Upcoming Australian election thread.

[Hacky McAxe]

Like I said, the best man doesn't win, it's the less shitty one that wins. That's why ALL governments are a farce.

Does anyone actually know their policies? Did they advertise them or just tried to take the piss out of the other?

Yep. ScoMo promised not to shit himself Maccas again. The other guy said something about schools, or clubs... Maybe if was something about Universities.

I wanted an "I voted" sticker like the Murikans get....

I wanted a cake, as they were so dear where I voted.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

F**k the climate idiots, i will never ever sell my 6.2L V8, now im going to work it so it pushes out even more.

As someone well educated in climate change, and someone who understands how screwed we are due to climate change, I still refuse to give up my Holden Commodore.

At least you had cake. Where I voted there was nothing. No cake, no democracy sausage, nothing. I reported them to ASIO for running an un-Australian voting place.

What time did you vote, they can only have the democracy sausages between 11am & 2pm

Definitely. It's a bit of a mixed thing as there's bugger all an individual can do about it unless the government and major corporations address it, but most climate change advocates do bugger all for their individual circumstance.

True - but you could also argue that even if the government and major instos address it in Australia, it will make F/All difference to the world’s carbon emissions, and in fact, whether there is a climate issue in the first place. My point is - where do you draw the line? If you believe in climate change, you should not be driving cars, getting on a plane, using a mobile phone, etc etc. It’s like those idiots that glue themselves to the road - the Extension Rebellion nut jobs - I’m sure they have cars, mobile phones, use coal powered electricity, etc etc. The world has gone mad!! The skies are falling!!

The one that looks set to take Frydenberg's seat is another Climate 200. Looks like the independents may actually form a new joint party.

Midday. Spot on 12pm. There was not even a hint of anything. It was a travesty.

U like many others miss the point (and not a diss on u bro). Its not about whether our carbon reductions prevent CC. Its about us building an economy that can handle whats coming. And at the same time, not making CC worse.

Industry contributes more GHG's than all the punters driving gas guzzlers. Money to help them get that under control is the first thing and the classic is, some of them have seen it coming for years and are prepared. Just cheaper for them not to have to do it.

We have all the tools to be a world leader in pot growing. Go Legalise Cannabis Party (especially stoner hot chick).

Climate change is definitely a major issue. No debate about that any more. It was actually established over 30 years ago but good disinformation campaign confused people on the issue. It's not at the level that those nutjob climate emergency alarmists are talking about but it's a major issue. Most of the climate and earth scientists I've worked with are very concerned about our future. But we also have smart engineers working on solutions so we could be fine.

But it's a difficult issue to address. We're effectively a drop in the ocean compared to what the likes of China, US and India do. But we also pollute more per person than all 3 of those countries so the issue that arises is that we are basically telling people in poverty in China and India that they should be deeper in poverty so we can be happier.

There's some hope though. China is currently leading the world on renewable energy advancement. And that's all that will fix it in the end. If countries like China, India and US shift their energy usage to carbon neutral energy, like renewables and nuclear.

Unfortunately not much we as individuals can do.

Came here expecting a conservative shit fit, was not disappointed. Labor minority government on the way. Suck it up fellas, wiser heads have prevailed.

There he is

 

[The DoggFather]

So is ScuMo blaming Russia or China for rigging the election?

They would piss their pants screaming.

That's the key problem here. Regardless if you believe that climate change is an issue, or if you just absorbed every piece of propaganda fossil fuel companies fed you and believed it without criticism, the issue is still a major economic one for us.

Fossil fuels are being phased out. Which means that Australian coal is dropping in price. Fortunately we have some of the best terrain and potential for a new energy economy. But unfortunately the Australian government refuses to invest in converting us to the new energy economy.

We could dominate the energy market but instead we're sticking with coal as it slowly destroys our economy.

Fortunately it seems like people are starting to switch on to the issue and more are voting for independents that aim to address the problem.

I’m looking forward to the whingeing lefties such as ******* the ugly blow up castle carney QLD houso posting less boring Facebook links but not looking forward to working harder to pay for people that don’t want to work like the turk.
You dumb ***** wanted this so so can’t wait for you to show us how much the country will change for the better under the houso Joe Biden junior. Idiots

Thanks mate. All good. I was not arguing whether climate change is real - that is a separate huge discussion. I was just saying we should take personal responsibility for fixing it if we believe in it. This so called “industry” you refer to - this is not something on another planet we can blame - “industry” is also us! It’s run by us people - it’s not us against “industry”. To say it’s industry that causes most of the damage is really saying that it is us that cause most of the damage. All I’m saying is that fixing climate change always seems someone else’s problem which should not be the case. All climate change activists, especially those that stand on a public platform based on this issue, should take personal accountability to resolve the issue, no matter how small or large their impact may be. To not do this is unacceptable.
