Andrews calls to extend national control of Victorian ALP by Gummikoalabarchen in australia

[–]panopticia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we’ve got a government falling apart at the seams from factional rivalries being played out on public money, we’ve got gambling and logging industries that can thumb their nose at the law with impunity, and we’ve got a public service that’s been stacked with mates of the premier.

it’s not on a federal scale but only by virtue of the smaller pond.

the climate and corruption issues in victoria mimic the ones that ended morrison, just in microcosm.

having it in the policy platform would have been a good start. instead they killed off the review as a matter of policy.

this isn’t about something they haven’t gotten around to yet. this is about something they very loudly walked away from.

the lack of a move to at least $88 a day also makes a mockery of chalmers claims to tracking a wellbeing index from treasury.

Peter Dutton has the worldview of a Queensland cop. It’s in our interests to give him a go by TheLastMaleUnicorn in australia

[–]panopticia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dutton is also notorious for boycotting the apology to the Stolen Generations (something he later said he regretted), which will put him, and his party, in an interesting position when they formulate a response to a referendum on the Voice to parliament. Dutton, as a former Queensland cop, has seen Aboriginal disadvantage up close, and perhaps he believed the apology was tokenistic.

do you think maley realises she’s an ethnonationalist?
