The ScoMo Government

Jump to new
Shows how fickle the media is, they have been calling for stimulus for the last 6 months, now that the Government is talking about it. The media is saying it is a shameless about face, I guess they have to write something.:roflmao:
As long as it is focused on sensible well thought out infrastructure it will be fine IMO, if it is just thrown out the back of a ute, they will be hammered as they should be.
Just my opinion.

He's probably lucky the COVID came along as a distraction because he can't really defend the sports rorts allegations.

Well that is what should happen, when you sit in the 'big chair', Australia needs to get a direction and a purpose.
Sitting out your time in office, to hopefully have a trouble free run isn't going to cut it any more, we have a changing economy and no one in recent history has addressed it.
There has been way too many politicians recently, more concerned with their media appeal, than actually making Australia a better place.
The public are becoming better informed through social media and google, therefore if Morrison doesn't get off his butt he suffer at the polls.
These pending reports had better be good IMO, or he will be toast.
Unfortunately Albo putting out the zero by 2050 statement, puts him in a bit of a bind IMO, I think he will also suffer unless he comes up with a viable plan.
Like I said the public, is better informed these days, even the thick ones.
Just my opinion.

One would hope that the public is better informed, I'm not so sure. Quality journalism has been declining and with the demise of AAP it will decline even further.

As much as I dislike the political correctness of the ABC I think it's our one last hope to get some serious policy analysis instead of the continual intrigue of party politics, and I have my fingers firmly crossed as I write. :rolleyes:

"Optics" is what they call it.

Need to worry about "the optics of the situation".

It's a term used frequently by people who are out of their depth on anything relating to the actual subject and are only worried about how it looks via the media. :2twocents

There are moves afoot in the UK to try to make the BBC more representative of the spectrum of British society (good luck with that).

If the current government had any balls they would try to do the same.... And I don't necessarily mean present more right wing views (which they should of course give a fair hearing), but more views along the various socioeconomic stratas.

State media tends to represent the inner city <cough> "elite", from which most of their employees are drawn from.

As someone who has mixed in all sorts of different social stratas (and I heartily agree with Monsieur Montaigne in "Essays", but I digress...) , State media does not represent that spectrum at all.

Hence I think the ABC can be reformed... should be reformed to be a true state broadcaster and represent all stratas society.
 
It's unbelievable the saturation of climate change on ABC radio, they just drone on and on. It's a broken record, they're obsessed.

It's like, is there anything else happening in the world? Unlistenable

oh well:
Just think (unlikely) if only the work had of started when Margret Thatcher and John Howard a few years later recognised AGW as a problem.
But alas the duping of so many by vested interests have led us to this point.
The dolts though still 'haven't left the box'.
Or; Take DEVO's advice and 'use your Freedom of Choice: Freedom of Choice'
And the option....News Corpse has saturation un-coverage... 'you'll turn in circles and drop dead'.... by choice. I would.
The Barrier Reefs have'n another Bleach... Who would of thought?
Ahhh... 30+ years of scientific opinion.

Oh and free advice to the Clown outfit Schmo Show; The answer to ALL your political and economic problems('For all the other-ones, they're manifold, there's no hope') and OURS is 'The Green New Deal'.

Jeez you could look on the bright side, Kev might get another run, with his magic wand.
At least all the energy hungry plasmas he bought last time round, will probably be in the landfill by now.:roflmao:

Labor followed treasury advice (Ken Henry) and avoided recession and it was far more than the cash handouts, this mob of clowns may well screw it up who knows, if they do mess it up franking credits will be the least of your problems ;)

Who are you kidding Humid? Name one conservative on the ABC. They just gave Gerard Henderson the boot. -Any others, probably too frightened to open their mouths in Ultimo, for fear of ending up in a re-education camp.

I'm happy to name the Labor people on Sky
 
No jobs no growth no surplus no penalty rates the adults are back in charge
A government that refuses to spend and then wonders why the voters aren't spending
People mortgaged to the hilt from a property bubble fuelled by an unmanaged boom with reckless immigration
