>>904978while i'm glad he said what he said and I can guarantee that it's from a genuine place, the response by twitter-brained liberal progressives is just the worst. They have become purely obsessed with the signs of dissent, be it the grace tame frown or this fella - with an absence of any tangible politics, they have completely entered into the postmodern arena of gestures without substance.
There is an interesting paragraph from Lance Sharkey's "Sectarianism and Economism:"
>The most outstanding example of sectarianism on the part of the Central Committee was in the days of “Lang is right” when this demagogue succeeded in arousing a great mass movement. The Party leadership then contented itself with “exposing” Lang and failed to present alternative proposals, refused in the main to work with and within the movement led by Lang, so as to take it beyond the limits set by Lang and to be in a strong position to take the leadership when the inevitable day arrived when Lang let down this vast movement.This could apply to many things in the modern day: be it the ALP, the youth climate movement, and so on. We shouldn't get sucked into the charade of gesture, simply condemning and "owning" our enemies, we have to build an alternative. I don't expect the liberals to understand this, but communists should.

On top of all of this, they are now having their commutes, time generally used to mentally prepare for 8 hours of sitting in their wage cage or decompressing after having sat in their wage cage for 8 hours, interrupted by a small handful of weird looking pencil neck fucking faggots sitting in the middle of the fucking road. Pencil neck fucking faggots who just by looking at them you can tell are even more clueless than yourself. These people are all life losers, destined to remain life losers. NONE of these idiots have any worth to anyone and they know it. That's why they're so attracted to these stupid stunts - no one in their right mind wants to be lectured by a life loser, but now, for the first time in their stupid little lives, the life losers can be acknowledged, even if it has to be by force. Why don't they go barricade the doors to parliament? Why don't they go sit in Scott Morrison's driveway? They don't care whether the people they're fucking around have anything to do with us being in the situation we are in. They don't care that every single person in their cars in front of them is fantasizing about stepping down on the accelerator and running over their out of shape bodies, or that they, out of principle, would sooner dump a thousand car batteries in the ocean than admit these faggots have a point. They don't actually care about whether they achieve the outcome they claim to desire. This performance is nothing but an elaborate and pathetic white flag. They have already given up on the idea of anything getting better, they think we've past the tipping point and that we are doomed. For them, there is nothing left but to salvage the moral high ground for themselves. They see the stern of the ship as having already been raised to 45 degrees and that we are sinking for good, but they're satisfied enough with being able to say, "I told you so!"

It's the less exciting part of the day, for better or worse depending on if your day was hectic or laid-back.
Last time I counted I think there were 3 penises on ballots, 1 "THERE [sic] ALL CROOKS", 20 blanks and a couple of invalids where someone put down 2 1's, and an invalid "STOP DEVELOPMENT" instead of voting for either of the independents whose
entire platform was 'stop development'.
A few years back I was counting in an area with a local anarchist group and I found a vote with a small manifesto written on it about why they couldn't ethically vote for any of the candidates. I didn't care about politics much and wanted to get them finished so I didn't even read it, but in hindsight it would have been interesting.
I can't remember the last time I've done it where scrutineers bothered to show up, but in the possible case you get an asshole, just hit up the senior officials.

Can someone explain what’s going on with the rental market and housing availability?

No.949053
>>948797Supply is a meme, the issue is the structure not the availability. If availability was the problem then homelessness would be skyrocketing, but its stable in relative terms.
Cheap houses are bought up by the mega rich who rent them - if they can't make a profit the government bails them out meaning there is no disincentive to gobble up property, so prices never stop rising.
If wages actually grew this wouldn't be an issue, but its created a too big to fail market that keeps moving further and further away from the average person.

