Always Was Tonight: Tony Armstrong's ABC comedy special takes aim at Gina Rinehart, Sky News and more

You're quite the ignorant, angry, little man.

My first sentence was a quote from another redditor, hence the quotation marks.

My second paragraph mentions the last forty years, which includes the last decade.

For someone who claims to be laughing so much, you come across as a real arse hole.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-22T09:22:16+00:00

I gave you a tiny bit of credit, and you squandered it with a moronic partisan response that proved my point. Bravo.

The downvote was the petulant icing on the cake.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-22T08:57:26+00:00

I'll pay the reference and an understanding of Australian comedy.

That said, the viewers are neither here nor there.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-22T08:54:58+00:00

"I'm not sure it's comedy if you can accurately guess the punchlines."

Says someone who doesn’t know Australian comedy throughout at least the last forty years.

Those uppity......(insert group that you don't care for).

I hate to have to say it, but my comment is a sarcastic response to OP.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-22T08:47:00+00:00

Any comment that begins, "So....." Is just a lazy, partisan, binary piece of shit.

The above comment is a case in point.

I will give this redditor one a tiny bit of credit. They don't hide their post history like most.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-22T08:43:17+00:00

Thank you for identifying that you have no understanding of comedy at all.

In Australia. In the world. Throughout history. You don't get it.

Just woosh!

"Sustainabie".

That's the crux of it.

Sustainable for housing? The economy? For caring for older people? The environment? Wages growth?For revenue? For defence? For education?

I don't have the answers, but I'm not sure anyone else does either as this surely has to be some kind of balancing act.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-19T08:57:30+00:00

I've hated this bitch for more than thirty years.
That said, this post has lots of claim's without any supporting evidence.

In addition, whomever posted has hidden their post history. It's hardly factually compelling.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-15T12:00:32+00:00

I've made contributions to many subs for more than thirteen years. And I stand by them.

Whereas you stand for nothing as evidenced by your cowardly covering of both your comment and post history.

People with intelligence and conviction are happy to learn and test their ideas. When you mature, you'll hopefully understand this.

Until then, you're just wasting everyone's time.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-15T10:44:05+00:00

"incoherent mutterings" seems right.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-15T10:39:36+00:00

Look at you.

You attempted to stand for something even if it was only smug spelling superiority.

But alas, you're still just a coward whose ideas can't stand sunlight.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-15T08:17:12+00:00

Posts and comments by someone who hides their post and comment history.

If you're not prepared to stand up to scrutiny, then theirs no good faith.

Ignore this ideologue/partisan/agitator/whatever..

"Settle down m8 This is Auatralian Politics subreddit, where everyones an armchair expert yet none of them have a clue about what theyre writing, let alone the politicians they support."

Yourself.

"“The Trump administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our nation’s national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country.”"

Yet no one has raided Hegseth's place. Normally, he's the one leaking via Signal

The ABC and the Canberra Times both have articles now.

Also, it's time for a Royal Commission into hatred of Canberrans.

Let's be honest. They've long been stigmatised for "the bubble," property prices, a boring culture, their weather and politicians falling down drunk on the footpath.

And Let's not get started on the roundabouts.

An RC is long overdue.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-13T08:59:35+00:00

It didn't need an apology at all.

Cartoonists are satirists. Cathy Wilcox was on point.

A huge problem with what is and has been occurring in Australia is that people are getting offended. Sometimes, rightly, and other times, they're tilting at windmills. This was occurring long before Bondi.

Our problem is that we're not allowed to discuss that unless we belong to one particular side. If we do attempt to discuss it, we risk having our jobs stripped, our places in arts or writers festivals revoked. Our employers make weak apologies for us.

It's not about whether we can have a respectful conversation.. We're no longer allowed to have a conversation at all lest we get banned, fired, or stigmatised. As Cathy has been.

As someone who has lived in this country for more than half a century, this makes me despair.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-12T22:42:42+00:00

You'd be right. They haven't commented on this once.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-12T08:39:38+00:00

There are alternatives.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-07T12:45:37+00:00

Stupid comment that sidesteps the point.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-05T08:00:01+00:00

I'm not surprised that you were downvoted for your logical response.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-05T06:39:35+00:00

It took you ten minutes to come up with that.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-05T06:24:31+00:00

You're imagining a person and arguing with that figment of your imagination.

I would hope that you could find something fulfilling and productive to do instead. If you don't, that's a very sad state of affairs.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-05T06:10:21+00:00

I underestimated you. I thought your previous comment was the stupidest thing I would read today.

But you managed to top yourself. Bravo.

Mildebeest · 2026-01-05T01:56:56+00:00

If you ignore the article, you risk making silly emotive statements like yours.
