samenome<p>Dear Tony Lupton and Michael Danby. I see that you'd like Josh Burns anfrom the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ALP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ALP</span></a> to win <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Macnamara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Macnamara</span></a>. <br>OK. (I'd prefer the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Greens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greens</span></a> to win it, but ... whatevs).<br>I see you're really worried that the preferences might edge Josh out, and that you want people to vote "1. ALP ..." rather than "1. Green, 2.ALP"</p><p>I see your problem. But really, sidling up to Advance ain't the way to go. I'll give you a hint: how has sidling up to NewsCorp gone? It isn't good, is it? They have no friends for a reason. You are not their friend. They are not yours.</p><p>Here is my <br>Home Remedy for the <br>Prevention of Greens Votes:<br>1. Act on <a href="https://aus.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a>.<br>2. Help <a href="https://aus.social/tags/refugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>refugees</span></a> and the poor.<br>3. Do something to protect <a href="https://aus.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a>.</p><p>You don't need to go full on dictatorship-of-the-proletariat. Do those three (actually, for many Greens voters, just the top one would do) and Josh keeps his seat. No wukkas.</p><p>So simple. Not a biggie, not difficult, definitely not 3D Chess. Put the sock puppets away you bloody gooses.</p>
quackademic<p>From Laura Tingle: this week has been an assessment of basic competence.</p><p>In which the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ALP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ALP</span></a> shows it can perform actual governance alongside campaigning for reelection, while the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Libs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Libs</span></a> demonstrate incompetence at both. Independent candidates, please take note.</p><p>I wonder for how long the media <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DistractionMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DistractionMachine</span></a> can effectively obscure this? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-05/potential-economic-consequences-australia-trump-policies-now/105139692?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-04-05/pot</span><span class="invisible">ential-economic-consequences-australia-trump-policies-now/105139692?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=other</span></a></p>

(of course, they can continue to do what they have always done which is to simply not give jobs to women and marginalised people, but same job same pay does remove an excuse for ripping people off if they do have a job)</p><p>so… what does <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LNP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LNP</span></a> plan to do about it? if the party says they will repeal it but Dutton says he won’t, whom should we trust?

Sou<p>Is everyone sitting in Federal Parliament really this out of touch?</p><p>"Federal Education Minister Jason Clare said the country needed more young people to understand how democracy worked.</p><p>"This is why I've boosted funding for school students to get out of the classroom and visit Parliament House and the War Memorial.

In later years, talk about voting, lobbying and how legislation is developed - consultation, green papers, white papers, cabinet submissions, parliament. The role of govt and opposition. The three arms - executive, legislative and judicial branches. Constitutions and Acts of Parliament, regulations etc etc.</p><p>Maybe followed by a visit to a local council meeting (or state parliament if it's close by), the local cop shop, a local magistrates court. This could be supplemented by q&amp;a visits from parliamentarians of different parties, a judge/magistrate or two, a lawyer or two, a policeman or two, a public servant or three, an electoral office person, and some time watching federal parliament on tele.</p><p>All of the above might be OTT, but some of it would be quite useful and informative IMO.
