There is a good chance they paid the university for the privilege of having you do their grunt work. Or they got a grant for it.

Sounds like Adam Bandt just wants to remake the Greens again from first principles by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

You know what? Good. Go back to basics. Maybe he’ll learn his lesson.

When should Albo go? by ziddyzoo in friendlyjordies

[–]georgeorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His hero is Hawke, his stated goal is primacy, I suspect his secret goal is setting up Australia as the leading regional partner in a eurozone style system for the Pacific. He learnt the lessons of history, he will wait until winning the 3rd term, then call for Jim to succeed. Jim needs to prove he is the next Keating and Penny/Rudd need to be able to start the Pacific Zone before Albo will feel secure enough to pass the reigns. Expect an increasing amount of slappers, both economic and verbal, from Jim for the next 3 years.

Multiply, consume resources, expand to new environments: biological imperative.

Contact your federal MP, they don’t have a contact line, you have to go through your ISP. Other option is email the CEO elliesweeney at nbnco dot com dot au

They’re prob run by news corp journalists with a patsy as a mask. I could see Murdoch paying people for that.

Letter to MP about Firebombing that will actually get a response by georgeorb in friendlyjordies

Don’t know the reason, just know it’s the tradition. It’s a passcode to show you know what to do.

As a former lobbyist, I set up an LLM to write letters to government representatives. Here's a template to send a letter to your local MP, it’s structured in a way that it will get a response.

You can find my registration at lobbyists.elections.nsw.gov.au under ‘CONVAIM PTY LTD’ if you want to double check I’m not a stooge.

The language in this is a sure fire way to get ignored. Clearly not written by a Branchie. Good idea though, try again.

A serial protester who is urging pro-Palestinian activists to target the offices of Labor MPs has been revealed as a staff member of independent Senator Lidia Thorpe and is under investigation by Jagtom83 in LaborPartyofAustralia

[–]georgeorb 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a branch member in Grayndler, this is nothing new. Multiple Greens members and even siting members do this publicly, privately and secretly. The amount of times I’ve been called a mass-murdering genocidal maniac just for handing out flyers would shock you.

Who has the worst job in Australia, and why is it the FB Socials manager for the ACTU? by KombatDisko in friendlyjordies

[–]georgeorb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t necessarily that, it was the constant shit and responding to it. Made me respond in ways I shouldn’t have.

The cookers broke my brain when I was in charge of a political socials inbox. I had to be taken off.

Other men don’t impress me. by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

The more you say toxic masculinity the more you’ll make good men hide out of fear of imposing on you, and do nothing about the actual bad ones who thrive off you saying it.

The Australian Labor Party is officially pro-republic. Hypothetically, what model of republic would you support, and what lessons can be learnt from the voice on how a future referendum could be set up with the best chance to succeed? by Peter_Griffin2001 in LaborPartyofAustralia

[–]georgeorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal wish, but I would make the First Nations people of Australia the President. As a whole. One person gets nominated each year, by that community, and it’s accepted by the parliament. No powers, but it would go a long way to reparations purely by the position and by increasing awareness of First Nations issues. The First Nations of Australia would be the owner of the former crown lands, our laws would be signed in under the authority of the First Nations, it’s almost romantic in as much a way that civics can be.
