>Bob Brown says "greed won" over climate action in the federal election after Labor's poor showing in Queensland, rejecting claims his anti-Adani convoy backfired.
>"People went for the money," Mr Brown told AAP on Sunday.
>"It just shows that dollars will defeat morality at the ballot box."
>Why won't Queenslander's starve to death for my ideals RREEEE
Isaac Price
I wonder if the ALP would have won if they had a decent scare campaign. They had a plethora of things they could have used, guess they got too cocky and thought they could just waltz into parliament without any contest. >hospital privatization >Murray Darling Basin being drained >Mass droughts in rural Australia I think the hospital bid would have been a good one considering boomers are getting older
Dylan Edwards
You realize now that we choose from 2 Labor Left leaders instead of Bill Shorten who was a Labor-Right?
Josiah Flores
This is exactly the kind of talk from the left that the electorate is fed up with lmao they just keep digging bigger holes for themselves.
Adam Howard
# It’s off the RBA and it has been no more than 2.1 since 2015. But you’re right in that the cash rate hasn’t been above 1.5 since 2016 and is about to drop to 1.25 so inflation is usually very slightly higher than cash rate.
Juan Martin
>this time last year I was earning $41 an hour on a Sunday ($328 GR for the day) >currently earning $38 an hour ($304 GR for the day) >come July I'll be earning $35 an hour ($280 GR for the day) >July 2020 I'll be earning $31 an hour (248 GR for the day) So that sucks but on the upside I'll have my Sunday's free to do whatever since I won't be working.
Thomas Stewart
You think Queensland and WA will somehow flip and vote in a leftist?
Ian Mitchell
Look Bob, I like you, but your former party fucked up when you blocked the emissions trading scheme. That is why the Greens are a bad meme.
Zachary Miller
>hospital privatization this was a scare campaign in northern adelaide, but >we are a safe labor area anyway
Daniel Parker
“Disgusting” seems a bit dramatic

Climate Change is just not a platform anyone cares about outside of Sydney and Melbourne CBDs
Jack Sanders
So you want white genocide?
David Hernandez
>"The Bob Brown caravan which went up there to talk about stopping Adani, had locals thinking, 'hang on, you are not going to tell us how to live'," he told the ABC. Fucking hick Queenslanders.
If that were the case ALP would have won by a landslide, LNP didn't even start bringing in policy until a week or two before the election they just kept on jerking off about a projected return to surplus Interesting to see how they'll try and save themselves in 3 years when the somehow magically don't manage to create a surplus
Christopher Evans
I just want genocide of people who even use the words "white genocide" unironically. Quit breathing through your mouth user.
Locals were going to fucking lynch this guy and his supporters
William Young
a fuck load of economic hostages have been created over the last 10 years, big mortgages for their houses, cunts needing or wanting inheritances when their boomer parents die so they need the status quo to stay but no doubt a lot of them are greedy too
silly faggot bob
Tyler Reyes
>FUCKING AUTHORITARIAN COMMUNIST FAGGOTS FTFY
Jonathan Diaz
Holy fuck the left is using the same talking points worldwide. Next they're going to call you functional illiterate
Easton Richardson
>about to drop to 1.25
what a fucking joke, what is the RBA even thinking? this wont achieve anything at this point. also a higher inflation rate than a central bank interest rate is always a recipe for disaster
Joseph Phillips
Can't blame em when mining is central Queensland's livelihood, you think they're just gonna turn down the opportunity for a prospect of new permanent job creation? Adani is going to be shit but ALP were too pussy to adress it and give a firm yes, or no with an alternative. They thought they could dodge the question and hope queensland would just vote them in because they won the state election a few years ago
Christian Clark
ALP policy was worse than the status quo. Hence why LNP needed nothing to trounce them short of a handful of tax cuts and job commitments.
Xavier Murphy
Labor have to choose between 2 Labor left leaders now. And it's not unreasonable to think that they can flip a state.
Alexander Gutierrez
kek
so you guys did it?
