Australia General Discussion 2.0

[GoTfan]

Wait, I thought the Constitution only caught out dah Greenie commies.

[IceAgeComing]

Katter has just withdrawn confidence and supply; which strikes me as something that seems more important than it actually is - makes the situation that much harder for the government in a tight vote if (when is probably more sensible) Joyce has to leave parliament but they should be able to keep something together for a time since you'd have to think that a Nationals by-election victory is the likely outcome.

It all really is rather silly that dual nationals can't be elected to parliament - especially a place like Australia with a large migrant population...

The Coalition still has McGowan for their supply, but what gets interesting if out of the blue, another LNP member goes.

I've got money on a snap election happening next year.

LOL, this government is not playing by the rules, and is trying to go for the opposition?!

I look forward to the next election.

The below poster was plastered all over 2 prestigious Melbourne schools yesterday. I cannot believe the Antipodean Resistance haven't all been thrown in jail yet... We beat Nazism in WW2, we will beat them again... If you, for some bizarre reason, want to see all the other bile they've spewed in the past, google it. Basically, if you aren't a nazi, but especially Jewish, LGBTQI, or an immigrant, there are hate posters they have made against you.

They probably have friends in the right-wing of the Liberal Party, so weak Turnbull can do nothing.

The citizenship chaos has ensnared more people: Fiona Nash, the Deputy Nationals leader; justice Minister Michael Keenan and Nick Xenophon, the SA crossbencher have all had their citizenships called into question.

[Lachi]

NXT MP Rebekha Sharkie has withdrawn her support of the government. Independent MP Cathy McGowan is now the only crossbencher left to have not officially said she does not support the government.

SOCIALIST REVISIONISM!
Cormann's gone crazy.

Have we talked about Abbott confessing that he missed the GFC vote because he got plastered?

[Lachi]

This pro-marriage equality poster is appearing on around 8/10 shop front windows in my city.
Not a bad percentage for a city that I expect to have one of the highest yes votes in the country. (all of the talk about marriage equality in Shepparton has been on the pro-yes side)

The high court hearing on the marriage equality postal survey starts tomorrow AEST, to continue on Wednesday.

"news"crap's partsan polls have reached Queensland, sowing the Labor government down 53-47 2PP, despite Palaszczuk being ahead in preferred Premier by a massive TEN points.

Most polls show Labor ahead at around 51-53% 2PP, by the way.

[Lachi]

The SSM survey will be going ahead.

Get ready for the 2 month long projectile vomit from the No campaign

Oh, no, I would take a Liberal before him.

I'm genuinely surprised thanks to recent events, at how sinister the Australian right is.

Also the amount of nonreligious/atheist cultural conservatives in Oz whose whole reason for voting No is because "the other side are a bunch of f*gs.  Like seriously....
