>>73873510
Yeh hand out, gibme thats...make something useful, then you might get fucking paid.
Art? More like FART!
All I want to do is make 80k a year in a 9-5 office job and be able to buy a house that doubles in value every ten years. Is that really so much to ask?
Arts are pretty important desu, you don't want to stifle creativity and have a nation of robotic sperglords ala China.
The issue is that lefty retards over-evaluate its importance.
>People will stop enjoying the arts if the Government doesn't pay for it.
>arts """""industry"""""
Shit I was two minutes too late. What did he say about art? I'm an arts fag.
>>73873538

it's wasteful government expenditure
>>73873602
Well I'm already doing that a few times over to you, so evens I guess.
The point is, what should a government be spending money on. Stuff that corrects negative externalities and big ticket items for the "common good". I don't think a few paintings falls into that category.
Sarah Abo my newsfu
>>73873694
I don't think some dipshits investment property is where money should go and it's a staggering amount more than arts funding
>>73873646

Good. Maybe it'll stop them making shit art. Art is supposed to be funded by nobility anyway.
Look at the shit I have to deal with.

What am I watching, who are these faggots debating? Presidential candidates?

>>73873726
Yeh I don't disagree m8, I'd still have the investments without neg gearing. The point is that cash could go to something useful, instead of the arts.

Can anyone understand this?

Adelaide, near the corner of Morphett street and Hindley I think
poor wayne
Bloody hell, can that choose people who speak English
I cannot begin to describe the disdain I have for these people that are involved in "the arts" and are also often liberal and "environmentally conscious". I've known a few and they are the most selfish, self-absorbed people you'll ever meet. I honestly don't think it's about actually caring for the environment and trying to nake a difference as much as it's about making themselves feel superior to others.

a) Malcolm Turnbull is the leader of the Liberal Party (The equivalent to your Republican Party)

See you boys tonight suck down some of these at the local
>>73873937
They are naive, they truly think they know best and that those that disagree are either bigots or uneducated.
They either feel sorry for the opposition or are angered by the opposition. Lefties come in two moods, smug and outraged, they don't come in any other. Look at US """comedians""" for an example on how they operate.
They don't know what drives and forges a community, they don't know what motivates a love of country enough to die for it, they think pessimism and "warts and all" history which is really all warts is intellectual. They are natural losers, the moment their shrill voice stops cowing the Western World in the face of Islamic annihilation in the coming decades they will be written off as the most thoughtless ideology in history.

