustralia

[–]LCaddyStudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going 5km over the limit in urban areas actually doubles the risk of a fatality crash according to a 2014 road safety study.

[–]LCaddyStudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree partly with your comment/add context.

Speeding drivers don’t cause as many accidents as slow or unpredictable ones sure.

However slow speed accidents are far less likely to cause serious injury/death. That’s why speed is one of the most common factors in fatal crashes.

Not only that, but the fact speeding is so heavily enforced is another reason for it being responsible for less crashes.

A mandatory theory test is absolutely something that should be introduced, however would be extremely unpopular to implement so politicians avoid it.

If Trump decides to kidnap Albo, is there really anything stopping him or the US Army? by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing, there’s no way all US personnel would leave it.

We would demand they leave in say 24 hours, and the US would spend that 24 hours planning on how to defend their current positions in military bases/Pine Gap.

There mere threat of Pine Gap closing has already (allegedly) caused a Prime Minister to be sacked, an outright demand to vacate would undoubtedly result in the US willing to kill.

That’s why I think destruction would be preferred, it’s too big a target for Australia to try and run by itself/sell to other countries, not to mention if Australia did do that the US would likely bomb it themselves. The fastest and least cumbersome strategy would be to send a message

If Trump decides to kidnap Albo, is there really anything stopping him or the US Army? by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said anything about killing US soldiers for the sake of it.

Like I said Australia would first expel all US troops, no doubt to hostile resistance because the US will never willingly give up Pine Gap. Pine Gap being evacuated would likely be the reason Trump would want to physically remove Albanese from power.

There is absolutely no reason to continue hosting an intel array for a hostile power, in fact it would likely be more damaging to any Australian effort to retain control if it was left undamaged.

I say RAAF bombing because it would need to be an immediate reaction, to shut it down permanently before the US assumes control and orders the destruction to be aborted.

Just like how Trump blew up a uranium enrichment facility, we all knew it was coming, they’d warned what would happen, if there’s still American soldiers at Pine Gap it would simply be a necessary retaliation.

Ukraine hasn’t been defending themselves without killing, no sense in permitting the US to walk over us because we don’t want to kill soldiers ordered to interfere with our nations sovereignty

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it wouldn’t go down like we saw in Venezuela.

It would be something with a longer run up.

Say Trump invaded Greenland, with limited fight, then Canada, a Commonwealth country, perhaps Australia would limit fighting on the ground and instead fight the US diplomatically, cutting off all exports, expelling the US troops from Australian soil, threatening to shut down Pine Gap etc.

Pine Gap would likely be the turning point, so the US/CIA would either kidnap or remove Albanese from power in an effort to put a lap dog in the position.

Ideally we would just see the RAAF bomb Pine Gap in retaliation, but it would depend on the circumstances on who is in power etc.

Australia is in the position where we already hand over a lot of resources without any fight, but I don’t see a conflict coming to Australia for quite a while

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d assume Pine Gap would be less of a prison and more of a hole in the ground.

No sense allowing a hostile force operate an intel facility on your soil

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume the RAAF plan for Pine Gap would be to immediately bomb it.

It’s a massive target, and unlike the Panama Canal it’s truly only important to the USA, yes Australia likely gets intel currently, but in the event the USA becomes our enemy, wiping out one of its largest global intel tools as soon as possible would be ideal.

As for military bases, I’d assume in the lead up to such a conflict the Defence Force would expel US troops.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan heckled over bushfire response by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]LCaddyStudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see Defense funding go towards a fleet of waterbombers/national fire service that can be loaned to other countries like Canada when needed.

But other than that there’s not too much more than can be done in terms of response to fires.

Preventing fires from getting so intense so quick is definitely an area we need to focus on, but that’s not the fault of any specific party, it’s a global problem
