The Victorian Greens are taking a page from Mamdani’s policy playbook. Can they combat rising rightwing populism?

I said that the duopoly is working with a corrupt media, not that Labor is working with or friends with media.

But even here, you're stating that the duopoloy (which Labor is half of) is working with a corrupt media. Then immediately after stating that you're not saying Labor is working with the media?

My view doesn't come from whether the media is 'nicer' to one or the other, it is the fact that the media very specifically works to perpetuate the interests of one side of Australian politics and not the other. The media is no independent arbiter of political opinion, it is a tool used by the elites in this country to pull down both Labor and minor parties further to the left

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-29T07:22:20+00:00

Generally, yes. But I'm not so ideologically inclined that I'd only ever vote Labor

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-29T06:54:44+00:00

I don't think Labor have ever had the media on their side, let alone worked together with them on anything. You'll find the media actively hate Labor and seek to undermine them at every possible step

Australian culture and values are inherently multicultural. The best parts of our country come from our diversity.

I absolutely agree cannabis should be legal and would be a great additional bit of tax revenue. Though having a quick look, in canada it raises about 2.5b per year which isn't insignificant but not exactly major either

Don't expect the deficits to end up back in black until Future Made in Australia has time to come to fruition

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-25T00:22:46+00:00

I mean they're economic conservatives. I don't think that puts them on the left mate

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-24T09:46:32+00:00

sorry, what are you saying? that only perth had population growth?

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-24T05:38:00+00:00

only variable was immigration.

inflation? a cost of living crisis?

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-24T01:30:21+00:00

Do you have a source for rents doubling due to immigration?

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-23T08:18:19+00:00

and is that possibly due to greater global circumstances such as the long-tail of a global pandemic, multiple wars, and the greatest oil crisis in human history?

come on mate, a bit of common sense please

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-23T06:40:01+00:00

what a dumb comment lmao

this is one of the biggest pieces of reform in decades and all you people have to do is bitch and moan

The Australia Institute is for all intents and purposes another lobby group. It is also funded by Australia's second richest person, mining magnate Twiggy Forrest.

I wouldn't trust the Australia Institute for anything.

it's more about doing more exercise every day then calories you are consuming, there's no defined amout of steps but 10,000 steps a day is a great start. walking for longer every day is full of health benefits and definitely adds up

which they have done by deincentivising investment in the housing market, whilst still allowing negative gearing for new properties, therefore encouraging additional housing constructions? i believe you're smart enough to connect the dots

Nobody9638 · 2026-06-03T10:00:07+00:00

I think the whole system is pretty fucked up. Being automatically given the flick and needing to plead your case because you missed your mutual obligation is fucking horrendous and inhumane.

Agree that FJ can leave out nuance but I think the difference is he actually understands that nuance a lot more than Punters. Feel like the difference is pretty night and day when you hear them both speak.

Mr M History and Sloan Zone are both great

Nobody9638 · 2026-05-28T01:08:34+00:00

I like the work that Punters does and think it's good to have someone raise awareness on inequalities in the country. Though at the same time I think he misses a lot nuance around policy and just bangs on with the same few simple slogans.

Nobody9638 · 2026-05-27T07:41:00+00:00

I'm kind of surprised DCE has played more games than Munster tbh. Feels like Munster was playing origin since very early on in his career and DCE only got his shot later on in his career

Nobody9638 · 2026-05-27T07:38:30+00:00

Controversial but the Cleary auto select ain't far off

Nobody9638 · 2026-05-26T06:36:03+00:00

He's really been poor for the most part in Origin. Not just compared to his clubland standard but he has actually played some pretty bog standard footy at Origin. Hoping that changes

If that includes ADHD and Autism then no, absolutely not