>>73874466
The problem with welfare is once people have that entitlement, any attempt to take away what is only supposed to have be a temporary safety net. This makes times of emergency a balancing act caught between what is necessary for survival and the masses of people who don't want things to change for the worse, so they will vote for whoever paints the most irresponsible fantasy possible.
>>73874600
Every Aussie on /pol/ preferred Tony Abbott because we're edgy.
>>73874642
Remember what happened a few years back?
>>73874600
He's the more conservative, but he's still a globalist banking shill. I can't say for everyone here, but I'd rather him over Shorten (red tie) as PM. I don't like either though.
>>73874600
he's better than the other guy, he's conservative.
>>73874659
this
>>73874600
i despise them both
>>73874600
We're all voting for the Justice Party
>>73874679
>>73874678
>Liberals
>Conservative
Fuck off. Both parties are practically on the left now.
>>73874600
Fuck no. We just are far more wary of Shorty because he is more susceptible to identity politics and the open borders meme. Turnie is just the Globalist shill suit we are used to.
We will vote for anti-immigration meme parties whilst waiting for Nationalism and disasters in Europe to spark the country-first mentality we have been missing.
>>73874659
It's because we're hard right, or at least prefer hard right to any other "mainstream" positions
>>73874658
The other problem is that few decades, successive governments have been making policies based on "no disadvantage" - that is, no one ever loses money.
Obviously this strategy has a finite lifetime...
>>73874651
Yeah I get it
>>73874659
Is he out? Are these the last two?
This red tie guy just said climate change is a national priority, ekek.
Pretty sure I get it.
>>73874678
>>73874679
>>73874702
Got it, anon said it right, it's like me voting for Rubio or Bush over Clinton.
>>73874723
Read carefully, I said he's the more conservative.
>>73874600
Well that was boring as shit. They may as well have been clones of each other.
Bill did alright but I'm tipping Malcolm won the debate.
>>73873941
Turnbull is the equivalent of a RINO/Liberal Republican.
He is the most Left wing leader of a Right Wing Party Australia has ever had, and that includes people who have defected from Labor to be PM, like Billy Hughes and Joseph Lyons.
That was actually an alright debate.
>>73874765
No. The red tie guy pretty much "overthrew" Abbott out of office. Like Julia Gillard did with Rudd.
We haven't had a PM serve a full term since John Howard in 2007.
A'ight m8's here's a revision of the bingo after watching the debate
It wasn't really a debate, it was more like a discussion. Nonetheless, I think Malcolm did better.
>>73874723
relatively conservative
>>73874600
We have a choice between sneaky jew who want to fuck the system so we will never be able to afford our own homes.
or
Guy who wants to open the borders and double the amount of refugees we take in and give all our homes to refugees.
I'd rather be homeless with no refugees than homeless and surrounded by even more muslims.
>>73874844
sorry i meant blue guy or whoever the guy on the right side of the screen was i can't fucking remember
>>73874600
Nah, there's a difference between being conservative and believing trickle-down economics actually works, I'm with Shorten this election
>'Labour left us with a mountain of debt'
>but mr turnbull didn't the debt increase under the liberals
>'but jobs and growth'
>>73874807
how so? i find them both false - they were shadowboxing, unwilling to risk a real move. shorten is gutless and will lose this election quietly - it's a shame LNP are ahead because Turnbull is capable of some Trump-style nastiness if he needs it
>>73874719
Can you stop shilling for Derryn Hinch's feminist party?

