@besttraveltech: I struggle to understand your point either. WA is thrilled with their Labor government, SA is thrilled with their Labor government. It's Sky News after dark and cookers that can't accept our current state.
I agree with much of what you say. Federal Labor isn't yet responsible for all the countries but I agree they have maximum 2023 to work it out.
I'm not a fan of the 2 party system but it's almost all we have. I mean if Latham or Craig Kelly are out next best options then wow.
I hear what you are saying about other states but everyone needs to realise Andrews is the designated Australian Soros, or Clinton or whoever else the right need to make up stories about.He is a good choice because I think he truly doesn't give a F and that's why he got my vote. I'm still overjoyed in the Morrison demise. Noone more liberal than Howard, I wasn't a fan but credit where credit is due. I lived to see the gun buy back and I think that's one of the single best decisions I've seen in half a century of Australian politics.
or whoever else the right need to make up stories about
Dan Andrews' lockdown laws were not made up, nor was his mystery trip to China. The fact that you think this says more about you than anyone else.
I think that's one of the single best decisions I've seen in half a century of Australian politics.
Which also tells us a lot about your judgment. The gun buy back was a feel good media stunt that cost a lot and achieved nothing,the standard pattern of the left. There are more guns in Australia now than in 1996 so what do you think that $500B of taxpayer money actually achieved?
@1st-Amendment: That we aren't a crazy gun culture country. That's enough for me. Your username pretty much tells me all I need to know. You have your bias. I have mine. The Chinese Andrews story was a Murdoch bear up. Check the date Andrews announced it. Check the date of the Aston by-election..A masterstroke by Andrews when more than 10% of Aston are Chinese Australians.
The media not going issue was absolute bullshit. You think our media is free in China? You think they can say and do what they want in China? If you looked into it more you'd find out the truth. Many aren't welcome. Many aren't getting visas. Makes absolute sense to me. Imagine Australian media interviewing Andrews in China? As if he is free to say it as it is. The level of diplomacy to survive with CCP breathing over your neck isn't worth the level of diplomacy required by someone like Andrews. China wasn't welcoming Australian media behind closed doors but many fault to understand that. But it's not lost on anyone how vital China is to us and how vital we are to China. Andrews threads the needle nicely but people in a diet of Fox News, Newsmaz, Truth social, Breitbart and Twitter can't understand the bigger picture.
That we aren't a crazy gun culture country.
We never were, but the firearm numbers have doubled since then so what did it actually achieve?
That's enough for me.
So burning $500B for no tangible benefit is enough for you. Got it.
You have your bias. I have mine
You sure do.
@1st-Amendment: I'm with you. A bigger better gun buy back is needed , but the private sector (arms industry) should fund it.
Which also tells us a lot about your judgment. The gun buy back was a feel good media stunt that cost a lot and achieved nothing, the standard pattern of the left. There are more guns in Australia now than in 1996 so what do you think that $500B of taxpayer money actually achieved?
Apparently far more than YOU know, unsurprisingly, including a 50% reduction in deaths from guns: https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2021/04/28/new-g…
How's your judgement looking?
@seamonkey: I never said Dan Andrews isn't the key figure hated by the right…
My point was that the "Murdoch media told me the rest of the country is schmick" comment makes no sense when the rest of the country is ALP as well. It's clearly not partisan when Dan Andrews is also receiving criticism from ALP, Greens, and other left-wing supporters as well, and it's therefore a bit ridiculous to paint everyone who criticises Dan Andrews as "either what these cookers call 'Dictator Dan' country or a Labor party sworn in 500 hours ago" when it's widespread.
Your comment that "I'm not a fan of the 2 party system but it's almost all we have" is also a self-fulfilling prophecy "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in.” Sorry, but that way of politicking is the problem.
It's irrelevant whether Andrews is "the designated Australian Soros", that's just a way to deflect genuine criticism.
@besttraveltech: So much we can't agree on and that's fine. I personally don't think you are looking at the big picture. I'm saying Dan is Murdoch's Soros, Clinton, take your pick.
What I'm saying makes perfect sense because take someone like McGowan - he isn't going to give 2 shits if the right attack. He'd thrive on it in fact. The right can unite against the punching bag that is Andrews because they can agree on that. It's all about traction - they can't get their grip on anyone else. Knobs like Credlin, Murray etc need to keep the Andrews rage live.
Saying Andrews gets criticism from the left and the greens is ridiculous as no-one is immune from criticism from there own side..the Greens criticise everyone. I mean you can say same side hate for Andrews is anything like say what the Morrison level was or Dutton for that matter.
