  He doesn’t have morals. He’s another corporate boot licker with a vague excuse.

      I see. You aren’t interested in engaging with reality.

      Labor has no good reason to open fossil fuel extraction projects years after we’re meant to be beyond that. The fact that you’re just deciding the story is fake is incredibly telling…

      The salmon farming thing was indeed an election promise. It was also pure fucking evil, that’s my entire point. Albo sentenced an entire species to extinction for politics. How do you not see the problem here?

      America does own us! Because of spineless politicians who keep bending to their will. We don’t have to be where we are now, we don’t have to keep propping up a self justifying system of death. We should never act like any of this is even slightly okay. I don’t understand how you aren’t outraged at the fact that this is all happening for nothing more than greed.

      The systems you’re using to justify this aren’t actually justifications, they’re mechanisms fullfilling their intended purpose.

    Yeah, we’re much better off with…

      Yes, my entire point is obviously that we should just bend over and accept evil because someone else might be a bit worse. /s

      You can’t go around giving people a free pass for being spineless and corrupt just because someone else is worse. That’s literally the reason the system slides further and further right. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

      Would I rather have Albo? Sure. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a turd who’s actively making it worse under the guise of electoral reform and it sure doesn’t mean we should accept it. Do you want a two party system? Because this is how we get one.

        So angry - I think he is doing the best he can.
        Can’t find the link but friendlyjordies was not a fan of that Australia institute report, or much else they do.