>LDP

>>73874844
"Overthrew" that's confusing, in the U.S a president has to be impeached, a pretty serious process. How does it work in AU?
>>73874871
Yeah man, that's a shitty choice, I feel you. The last couple of U.S elections have been like that. Better of two evils.
>>73874993
Not until Labor and Liberal are done
>>73874600
They're both equally bad, just that Prepbull's kind of kept in check by the more right-wing members of the party. Whereas Labor are virtue signallers.
>>73875079
I got no idea lol, I think a vote inside the party
>>73875009
It's a two party system mate, I don't agree with labour's immigration policy but it's not the deciding factor of every election and I think they've got the better policies this time around
Their refusal to ally with the Greens is promising at least
>>73875079
We don't have a President - the leader of the house is the Prime Minister and fulfils the role of President. The party with the most members in the house can choose to change leader at any time...so now you know how we had 5 Prime Ministers in 5 years
>>73875079
On the bright side Australian politics always follow American trends, so Trump rising and possible win will be a massive perhaps terminal blow to Globalist interests.
On the other hand we do not pick our nominees for PM of a Party directly, thus it is really difficult for a Populist candidate like Trump to rise to a seat, let alone the PM position.
our nationalist meme parties are the way to go
cottrell is a sick cunt
>>73875079
>in the US, you vote for a President, not the party
>in Straya, you vote for the party, not necessarily the Prime Minister
Basically members of the Liberal party had some sort of 'referendum' and voted Based Tones out, in favour of Malcolm "It is important that we promote and encourage Islam" Turncuck.
Note that the Labor Party did the same thing twice, hence why we haven't had a single prime minister representing a voted in party since '07.
>>73875183
Immigration is the deciding factor of which countries live or die this century m8. We need to secure ourselves NOW, risking a possible recession is fine so long as we don't dissolve into """"diversity"""" that splits nations such as Germany or UK.
The whole point of Turnbull's leadership spill was that he thought he'd lead the country to prosperity and he'd inspire economic confidence.
However this latest budget is recycled Abbot/Hockey polices.
He's ditched a GST increase.
He's U-turned on fixing the bracket creep problem.
He's scrapped any attempts at fixing GST so all states get a fair share.
He's a disappointment and I'm underwhelmed by Turnbull.
>>73875261
Not One Nation though, they don't even know what the TPP is.
>>73875261
libs are nationalist enough with their border policies, australia first mentality..
it was labor greens who were globalists, wanting to fight the whalers, wanting to lead the pack with the green energy fraud. they were always comparing australia with the rest of the world like it matters or was relevent. don't throw your vote away on some obscure nobody who won't get elected, and even if they did, would have little to no power now that the senate election rules are changed.
>>73874314
Any cunts in queensland?
>>73875183
immigration is literally the only reason I'm voting for the Libs, I'd rather Malcolm's shilling instead of Bill's "Rapefugees Welcome" bullshit
>>73875428
Yeah me
>>73875382
One Nation is a joke and a possible false-flag to discredit future Nationalist Parties by association.
What is the most anti-immigration party we got lads, I'm going all in on stopping the muzzies from enriching my brains on the wall.
>>73875365
i'm no economics expert but as long as the economy is healthy then thats the main thing
the rest is just trivial trivia
>>73875365
This is why I never understood the joy over Prepbull's succession. The policies have practically been the same since he took over except for the minor shit like the knights and dames. If Labor even had a decent opposition leader they would absolutely smash this election, which they could still win, but Shorten somehow manages to be more uninspiring than both Abbott and Prepbull.
Who should I vote for?
>>73875321
>>73875434
single issue voters literally ruin countries
>>73875505
Preference smaller parties first then finish up with Liberal.
>>73875475
They're all pretty bad by /pol/'s standards. But if you don't mind Zionism, Rise Up is the way to go, I think the ALA too.
>>73875211
Indeed I do, that sounds like an endless grasp for power. At least in the U.S a president is guaranteed 4 years to show us what he's got. How can AU still be standing with such an unstable system that can change leadership from whim to whim?
>>73875260
So your nominees are just thrown at you? In the U.S we have primaries, where x number of Republicans fight to get voted as the nominee to run for president, same with democrats. Who ever gets the most votes on each side, wins the primary, and then the two winners fight each other in the general election. How does it work in AU? You're party picks the nominees for you?
>>73875538
This is the ultimately realistic vote.
>>73875575
>You're party picks the nominees for you?
Yes. Not that it matters anyway 'cause they change their mind whenever they want.
>>73875533
Mass Immigration is the single issue that matters, at least it isn't some shitty issue like Gay Marriage that decides some peoples vote.
I just need to keep the worst at bay until the pendulum swings back.
>>73875493
Yeah Abbott/Hockey imo were much more pragmatic at reducing spending and debt, but were cursed with an unruly senate, that opposed everything out of protest. And a message that had poor delivery.
>>73875453
cant really be fucked going into the city, any good pubs around?
>>73875407
i get where you are coming from. i'm just trying hard to remember if the labor years or the liberal years were better. coalition are definitely first preference out of the big 3 (coalition, labor, greens). my local LNP member is a bit of a chump though.
>>73875428
me too m8
>>73875575
Yep, I have never admired America's Political System recently until Trumps rise, now I see it as far superior to both ours and the UK. Where the voters vote goes into a nefarious party that has its own politics and backstabbing for who gets to be the face.
>>73875625
Good point. Once the pendulum swings back, it isn't really viable to repeal gay marriage.
>>73875493
It was "Oh boy we're gonna get in on what Europe is doing" then it all turned to shit way too fast and reactionary groups popped up. That and it was so we could sign the fucking TPP and paris deal.
>Tfw Abbott went to climate change conferences and bragged about how he slaughtered Labours emissions trading schemes
>>73875685
>>73875453
>>73875428
Where are we going?
>>73875725
This is why Abbott was so based
>>73875706
I couldn't give a shit less about Gay Marriage, I couldn't give a shitless about weed. I just want assurance that a hundred years from now the Australian culture and accent hasn't been run off entirely by a flood of foreigners, who do not see themselves as Australian but as conquerors from another country here to change the way things work.
>>73875645

M8s that sounds fucked. What's to stop corporations from infiltrating the party, whichever party it is, or both, and projecting candidates they've already made backdoor deals with?
I assume you vote to elect the members of the house, right? So you vote them because you trust their judgment to pick a good nominee etc...
But you vote in the people who select your nominee right? There has to be some semblance of democracy.
>>73875862
This. If the homos would just fuck off with the rest of the baggage identity politics brings I would be fine with giving them the chance to lose half their shit.
You would think they of all people would realize what a threat Islamic immigration is, why is it only Milo seems to be aware of what will happen to gays in the UK when Islam becomes the dominant religion?
Where were you when Labor was kill?