Yeah agree with very little of what you are saying but respect your right to say it. In terms of your lizard story, I get it. In election day though we have what we have. Between election days we can fight hard for who will be on that ballot but if we fight as hard as we can for what we believe in , there is little else we can do. Beyond that, we get the governments we collectively deserve.
@seamonkey: "gets criticism from the left and the greens is ridiculous as no-one is immune from criticism from there own side" But Dan receives a disproportionate amount of criticism from his own side, in a country that disproportionately supports his party. That's the point. You can keep pointing fingers at Fox News if you want, but it's beside my point.
"In election day though we have what we have". This isn't America, we have preferential voting in Australia… Even if we didn't, it's still a self-fulfilling prophecy, and a line of thinking is still cancerous circular logic that keeps us trapped in a two-party dictatorship.
You can argue about how bad LNP are compared to ALP, but when they overwhelmingly support the same key sets of legislation, e.g. Identify & Disrupt, then it's just pissin' in the wind.
I preferenced ALP over LNP, btw, in both state and federal elections, and I also loathe Murdoch.
@besttraveltech: Cool. We don't see things the same way and as I said that's fine. I'm in my 50s if that is possibly relevant and likely our life experiences are quite different in many ways. I simply don't agree that he receives a disproportionate amount of criticism from his side. Murdoch and his Minions are behind a lot of it - they control that Andrews narrative and I follow that story very closely. They have become ludicrously predictable. I mean just think about the court case they settled today for Christs sake.
Preferential voting only gets you so far. You can make a stand and vote for your local candidate that's awesome but it'll be wasted. You'll feel good but he/she loses once again.
We need winners. We know the winners before they win in almost all cases and it shouldn't be like that but it is.
I agree the 2 parties are pretty much as bad as each other. Though in Victorias case LNP is a f&_$ing joke legitimately. The only thing that seperates the parties for me is one tends to push the skygod narrative more in the year 2023. The right atheist has my vote. If I could vote in the US election I'd have Buttigieg as POTUS. I'm a straight male without any gay friends but any relatively intelligent option that is able to speak has my support. Too bad they haven't had that for decades in the US. I was an Obama fan but his brain was way faster than his mouth which made him tough to my ears.Didnt like all his policies but mostly fine.
@seamonkey: "I simply don't agree that he receives a disproportionate amount of criticism from his side. Murdoch and his Minions are behind a lot of it" - so does he not receive disproportionate crticism or is Murdoch behind the disproportionate criticism?
Being in Queensland, it's clear Andrews receives disproportionate criticism amongst ALP supporters, because Murdoch went after Palaszczuk as well, but I still hear my very left-leaning circle criticise Andrews, yet rarely criticse the ALP leader of their own state.
"Preferential voting only gets you so far. You can make a stand and vote for your local candidate that's awesome but it'll be wasted." But it's not wasted, that's the whole point of preferential voting…
I respect Buttigieg but he handled that derailment woefully and it's probably going to hold back his career for a bit…
What I'm saying makes perfect sense because…..
All good but SKY has very little public traction in regard to their attempts to crucify Andrews, primarily because of their own lack of credibility and integrity, and their persistent embellishments, personal attacks, and petty, hyperbolic criticisms. There's plenty of ammo on issues which do resonate with reasonable people - IBAC's reports on branch stacking and today's Morrison-esque public money for mates revelations for example, but they just can't get over their obsession with Andrews, which no doubt played into the hands of the ALP at the last Vic election.
Yeah, very believable story from Dan and the police about the bike accident. Not. Let me guess, you think the ABC is independent and not agenda driven like EVERY media organisation. At least old Rupert doesn't claim to be impartial like a certain tax funded broadcaster.
Whatever the truth, I hold my wife responsible for all actions I take on the road as a driver. Every split second, those thousands of micro decisions I make every drive - her fault. I think the eshay that got hit got a nice compo claim and wanted to come back for a 2nd bite of the cherry. D¥€¢head can't ride a bike (I'm aware of the location, you'd have to be baked to get it wrong on the bike. Shitizen KKKane Murdoch tried to help but it just emboldened us more to make sure this great premier gets his bronze statue..Same turkeys pushing these fake conspiracy theories are the same knobs that think Kennett was a good premier. He was and remains a pos. I lived in the heart of Melbourne for all those terrible Kennett years and I'm glad we have what we've got now. Clearly the majority of Victorians agree with me as that was an excellent election result. I still laugh about them putting up Lobsters with Mobsters for a 2nd ass kicking. It was so satisfying. 🤣😂🤣😂
Vic system is overloaded with anti vax cookers rocking up to ED with covid and requiring skin grafts for knuckles etc.
Maybe the slobbering citizens can use these stickers as fake number plates? (At least they spell checked the sicker beforehand)
;)
He was too busy ordering rubber bullets
How safe is your vehicle with this sticker?
anything that doesn't attract the LCT would be safe.