Henry Carter
Penalty rates are obsolete in our modern society. I find it ironic the inner city latte cunts who champion them the most also demand everything is open 24/7. I’d personally happily go back to the 50s of everything being restricted trading ours, but unfortunately this is the world the kikes have given us and if you chose to go into hospitality or retail a Sunday should be no different to a Monday.
Wyatt Edwards
Lol my Dad knows one of the people who was part of that "caravan". He drove in the caravan in a $200,000 Tesla. That's exactly what working class people in Queensland want to see. Some faggot from Victoria in a 200 grand Tesla telling you to vote Labor so the new mine doesn't get built.
>what a fucking joke, what is the RBA even thinking? They have lost control. This is supposed to put money in Aussies back pockets to stimulate the economy. It's not even a sure thing this will be passed on and even if it is people are struggling to make non-discretionary purchases.
Blake Brown
SA won't accept Plibersek as federal Labor leader. Bowen or Albanese, or there goes another 5+ seats.
David Adams
That sums up Shortens election. Poor bastard.

Jack Fisher
If you don’t care about the destruction of Australia from being a white Anglo nation, than you are merely a traitor. It should be the biggest vote issue for any Australian, we are destroying our children’s future.
Alexander Russell
That's fucking awesome
Easton Gray
lmao it cant even fill its mandate anymore. gl trying to control inflation and employment when this shit hits the fan
Liam Thompson
Would unironically like to see penalty rates abolished. No stores open on Sundays sounds really comfy desu
Jacob Gray
Why is it a disaster? Genuine question not necessarily disagreeing but I would think that Inflation is kinda low at the moment and by lowering rates they are trying to increase it. But I agree, cutting rates even lower probably won’t help. Europe are also at very low rates lately, around 0% (negative in Switzerland even I’m pretty sure) and that hasn’t seemed to help them
Dylan James
If your nation can produce more great men like Saint Tarrant, that would be great.
Lol the working class of Queensland are really gonna like the chick from the mega left wing, inner Sydney hipster electorate. Fuck the Labor party are retarded.
albanese as leader, bowen as treasurer. only way its going to work. plibememe shouldnt be considered, not even for deputy
Christopher James
The only bad things they had were the lack of any Adani support and the boomer taxes they included. Unless you're sydney infrastructure in Australia is fucking awful and needs serious upgrades, especially with all the immigrants that are gonna get airdropped into the major cities.
That caravan probably made so many people vote LNP/One nation/UAP out of pure spite. So sick of tired of greenies in other states trying to butt in and "fix" shit in states they have no business with.
Samuel White
I feel bad for the guy
Julian Watson
It's completely unreasonable, Queensland is voting further right every election
Jack Wright
Why are you for trading regulations?
Logan Cruz
Because the LNP control the weather and deliberately make droughts
Jaxon Howard
Couple of my mates on variable loan rates just got bumped up today. Yet a rate cut is in the pipeline.
Greedy banks literally wanting their cake and to eat it too.
Eli Cox
why?
Michael Perry
Why is that comfy? Just stay inside if you don’t want to see people shopping
Nicholas Wood
Adelaide's northern working class aren't gonna listen to her either, for the same reasons. It'll be suicide if they select her.
This sounds good
Alexander Reed
I don't care about nationalism to begin with. I'm on that globalism train. We are one people as much as it pains me to admit, there is no separation between me and you on this earth besides the air molecules between us. We are all genetically equal and inferior to mother earth and we will not have any other planet to live upon so we should all strive to exist as one below Gaia.
My people are the ones that get it, and if you don't get it, have a trip or two and get back to me, pussy. That's right, you are prescribed a psychedelic experience and I will not tolerate your bland opinions until you do so because that is the only cure for an interaction as toxic between someone like me and someone like you.
Go have an acid or dmt trip.
Christopher Hall
More for nostalgia. I unitonically think the country was better pre late 80s. I’m all for anything that gets us back to that way of life. Simpler isn’t always worse.
Chase Nelson
Because he tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it didn't even matter
Everyone resting for one day and having fun with one another sounds like it'd be good for mental wellbeing
Jason Watson
Small businesses in trusts taxed FIRE tax Contribution limits CGT cut Negative gearing cut
The policy was to fuck over Australians who work hard and want to build a future for themselves and their families.