>>951048Statement from the hackers which I removed of superfluous material to save space:
Nauru, formerly known as Pleasant Island, is a tiny island nation in the
Pacific. Since the 19th century, a range of colonial and occupying powers –
including Britain, Germany, and Japan – have controlled the country.
Nauru has been an independent nation since 1968, after half a century of
Australian/BPC phosphate mining depleted their island environment of 80
percent of its livable surface.
Although an independent country, Nauru is, in many respects, effectively a
client state of Australia. Nauru and Australia signed two memoranda of
understanding about offshore processing on the island, the first in August
2012 and the second – which supersedes it – in August 2013. Under these
agreements, Nauru agreed to assess people's claims for international
protection and host the facilities required to detain them, while Australia
committed to bearing the entirety of the cost.
Nauru has a population of 10,000 people, with around 107 asylum seekers as
of July 2021.
The majority of asylum-seekers and refugees on Nauru are from Iran, while
many are stateless, and others come from Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka.[0]
On 19 July 2013 there was a major riot in the detention centre. Hunger
strikes and self-harm, including detainees sewing their lips together,[1]
have been reported at the facility, as well as at least two people setting
themselves on fire.[2] Attempted suicides were also reported.[3]
An overwhelming sense of despair has been repeatedly expressed by detainees
because of the uncertainty of their situation and their remoteness from
loved ones.[4] In 2013, a veteran nurse described the detention centre as
"like a concentration camp".[3]
In 2015, several staff members from the detention centre wrote an open
letter claiming that multiple instances of sexual abuse against women and
children had occurred.[5] The letter claimed that the Australian government
had been aware of these abuses for over 18 months.[6] This letter added
weight to the Moss review which found it possible that "guards had traded
marijuana for sexual favours with asylum seeker children".[7][8][9]
In 2018, reports of children engaging in self-harm and attempting suicide
drew attention back to the conditions at the centre. Children as young as
eight were documented as exhibiting suicidal behaviours, and an estimated
30 children were described as suffering from resignation syndrome,
a progressive, deteriorating psychiatric condition that can be fatal.
Extreme trauma experienced both in their country of origin and in their
daily lives at the camp, coupled with a sense of hopelessness and
abandonment, are thought to have contributed to the onset of this
condition.
In September 2021, Australia signed an agreement to indefinitely keep the
Nauru regional processing centre open and continue its policy of mandatory
immigration detention.[a]
And so we decided to hack the Nauru Police Force, who were tasked by the
Australian government with policing the island and obtained 285,635
confidential emails related to abuses that they tried to cover up, and we
are making them all public.
The Republic of Nauru has previously disputed reports of torture, sexual
assault and child abuse on the island.[b] Can they still dispute this when
all their emails are out in the open?
The things we saw and read made us sick.
We are asking the newly elected Australian government to by the end of 2022:
~ End the policy of mandatory immigration detention and permanently close
immigration detention facilities, including on the island Nauru.
~ Grant permanent residence to all asylum seekers, including the 124 people
forcibly moved out from Manus Island.
~ Investigate all allegations of abuse in the immigration detention centres
and pay lifetime repairations to victims.

