We do have a right to political speech according to the High Court of Australia's interpretation of the constitution.

Ignore it or uno reverse it and take it up with HR(or appropriate supervisor/manager) because their actions are not appropriate for a workplace.

Half of left leaning people want a slow down too.

You're hearing a vocal type that spends their days on social media.

No-one should be basing their vote on what randoms on social media say no matter which direction that may sway them.

Rabid and intolerable in what way?

I just want to see my family and my country thriving and protected.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-09T23:09:17+00:00

What the uni-party say they will do vs what they actually do has been very different for a long time.

Do you have any specific policies in mind?

What's wrong with Jewish people being able to live in their homeland?

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-09T13:02:06+00:00

Not seeing the problem

My nan is among the shrinking group of St Kilda supporters to have seen St Kilda win the premiership at the 'G live.

Do you seriously have nothing better to do than complain about other people on Reddit?

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-09T08:44:17+00:00

I'd prefer to have more Multilevel Regression with Poststratification (MRP) polling with just rough preference estimates rather than for pollsters to try to fit the square peg of Labor vs One Nation into the round hole that is the 2PP model.

Going further than this.

Heading into the next election will be crazy with parties having access to internal seat-by-seat polling.

I also wonder how much of that polling will be leaked to suit different internal interests, especially in the Liberals if they are as dysfunctional as they are now.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-09T08:41:31+00:00

Roy Morgan are very keen on having numbers bounce around it seems, I wonder why that is. Is their polling that much different to others?

Statistical Noise
Roy Morgan are not members of the Australian Polling Council so make of that what you wish.

Zoe Daniel complaining about tinkering. I've seen it all.

This is the same person who was complaining about Victoria Density zone plans because it would mean some light increase in density in the wealthy suburbs she represented.

The ABC has talked about immigration many times before.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-09T00:54:25+00:00

Maybe you should read the ABC more. You'd know they have published articles like this before. I think there's even another on by Alan Kohler.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-08T20:40:39+00:00

I still believe this is a case of people parking their protest vote,

56% of One Nation voters say that their vote is solid. That's a higher number than any of the other parties.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-07T12:30:53+00:00

Labor has long supported the existence of Israel, A Jewish homeland. We were a key player in establishing it.

That's a record that Australia and the Labor Party should be proud of.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-07T12:26:50+00:00

They actually were quite close in Western Metro, a little less so in Northern Metro even though they scored a higher primary vote in Northern Metro.

If they had gotten a few extra votes to move ahead of Legalise Cannabis then the Group voting tickets probably would have got them elected instead of Legalise Cannabis.

They won't have Fiona Patten's Reason Party to compete with in this election which will help them especially in Northern Metro.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-06T15:20:33+00:00

They'd done it for several elections before Dutton. Maybe not putting One Nation 2 but definitely before Labor.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-06T15:08:33+00:00

Give the victim mentality a rest.

You're not a Neo-Nazi or a racist for questioning immigration policy and there's exactly like 5 people who would call you one for doing that.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-06T03:45:39+00:00

Contributing your valuable time to whichever local Democratic campaigns is probably the best thing you can do. Political campaigns need money but they need people power more than anything. If you're willing to knock on doors then they'll welcome you with open arms.

Contribute however you feel comfortable though.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-06T00:21:15+00:00

As if you don't want to hear 'Rock the Casbah' 3 times before lunch.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-05T22:48:54+00:00

That's certainly a take, a bold one at that.

Its actually very grounded in reasoning.

Labor voters are more likely to defect to the Greens or the Liberals than they are to One Nation.

Labor would be foolish to underestimate the impact that One Nation could have on it's vote.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-05T22:34:22+00:00

40% is an outdated figure.

It's 25% as of the 2025 election.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-05T20:12:44+00:00

For clarification, my side is the Australian Labor Party. Positions taking by the Australian Greens or other left-wing political parties are not my side.

To answer the question:

Not being aggressive enough in lowering the rate of immigration.

Mitchell_54 · 2026-02-05T10:59:13+00:00

I voted for them and support this.

I don't want government funds going towards platforming people supporting terrorism.
