Excellent fucking video. You put into extensive words my exact problem with the sentiment of "both parties are corrupt/uniparty"

[@harrisonsloan6036]

Yeah it’s completely fucked, no real world understanding. Btw imagine if the greens has any actual politically standing except for being complete pests, imagine how they would behave for their “principals”

[@InsertRandomName2001]

It’s not that both parties are corrupt, or in on some grand scheme to keep regular people down. It’s more so that both parties are just made up of regular people, and people on average are out to help themselves first ( and rightly so ). Given this objective reality, it is natural to come to the conclusion that both parties are just as bad as each other, just in different ways. Labour is fixated on inclusivity, acceptance, looking virtuous, shaming white people, etc, while blaming liberals for everything. Liberals are fixated on immigration, crime, “woke” people, and blaming labour for everything. Then they get together at the expense of the taxpayer to stand in a room and scream at other, filling the air with baseless recriminations towards each other over issue neither side combined could fix. Likely not some grand conspiracy behind it all. Just people’s observations about how the actions of politicians on both sides are perceived

[@jamesscanlon5969]

Looking at australian politics from the standpoint of "uninformed brit" just seems like in a nutshell it is just " let labor cook "

[@Deadralord777]

As an Australian, with an interest in British politics of the past, I’m slowly discovering that Australian Labor looked at British Labour and said ‘let’s not do that’. While Labor is undoubtedly your best option between the two, those governments have been as bad as they’ve been good. I honestly think the Hawke-Keating Labor Government of Australia was the best government of the 20th century mainly because of the results they achieved by turning a middle grade, backward economic colonial outpost into a thriving competitive economy poised perfectly within a growing Asian mega market, made the unions and business work together and using the capital gained to create reliable social programs that still remain as some of the most important aspects of our society today.

[@megamarkd]

Howard rode the wave of prosperity Keating started, lied about GST to win a second term and then played the nation with fear, uncertainty and doubt right up until Abbott took over. Remember in the 80's when he refused to shake an Asian leaders hand? It was so good to see him have to do that to continue the trade with China that Hawke initiated and was the only way he was able to bring foreign money into the country.

Yes, I wrote to them when they started up, due to my interest in invasive species. There is no expertise in their organisation. They could not answer any questions. The AJ crowd are generally ninnies. And what is their interest in tenant/landlord relations beyond their cat or dog?

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Max Chandler-Mather: "Serious allegations against the banks", yes, the Libs did nothing in their royal commission. and Labor wasn't in power. MCM: "Serious allegations around systematic sexual abuse", yes, that your party helped cover up. MCM: "Serious allegations against institutions in this country", yes, that are nigh impossible to tackle, but Labor are bloody well trying, bit by it, while you side with them instead. MCM: "Why are Labor overriding the rule of law?", they aren't, they're removing corruption, are you seriously arguing illegal activity is upholding the law. "Why don't they take that organization through a legitimate process", they are, that's what the anti-corruption commission is. Moron. Greens - the party of ultimate hypocrisy, and screeching incoherently in parliament, wasting taxpayer money.

I don’t want to actually take the time to understand politics in Australia, I just need a channel to make me feel like I’ve done the bare minimum to feel “informed” so I can say both lib and labor equally bad at my next party.

What does Australia produce other than uh- sand and spiders ? not tryin to be mean or w/e , but why does it even exist really

[@doz7496]

​@@SabbaticusRexif you can dig it up an sell it we do it. We don't even bother adding value to it, ie process and make things out of the ore and minerals. That's for the low wage paying economy's, mainly China. Almost entirely all of the steel in China is from Australian iron ore and coal. Australia also exports a large amount of bauxite (aluminium ore), iron ore, lithium, rutile, ilmenite, zircon, copper and uranium.

Im from qld and a labor voter. The uniparty claims have merit. Why hasnt labor implemented the gas guarantees that W.A has, why did it take so long for the coal tax. There is so much they could do but do not.They only take action when they are forced to. And that is evidence that they do not want to take action.

Honestly, before this video I'd have been significantly more swayed by your argument. However Jordan's line about "big acts require big trust" hits home. Considering the crisis that happened last time a tax on minerals was proposed, federally losing their spine and then being forced to watch for 12 years, their work burn to the ground Did you not hear the part about a laptop being formatted being made out to be a state wide political conspiracy!? *Does that suggest an environment that trusts and supports?* When you're forbidden from operating a bloody laptop to a basic secure standard, how an earth do you think an exponentially more difficult, dangerous issue would be remotely possible?