https://cpa.org.au/guardian/issue-2005/listening-to-the-solomon-islands-friends-to-all-and-enemies-to-none/<Listening to the Solomon Islands: friends to all and enemies to none by Roland BoerThe Solomon Islands (SI), with a population of 700,000, has a growing relationship with China. This is a fact and an inevitable trend. In all the recent fuss over this relationship, there is a tendency to focus on what the governments of China, Australia, and the USA think. But what do the government, the politicians, and the people of the Solomon Islands themselves think?
If we scan the main newspapers – Solomon Star, Solomon Times, Island Sun, and the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Commission (SIBC) – we find the following.
The basic economic reality that about seventy per cent of SI’s exports go to China. Next down the list is Italy, with ten per cent, whereas Australia is the destination for only 0.9 per cent. This economic foundation is the prime reason for a number of notable decisions in the last couple of years. In September 2019, SI recognised at long last the People’s Republic of China as the only legitimate China. A Chinese embassy was formally established a year later. These developments took place against the backdrop of the first visit by an SI government delegation to China and signing on to the Belt and Road Initiative. In fact, there were many agreements: in foreign affairs, economic and technical cooperation, education, and in relation to agriculture, fisheries, health and people-to-people relations. The result: China has already provided AUD $6 billion in investments. Further, in April 2021 the first batch of Sinopharm vaccines was rolled out in SI, as soon as the vaccine was approved by the WHO. (In theory, this should have been Australia’s responsibility, but since Australia has been hoarding vaccines and only forty per cent of the population has received one dose and twenty per cent two doses, it has fallen to other countries – China, Japan, New Zealand, and even the USA – to fill the gap.)
In November 2021 riots broke out and targeted the economic infrastructure of Chinese enterprises in SI. Australia has a 2017 security agreement with SI, but the feeling in SI is that Australian forces deliberately took their time to arrive in November 2021 and then failed to intervene so as to allow maximum damage to the interests of Chinese enterprises. Why? The violence had been stirred up by social media propaganda from Taiwan Island, aided and abetted by Australia and the USA. This is not to say that these efforts did not have some fertile ground on which to work, since there is a notable wariness among the populace in relation to China.
The losses from the riots were massive, with lives lost, buildings destroyed, and thousands of jobs lost. They almost crippled SI’s economy. Riots have occurred on earlier occasions, in 2006 and 2019, and the SI government has observed that its local police are not sufficient for the task. After the November 2021 riots, it was also decided that the agreement with Australia has “gaps” and that further agreements were needed. A new security agreement with China was signed by the 20th April 2021.
During the lead-up to signing the new agreement, the US openly interfered with internal political processes and began working for a “regime change.” Accusations began to fly: before signing, the agreement was supposedly “leaked” by an anonymous group of public servants in SI (this turned out to be false: all that was made public were diplomatic notes, although such leaking is also a crime); China would build “military bases”; it would use its economic leverage to get what it wants; the security agreement was a “secret deal” to protect the Prime Minister; and so on. When perusing the letters to the editor, the reader comes across some that repeat these accusations, while others ask for the relevant agencies to ensure that news outlets report the facts.
So let us see what has actually been said in the Solomon Islands:
On the arrival of a US delegation in April, Prime Minister Manasseh Sogovare said:
“Thank you for visiting us after 80 years.” Former Prime Minister Danny Phillip observed that “the USA has totally forgotten Solomon Islands over the past 80 years after the vicious World War Two (WW2) leaving tons of munitions, hazardous chemical wastes and military hardware of various descriptions in the country.” Further, “our people have been killed in numbers annually by unexploded ordinance and other hazardous materials – a risk that still persists in most parts of Solomon Islands till today.”
On the security agreement with Australia: “the current security agreement with Australia is inadequate to deal with our hard internal threats.” Further security agreements are being negotiated with Fiji and Papua-New Guinea.
On the response to a rare visit by the Australian Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Zed Seselja: “The resentment was quite obvious.”
On military bases: “It will not be in the interest of Solomon Islands to host any naval or military base of any country, because that will immediately make Solomon Islands a military target for other countries.”
On AUKUS, which SI heard about via news media:
“One would expect that as a member of the Pacific family, Solomon Islands and members of the Pacific should have been consulted to ensure this AUKUS treaty is transparent since it will affect the Pacific family by allowing nuclear submarines in Pacific waters […] Oh, but Mr Speaker, I realise that Australia is a sovereign country which can enter into any treaty it wants to, transparently or not. Which is exactly what they did with AUKUS.”
On sovereignty: “I ask all our neighbours, friends and partners to respect the sovereign interests of Solomon Islands on the assurance that the decision will not adversely impact or undermine the peace and harmony of our region.”
On stability:
“We will not allow any threats from within Solomon Islands to threaten regional stability. Solomon Islands’ stability is the region’s stability […]. Let me assure the people of Solomon Islands that we entered into an arrangement with China with our eyes wide open guided by our national interests. We have full understanding of the fragility of peace and our duty as a state is to protect all people, their properties and critical national infrastructure of the country.”
On economic development:
“Solomon Islands is not only a growing democracy, it is a nation of groaning young people, who account for more than fifty per cent of the population aged 40 and below. The nation needs economic development, not promises of economic development. Promises of economic development do not put food on the table every day, nor does it pay the bill. China is doing that.”
Obviously, the threats and efforts at internal interference from Australia and the USA have not been received well, especially since the Solomon Islands is serious about its sovereignty and follows the policy of “friends to all and enemies to none.”

AEC also shows you practice ballots and ABC has how-to guides so just look that up.
No.979899
>>979886That depends on you man, people will be handing out how to vote cards in the line leading up to the ballot. Here are a mix of opinions from different far-left parties:
The CPA says that you should "…first preferences to Socialist, left and progressive candidates, then Labor, with Coalition candidates followed by extreme right independents and parties last."
The ACP have said that preferences should first go to "trusted and tested activists," leaving the major parties towards the bottom, followed by the far right parties (UAP, One Nation, Lib Democrats)
Vic anarchists have said that anarchists should abstain from elections (and gotten in a fight with SAlt as a consequence)
No.979902
>>979867well first you want to write on the really big piece of paper (the one for the senate) the following quote:
"Bourgeois democracy is democracy of pompous phrases, solemn words, exuberant promises and the high-sounding slogans of freedom and equality. But, in fact, it screens the non-freedom and inferiority of women, the non-freedom and inferiority of the toilers and exploited." - Vladimir Lenin
Then you want to take a fat shit on the senate paper and wrap it up like a burrito.
for the small paper (the house of reps paper), below all of the other candidates you should write Karl Marx, put a box to it and write 1 in it. then draw a hammer and sickle on the paper with the quote "rich beware, for your days are numbered!" under it.
put the HoR paper in the senate box and the senate paper in the HoR box, walk out singing the Internationale. (you will be arrested but you will become a true working class hero.)
No.979910
>>979886First priority is to voot for large economic benefits. UAP, Greens, are promising student loan forgiveness. (low chance of passing but should voot for them anyway)
Secondly, after that, LNP for Acceleration and so Shart-in-mart Scovid can continue doing more damage.