While y'all arguing in the comments I just got myself free stickers ill probs never use
Some actually amazing merch on their. Wish the synthwave shirt was still in stock.
What does this sticker do? Serious question… What is it hoped to achieve?
Stick to things. Stay stuck.
It's a good profiling tool but given the driver will probably me wearing a mask alone in their car it's a bit redundant now.
Ah right, this is the link between people in unions and people who like Medicare and people who took COVID precautions. Those three, at it again!
The concept we are both discussing is absolutely a thing. It's not a Venn diagram made up by someone with brain worms.
c u on Telegram
"I can't see the correlation between two groups of people so nobody else can either. Harharharhar!"
"I deride a messaging service with less censorship than the platforms that governments pressure to censor content that is inconvenient to them. Harharharhar!"
For the record, I don't classify all union members as mindless state worshipers, lots of them are coerced to join.
@Ghos7: You posted a baseless 'link' between some groups and I commented skeptically/sarcastically about it being valid.
Now, which of us do you think should be the one that 'proves' the correlation?In the real world, it's the person who makes the claim. ("Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof", etc).
Of course, a conspiracy theorist thinks exactly the opposite (they come up with links ('theories') and assume they are true and challenge people to disprove them, and then in the bonus round anything that actually might work as actual counter-proof just turns out to be 'proof' of a far bigger conspiracy… whose very existence must mean they were right all along).
It's the brainworms I feel sorry for. Those poor things must be starving.
@CrowReally: You are about as third as smart as you think you are.
You don't understand the difference between objective and subjective.
You've "baselessly" assumed that profiling can only be done from an objective basis. If you had any self knowledge you would know that you profile people from a subjective basis all the time.
Good luck navigating life!
@Ghos7: I had your measure when you joined the "unions are handing out medicare support stickers" chat with "yes, this is a discussion about COVID and I have some pretty S H O C K I N G takes".
I mean, don't get me wrong, there was plenty of rubbish along the way (the unions as state worshippers is a new one on me. I guess those recent NSW state rail and teacher strikes against the government policies were some sort of mistake because they're actually all on the same side, right?), but the 's-someone ask me about my pet subject' energy of your opening gambit really set the tone. The fact you've tried to parlay that into "just handing out life lessons alongside the pitiful mess my mind has now become" is nice little bow to wrap it all up in, I guess. You've showcased yourself well.
Here's an old joke, updated:
Q: How do you find a
veganCOVID-skeptic at apartyotherwise ordinary discussion (that's not in any way related to COVID)?
A: Don't worry, they'll find you!Congratulations, you've converted your life to a punchline. Pity it wasn't funny.
@CrowReally: Of course it's a new one on you, you have no critical thinking capacity or understanding of the downstream effects of a monopoly.
I did offer you a life lesson in simple logic but you've chosen to avoid arguing against my point. Instead, you've tried all sorts of sophist manipulation implying that I'm some sort of social outcast. I think you're probably projecting your own fear of not complying with whatever the media tells you to think. Sad.
@Ghos7: I'll let our fascinated viewers decide who came out on top of this one, but my boiled down take is it went:
Ghos7: These groups are connected to this COVID idea.
Crow: That's a stupid idea, that makes no sense at all.
Ghos7: Just because you can't see the connection, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Crow: Alright then, you made an outrageous claim, show the connection then.
Ghos7: Well there's all kinds of objective and subjective ways to look at things, it's a pity you can't understand that.
Crow: It feels like you're discussing everything else except actually the one thing that's been asked, you sound cooked and wrong.
Ghos7: Well clearly you have no critical thinking abilities and you lack logic, but nice try trying to manipulate the conversation, which for some (unknown) reason always ends with me not explaining the one thing I said that started this all.But maybe you're right, maybe me asking you "what did you mean by that" and "i'd like to hear what you meant by that" means I'm just some mindless little pawn of the media, reactive in fear and complicit in denial. while you're at it, you might as well tell me i use tiktok all day and haven't heard of books either, yeah?
Good on you for displaying some fantastic critical thinking skills and honest discussion. It was a pity we never found out what you actually meant by "these things are connected to COVID", but maybe it was my fault for not asking you that, several times.
give my regards to RFK Jr on the dark web next time you see him
@CrowReally: LOL I was right when I said you don't understand objective and subjective.
Maybe if I dumb it down and remove the subjects that trigger you, you can get your head around the concept.
"People that do X and Y are idiots." Idiot is subjective here. I don't care what you think about the correlation I chose to make.
You really have wasted a lot of anger on this because you don't understand very basic concepts.
