Model collapse: “The owners of the right-wing press read their own media and it rotted their brains.” Ha ha, yes! The same thing happened to the (so-called) Liberal Party in Australia & they lost the last two elections, badly. ⤵️

Democracy Sausage

A real-time crowd-sourced map of sausage and cake availability at Australian elections. It's practically part of the Australian Constitution. Or something. #demsausage

Can we all put it out there to Aussies who aren't all that into politics, that Canadian Liberals are the diametric opposite to Liberals in Aus.

Theirs are inclusive, humble and strive for respect and compassion.

Australian Liberals are divisive, arrogant and seek to humiliate and hate.

Don't vote LNP.

So Dutton will need $600 billion (thats $600,000,000,000 ) of tax payers' money to fund his nuclear reactors.

What a frigging waste: same as the $368 billion ($368,000,000,000 ) predicted for the dead duck AUKUS.
Locked into with USA, thanks to that other great LNP leader, Shite Morrison.

Libs really are the party of financial MISmanagement. Can we all remember the decade of corruption we had with LNP in power ???

Can the 47% of undecided Aus voters remember that when they vote?

$968 billion could buy us a LOT of investment in medicine, education, NDIS, green tech transition and now R+D in Aus in all sectors.

Or should we vote Liberal for more dead-duckism ??

With the upcoming federal elections in May here in Australia, Peter Dutton, the leader of the Slightly More Conservative but Anti Renewable Energy Party has been doing his best to look like his idol, Trump.
Here he is contorting his little mouth so as to imitate the sponging mouth parts of a pre-Cambrian bottom feeding sea creature, like Trump!

Government sets crosshairs on 'billionaire' political donors, including teal backers

The federal government is close to announcing an electoral reform proposal likely to provoke teal independents and trigger a legal challenge from Clive Palmer.

Australia: Fight the climate change disaster, become an SEP electoral member

What is required is the struggle for socialism, based on a turn to the working class, the social force whose fundamental interests align with reconstructing society to address the climate crisis.