>>981895In standard Australian English, the word "labour" is spelled with a u. However, the political party uses the spelling "Labor", without a u. There was originally no standardised spelling of the party's name, with "Labor" and "Labour" both in common usage. According to Ross McMullin, who wrote an official history of the Labor Party, the title page of the proceedings of Federal Conference used the spelling "Labor" in 1902, "Labour" in 1905 and 1908, and then "Labor" from 1912 onwards.[7] In 1908, James Catts put forward a motion at Federal Conference that "the name of the party be the Australian Labour Party", which was carried by 22 votes to two. A separate motion recommending state branches to adopt the name was defeated. There was no uniformity of party names until 1918, when the Federal party resolved that state branches should adopt the name "Australian Labor Party", now spelled without a u. Each state branch had previously used a different name, due to their different origins.[8][a]
Although the ALP officially adopted the spelling without a u, it took decades for the official spelling to achieve widespread acceptance.[11][b] According to McMullin, "the way the spelling of 'Labor Party' was consolidated had more to do with the chap who ended up being in charge of printing the federal conference report than any other reason".[15] Some sources have attributed the official choice of "Labor" to influence from King O'Malley, who was born in the United States and was reputedly an advocate of spelling reform; the spelling without a u is the standard form in American English.[16][17] It has been suggested that the adoption of the spelling without a u "signified one of the ALP's earliest attempts at modernisation", and served the purpose of differentiating the party from the Australian labour movement as a whole and distinguishing it from other British Empire labour parties. The decision to include the word "Australian" in the party's name, rather than just "Labour Party" as in the United Kingdom, has been attributed to "the greater importance of nationalism for the founders of the colonial parties".[18]

>>981969Remember that time Labor voted to ban the Communist Party?
>The Bill passed the House of Representatives, but struggled to pass the Senate, which had a Labor party majority. Labor senators agreed that the Communist Party should be dissolved, but held reservations about allowing the Governor-General to 'declare' people communists. These reservations were especially strong after Menzies admitted that the names of Communist Party members which had been read out on the House floor contained errors.Amendments were proposed that removed this power, but the Labor Party later withdrew its opposition and the Bill passed the Senate without amendments on 19 October 1950. It was brought into effect as the Communist Party Dissolution Act (1950) on 20 October 1950.
>The Act authorised the Governor-General to declare any person a communist, engaging or likely to engage in activities detrimental to the defence and security of the nation. Such persons were not allowed to be employed by the Commonwealth in public service, or in industries considered vital to the defence of Australia. They were not permitted to run for office and were prohibited from joining a union. The Communist Party of Australia was declared an unlawful organisation and was dissolved, its property forfeited to the Commonwealth without compensation. Affiliated organisations were also liable to be declared unlawful, at the discretion of the Governor-General. No.981982

Aussies, what are the foreign policy stances of your Labour Party with regards to China and Russia? In the press, there was implied that Labour accused Morrison to be too soft on China due to the Solomon Isles thing.

No.983261
>>983251>My guess is it means Liberals with green characteristics.Oh that's a shame, they seem to run on nice things so it feels like lowkey center left.
No.983311
>>983242Depends. Our past two labour PMs, notably Whitlam and Rudd, had more of a "let's negotiate peace and a mutually beneficial trade deal, but not the point where you lot ark up and start causing a commotion".
Whitlam and Rudd were both couped by the CIA. So with Albo, he'll probably be hard handed and say "the reason we sold off our national resources to the Chinese was because of the libs". So it'll front as being hard handed on China, but in reality, it'll just be nationalisation while he prepares deals etc.

>>983388Not a surprise.
>>983242Many Glowie shills in the Fake News MSM supported Sleepy Anthony, he is their guy.
No.983478
>>983261Center right. They're kind of like the US Dems, socially liberal but back business and economic conservatism.
History the Liberal Party has represented people like that as well as social conservatives - it was being the party of business that binded them - but now they've gone ulta conservative on social issues so these people are splitting away.

As soon as ICAC is formed, apply for jobs there. ICAC could become the new Cheka and we can take over government that way.

Apparently albo was a commie when he was younger guess he sold out in the end.
No.984722
>>983795Good thing about him is that he's a major Nationalised infrastructure nation building guy. His personal project forever has been High Speed Rail along the Eastern Coast. He's also promised FTTP NBN and that it will always stay in Public Hands which is well to the left of the OG NBN policy which was to be sold off to Telstra after completion.
