It's OK to be White and other dogwhistles - the Australian politics thread

Happy that my phone already knows it’s spam so yet to see one in my inbox.

Annoyingly you cant even block it at a phone level it seems.

On the plus side, this is all just more expense to their campaign that we hope once again yields zero seats for an 8-figure cost

(Edit: 9-figure cost)

Yeah, they were the top spenders and spent more than $120m last time, and only got Ralph Babet in.

Now that I check spam, I have indeed been texted and so has my partner. Maybe get a Samsung?

I’ve binned two but the next one will be forwarded to Harry Fong with regards:

That’s what I’ve got.

Unless it’s an actual number I cant block it. Because these things are web based without spoofing a number - no blocking. Maybe the newer models can but mine cant.

I was hoping the H stood for Homer J

Also, I haven’t got one of these - I assume because I am in one of the few seats without one of these clowns as a house of reps candidate.

We’ve got one up here in Robertson and Dobell, and they can both fuck right off. Labor put the Libs ahead of them and One Nation on their HTV.

Google messages auto filters them out.

So there’s the “fake news”, I expect he’ll be barking about immigrants eating cats and dogs prior to the media blackout on Wednesday.

“Hate media”? He means Sky News and the News Ltd papers, right?

This is his whole fucking problem - he’s completely useless if he’s talking to anyone who isn’t blowing smoke up his arse. So none of his positions have ever been exposed to real-time criticism, so he’s got a bunch of fucking stupid ideas. “Forgotten Australians”? He just means the people who, like him, can only bear to be in the right-wing media bubble.

Also, nobody is going to be in a position to claim victory by 6pm election night, so unless he plans a stop the steal style bullshit campaign I’ve no idea what he’s on. If anything, the Coalition will look good when the vote count is at 2% and it’s only tiny regional booths in, and then they’ll look their worst at about 10pm when the election day and pre-poll votes are in but postals are yet to come. There’s not gonna be any sort of “stop the count” nonsense going on because it’s just fucking stupid.

He doesn’t need ideas when he has the LNP/conservative playbook.

On my pixel I don’t see them. I just checked my spam and saw one there and blocked them. Fuck them.

ABC? Hah I just keep seeing Sky clips of them looking like absolute fools.

Even the after dark lunatics are against his strategy/policies.

But noooo it’s the mean ABC and those loony Guardian.

My two youngest kids like the paper those flyers are printed on because it makes good origami folding. Even though I’ve already voted I’m still going to swing past the local polling booth so that I can get at least a dozen propaganda leaflets from all of the parties ( and get a democracy sausage ) .
