This has already cost what, $430B? We should just throw in another few billion and build our own diesel subs for safety.

I wonder if the new excuse any time a media company does something dodgy is “oh it was the AI sorry!”
It really is shocking how talentless you can be to be a successful right wing talking head.
American politics infects Australian politics in many ways sadly.
This changes the effect of negative campaigning (people still show up in Aus vs the US), but the idea is to dissuade people from voting for someone, rather than encourage them to vote for you. This might have a positive effect on votes for the party doing the negative campaigning, but I think it’s a poor definition of convincing someone to vote for you.
I don’t think this is a useful definition of voting for
which implicitly gets them to vote for you.
Seems to only be true if you think of there being only 2 parties, which is why I don’t think the definition is good.
It’s hard to cuff someone doing a nazi salute when your right hand is up in the air.
Compulsory voting means any campaign has to be focused on actually getting people to vote for you
I don’t think this is necessarily true, did you miss the massive amounts of negative campaigning that happens every election?
He fucking loves playing this card.
“if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear” was always BS.
Yeah but how are the cops supposed to access our data without a warrant or any form of notice?
None of this is surprising but it’s good to get the names of these people. This sort of shit rambling about elites works in the US and UK, so of course it works here too.
I don’t even understand much of the basics of how the Australian government works
It’s a meme but if you don’t know how the government works maybe start with Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_system
There’s also boring arse government info: here
Most of this still will probably be pretty dry, but that’s politics for you.
I am completely uninformed and have to vote based off of the miniscule amount of information I have which may not even be correct
To be honest this is probably most people. Even people who think their well informed can be way off the mark also (look at the cookers for instance). The only thing you can do is try get news from a range of sources, be careful to note what is opinion and what is not and try to analyse the source itself. All sources are biased, but some are more well researched or more truthful. Remember also that if you doubt something said in an article you can always cross check with another article, or even do a quick google scholar search (look at a few articles or try and find a review paper - most will tell you what they conclude in the abstract, which you can read for free).
Well as people worried about victims I’d just be worried it might seem a tad disingenuous quote from a vast minority of cases and not provide any quotes from victims that never see justice you know?
What happens to people who have been raped and weren’t believed or were falsely accused of faking it? Just wondering if they have similar experiences with mental health?
The rate of false accusations of rape is really hard to determine but is generally regarded as being pretty low (Vicpol puts it at ~5% based on studies). It’s also extremely hard to get a good number though, since false does not mean unfounded.
I don’t think it’s justified drawing an equivalence between rape and rape accusations given the evidence we have on the rates, it makes it seem like false accusations are happening way more than they actually are.
Also given who this probably is, this is likely not the only accusation of rape also, which decreases the likelihood the accusations are false I would suggest.
The no campaign is run by pretty seasoned wreckers.
Just now you haven’t answered the queries he had repeatedly made, you’ve shot them down.
The same line used by climate change deniers for ages, while they disingenuously repeated the same arguments that had been debunked or were nonsense.
liberal party
Probably thinks misogyny is okay tbh
It’s funny because I can’t even see the LNP coming up with something this bad.