LNP also have a lot of train and bullet train plans, Brisbane is building an underground railway. These upgrades you want are happening. Also, you can just not airdrop in a bunch of immigrants.
Anthony Smith
How can you consider Aboriginals and whites the same? There are huge differences physically, emotionally and intelligently. I like the idea of nationalism although I gotta say if I want to be consistent then that means we should fuck off to Europe and leave Australia to the abos
Ethan Jones
They don't even have to flip a state, they just have to flip a couple of seats. Boothby will likely go to ALP next election, so that's a pickup, they will also pickup Stirling in Adelaide as well
Landon Powell
I agree that isn't any different. The actual work isn't any different (apart from busier due to being the weekend) but I believe that penalty rates are an incentive for workers to give up their weekend (social time) in exchange for work and therefore higher rates of pay.
It also sucks to see that my wage is going down and the only thing I can do about it is find a new job.
Lucas Wilson
>a lot of meme parties got destroyed this election cycle like who? I'm guessing Bernadi's party is one. Bernadi is too much of a nice guy.

Nuclear power Big jobs Needs Big Industry Needs big POWER Nuclear energy it's clean and efficient. We live in the perfect country for. Lots of safe barren land, no earthquakes and tsunamis. We have the scientists and uranium. Enquire about Nuclear energy today.
Luis Rogers
doesn't matter if they cause it or not, if you've got a spin doctor good enough you can blame it on em easily. Scares win votes. But with the overdrawing of water in the Murray Darling basin, well yeah the LNP pretty much does cause droughts by allowing giant agribusiness to suck up as much water as they want killing off independent farmers who can't get any water from their crop And i don't know about you but I sure do like to eat
Lucas Long
>dmt found the Joe Rogan listening mouthbreather
Nathan Butler
You’re under 21 and from Melbourne or Sydney aren’t you? Your entire life has been post this country going to shit with third worlders. If you saw the brilliance it once was you wouldn’t feel this way.
Brandon Phillips
Although, we did build 99.99% of this country(well, ignoring the Chinese mines lmao) . I guess it then comes down to whether being he first means you get it
Jackson Turner
>Because he tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it didn't even matter He was a fraud.Watching him on qnada confirmed all my thoughts about his incompetency.
Andrew Collins
>SA won't accept Plibersek as federal Labor leader. Bowen or Albanese Rubbish. SA wouldn't accept Plibersek, but they would openly embrace Albo.
SA votes Red most elections anyway sadly
Cameron Cooper
Pretty shitty that universities/research are probably gonna get some more cuts. Sucks that funding for STEM and humanities are under the same organisation.
Thomas Hughes
>how did we survive? we didn't
Ayden Cook
In Bernardi's home state (SA), the Animal Justice Party and the meme HEMP party got more votes than his Conservatives. He got thumped
Kevin Watson
>You think Queensland and WA will somehow flip and vote in a leftist? We have a Labor gov for the state and QLD has mostly been opposite to the ruling federal party. So we'll probs keep Labor at the state level. I hope I'm wrong.
Gavin Jackson
Can you tell me how it used to be? I am a Brisbane zoomer although I grew up in rural SA and it was certainly comfy I couldn’t live there now (with respect to jobs etc)
Wyatt Turner
I stilling can’t believe we lost Anning.
Jayden Evans
You misread my post m8. I was saying they'd not accept Plibersek, but would accept Albo or Bowen
Daniel Nguyen
The government shouldn’t mandate it though, employers will work out what they need to pay to incentivise. It sucks you pay is going down but that is because of immigration.
Adam Watson
something to do with foreign (and even local) investors staying away from equities and shit like bonds (denominated in AUD) since the returns are so low and you are essentially losing money. can cause some pain long term as it becomes harder to control and inflation increasing while the central bank interest rate is 1 fucking percent, increasing it will cause a lot of issues like rising unemployment. why the fuck does the RBA have a mandate to control inflation as well as lowering employment?
Noah Gray
Doesn't surprise me. Bernadi is a good guy, but he has no appeal to "youth" who are radicalized as fuck on both sides.
Anthony Butler
I know, but I always feel bad for the loser in elections for some reason
