The Absence of "Corflutes" is not the same as the absence of democracy.
This South Auian does not miss them one bit. Outside is a nice place to be, even, at election times ...
Stobie Poles remain safe from marketing molestations , and visual NOISE :)
Some people have them in the front yard, which is the only reason I noticed the absence at all.
No more inane smiling marketing puppets , grinning like over groomed airbrushed airheads. :)
Or the propaganda / graffiti war tween [far right] zealots.
Day 27 cont 🗳️
“Labor’s Murray Watt has accused the #Greens of deliberately #misleading #voters in the tightly-contested #Queensland seat of #Griffith by distributing flyers in Liberal party blue that describe #MaxChandlerMather as an “independent voice”.
The flyers, seen by Guardian Australia, are light blue and read: “If you want a strong independent voice, preference Max Chandler-Mather above Labor”.
Nowhere do they mention that Chandler-Mather is the Greens candidate, though the flyers are authorised by the party’s Queensland state director, #KittyCarra.”

Day 21 👩⚕️ 👩🥊👨⚕️
“A #Melbourne #surgeon has admitted tearing down a Dr Monique Ryan election sign before tutoring men in how to “bury the #body” in a video that has outraged #AntiViolence campaigners and politicians.
A video circulating on #SocialMedia shows #Professor #GregMalham praising US President Donald Trump after tearing down the teal #Kooyong MP’s #corflute before bundling it into the boot of a car and addressing “the boys”.”
How many women have been killed in Aus this year. This will be a Police matter and Professional Standards hearing.

If you are a bit artistic consider drawing a #sign on #corflute (corflute is the name of plastic, durable signage material):
"🌟 F e d i v e r s e
reclaim the open web"
r in reclaim = improvised #friendica icon
c = improvised #fuckwhale
a = #peertube (flip horizontally)
h = #epicyon bone crushing dog
o = #pixelfed
p = #plume
e = #mastodon
w = #writeFreely
b = improv' #pleroma icon
Take it EVERYWHERE, punch holes in the sign so you can attach it to your vehicle.