@Ghos7: Thanks for clarifying your original statement is actually "People in (or support) unions and like Medicare are idiots"
Took a while for us to get there, but now we can judge it on its merits.
Subjectively, I think your subjective opinion is a brainfart, and an embarrassing one to have to claim.
But maybe there's people who point and laugh at strangers who meet that criteria and go "oh my god, in a union AND likes medicare???? what is WITH that sort of person?? lololol" and they'll get some real kinship out of your take.
Give Dr Fauci my regards (next time you're doing a census of the people living in your head rent-free).
@CrowReally: Man, you're still lost.
You don't have to be in a union to stick the sticker on your car.
Let me dumb it down a bit further for you. People who like Medicare enough to put this sticker on their car and people who wear a mask while travelling alone in their car are idiots.
You really aren't good at drawing an inference out of a statement using basic logic. You'd be embarrassed if you weren't so confused.
People who like Medicare enough to put this sticker on their car …..are idiots.
I think starting at the point of anyone putting stickers on their car are idiots, and then create the exclusion list from there would be easier.
I've seen way worse stickers on plenty of cars than something saying they like Medicare.
Good for picking up hairs from the bathroom floor
Anyone know Mark Fitzgibbon's (nib) home address? I'll send him one to put on his Rolls Royce Boat Tail.
no deal all you fid was Mme it sell out
What do unions have to do with Medicare? None of the unions that are part of it actually have anything to do with it. Even the doctor's union that's there is part of salaried doctors and therefore doesn't have that much to do with Medicare.
As well as representing members (and hangers on) in wages and conditions barneys, unions typically fight for things they believe are in the broader national interest (some exceptions obviously, eg the CFMMEU). They regularly put resources into lobbying/media expositions to alert complacent Australians to what's happening.
Medicare has been run down by successive govts for years. In lieu of "a big bad levy increase" - or better still, tax reform and crackdown on hugely profitable companies paying no/minimal tax (legally), resource windfall profit taxes etc etc - they've essentially offloaded costs to medical practitioners who "bulk bill" (charge the low Medicare rebate) or to individuals who have to pay an ever increasing gap. You and I have little hope of fixing the funding without heavy hitters like unions.
Lol who puts stickers on their cars these days, and especially one from a trade union.
I haven't seen those stick figure car decals recently
from Australian Unions
Green Unions ?
It's onions, and Tony only eats ripe ones.
I don't like unions. They give me reflux.
Here's a few other things they gave you: https://www.australianunions.org.au/about-unions/union-achie…

And what they took from you…
(None of those things apply to me by the way…)
You have to wait 2 years from the date of referral for an appointment to collect your stickers.
If you don’t like waiting, you can get “we love our private health insurance” stickers delivered express, but they cost $5000 each, unless you get them from a preferred provider which brings them down to $2000 each.
unless you get them from a preferred provider which brings them down to $2000 each.
I get 2 free ones each year.
Yes but only dental and optical stickers. Bumper stickers are a separate procedure. And don’t even think about asking if they’ll throw in spine or pregnancy stickers for cheap.
This isnt good for climate change lol.
OzBargained Out of stock
I like my Medicare. I hate my state's health department. Each successive government here wins by slamming the current state government for their mishandling of the health department, then when they get in they mishandle the health department. Millions of people's health is apparently just a talking point and a notch on some politicians resume, at the end of the day.
and crayons
Where can I get a;
'Stop (profanity) up EDs & the health system by taking non emergencies there.'or "Save Medicare ,support your GP"
100 comments and only 400 clicks
Amazing
Yes we do. But I don't love that sticker, it's not going on my car.
To neg free is not allowed.
I didn't get it at first but that's pretty clever
More landfill? ROFL
Panadol medicare
Is there one for “We love bulk billing”
Best perk of my job? Bulk billed GP appointments.

its a political posting and is here to create division.
We're becoming an American country. Neo liberalism has eroded what was left of welfare of its citizens…a capitalist democracy. Welfare shouldn't have such negative connotations as it does in this country.
These will be collectors items.
Make sure you order the last 2 and in a decade $20 on Ebay hehe :)
Sick bumper sticker.
Just reading through these comments and a lot of them remind me why I closed my Facebook account.
@HamBoi69 Sorry as I accidentally touched the negative vote and removed. Time for bed
@seamonkey: Sorry, I'm not following your first sentence. ALP has been in for years in VIC, QLD, and WA… So criticism of Dan by the majority of the country is by ALP voters, even if you don't count "500 hour" NSW.
Either way, ALP has unprecedented control of the country, so whatever policy is pushed over the next 3+ years is going to be overwhelmingly on their heads.
Nothing's really going to change as long as people keep voting these same 2 coalitions in…
