Oh yeah, props to her for getting up here though, even saw her at the Rollingstone pub the other day as I drove past haha.

The 'yoof' whinging about the state of politics but guess which demographic has the lowest turnout?

That's right, the yoof.

Only 36% of 18 to 24 year olds voted in the EU poll and yet they're the biggest whingers about them leaving.

So the entire crowd were lefty socialists? Even the ones who clapped for Cormann? :lol:

Fuck there are some shit trolls on here

The point being that had Larissa Waters or Richard Di Nitale said the same thing Jones was saying there would have been heaps of applause. Instead Jones got crickets.

And it's true.

There were similar stats on the radio yesterday in regards to the amount of donkey votes in the lower age brackets.

Not only do they not vote, when they do theres an average of a 4-5% informal voting rate.

Because he's a patron of the right and thus it doesn't matter what he says, he's wrong, he's out of touch etc. you know the narrative.

Im generally a fan of Waleed Aly.

He brought up tax concessions from Super on the Project last night.

What disturbed me so much was how he portrayed the people using legal loopholes to avoid tax as some sort of pariahs rorting the system and preventing us from building schools and hospitals.

Is it a problem? Of course, the super tax concessions are absolute nonsense. How the hell do people who wont need a pension anyway need a tax cut? Good to see both major parties putting up promises to sort this issue out.

However, the wording of piece was loaded and terribly unfair on people using legal avenues to avoid paying tax. It was as if these people were in the wrong. I like how he was called out on his loaded wording, poor effort from Waleed.

You only have to vote 1-12 on the senate ballot this year (below the line).

I know. I get a perverse pleasure relegating some parties to the bottom of the sheet.

This.

Which is exactly why I did it. ALA, One Nation, LNP, they can all eat shit.

I thought he was pretty balance on QandA last night.

-PB

He was but because he's seen as a 'shouty' ring winger there was going to be no love for him no matter what he said.

Mwhahahaha now they know what real pain feels like mwhahaha :twisted:

No all credit to Jones last night he was very good as was Plibersek. Cormann on the otherhand was a bumbling mess but that was to be expected.

Yeah Terminator wasn't good under pressure, specially when that guy that was the whistleblower asked his question lol.

-PB

Yup, one less vote they will ever get.

-PB

Alan Jones is always "balanced" on Q&A, shows you that he's just a populist.

But you did vote for them, well in the unlikely event the preference distributions flow a certain way you have. The only way not to vote for them while having a valid vote is not to preference them at all.

Must be a Xenophon voter.

Well with preference deals there's no way to really not give people a vote haha.

Other than drawing a penis on the ballot?

-PB

Voting today, can't decide whether to preference the Libs or the Animal Justice Party last.

Preference deals don't really matter any more. Not voting for a bunch of parties though isn't that great an idea unless you hate them all equally. If your preferences get exhausted, your vote is essentially not counted and the quotas become smaller. Definitely in everyone's best interests to number as many boxes as they can.

lol heap of people getting LNP shit in the mail and marking return to sender.

I haven't had one letter or spam from any other party this entire election.

Very odd.

-PB

Excellent, they would definitely be saving on direct mail costs.

Lucky! Pyney has been very active. Almost nothing from Nick X which would make it even more glorious if his party were to win the seat.

Scomo announces they'll balance the budget by cracking down on "welfare cheats" and pulls some numbers out of his arse as to how much they'll be able to recover. So sad that this sort of thing won't really be challenged by the MSM. :roll:

I have been sent 1 flyer from LNP on the night of State of origin game 2. Thats it. I figure we must be in a safe seat if no-one is bothering to spam us.

Oh no, Libs going to crack down on welfare cheats! How dare they preserve the integrity of the safety net by going after rorters!