Absolutely nothing, which is of course why the liberals have turned into shameless Globalist shills for TPP and Labour have turned into the attack dogs for the INCREDIBLY corrupt unions.
Nobody wants to talk about the fucking greens.
The people in house vote for who is PM, they get this information by judging the polls, which change depending on how much exposure they get. This is why we have gone through 5 Prime Ministers without one of them serving a full term.

Man, Australians seem based from my travels abroad to Europe. I met a lot of Aussies; funny, witty, good stuff, seems like a great culture. But based on your politics, the only reason no one has invaded you yet is because no one wants that shit desert island land. Have an actual war, and realize what it means to defend yourselves and the freedoms you stand for.
God I love the U.S, as fucked as we are, we were founded by standing for something. 1776.

What the hell do you guys want?

We will be fine, we have just gone soft in the head because its been so long since we have had something to truly unite behind and fight against.
Wait until Islam beings the warpath in Europe, then you will see some serious shit stirring in the Southern Oceans.

Tumblrinas are upset no matter what.
You could hand them a million dollars and they'd say you pay-raped them.

I don't have children. But if all my salary went strictly to putting my children in child care, it would make sense just to quit my job and raise the children myself.

Interesting: I wonder if artists may NEED to be self-absorbed in order to be artists: Picasso; Dali?
>>73877126
Precisely. So worrying about how what you do will affect them is utterly pointless.

I want to be able to defend mine and my families lives by any means necessary. Not pay for a licence to carry fucking pepper spray.

No need to be rude, mate. It isn't often you see a genuine question from a Yank on /pol/ - ease up.
Whomever is helping me edit that r/australian policy page is a real true blu m8 and I would welcome to have a beer with anytime.

Like Hell we did. Tony A was and remains a disaster. His only redeeming feature is he DID NOT become a priest... can you imagine him with sinners or children? Shudder.

Absolutely nothing - our major parties are basically owned by private entities.

Spoken like someone who knows very little about what Australians have done in conflicts around the world - INCLUDING in Vietnam. Remember that one?
And are you saying we are not 'real' because you had a war for independence and we didn't? So, do you think your founding fathers wouldn't have opted for a way to become independent that avoided war if they had a choice?
And our little island is only a chunk smaller than the continental USA. So you have fun in your little country: go get shot while shopping or something.

What the fuck no I'm saying that cunt is a gay cunt.
Derryn Hinch only has two policies, gay rights and feminist rights.
His party is bullshit. He says they stand against pedophilia and domestic violence. Every cunt is against that. There's no party supporting that shit.

Current laws are fucked and we're drafted by city dwellers.
Our current system does nothing to deter violent/dangerous persons and just collects revenue.
There are more than 7 classes of license, all covered by a cluster fuck of beaurocracy - the system actually has built in paperwork delays - not waiting periods, but just weeks where the paperwork is not legally allowed to be filed.
The PTA system is stupid as all hell - you already have a license, why would you need another permit?
And then, the arbitrary banning of guns that scare people.
What we, the sporting public, want is:
>One license - covers everything from A through H.
>Paperwork delays removed.
>PTA to be eliminated.
>Licenses should no longer require a land owner's letter or "genuine reason".
>Licenses should have more modern safety courses, as current approved courses teach unsafe handling and unsafe practices for competition shooting.
>Licenses should require an ASIO background check instead of just a national police check.
>Licenses should require a mental health examination - the cost of which is easily offset by scrapping the PTA system.

>So how do the people in the house get there, are they elected? You basically elect officials to decide on your behalf, kind of like the U.S with state representatives in congress?
Parliament is just like congress. Parliament is a legislature. In a Westminster system (Aus, UK, etc.) the legislature decides the executive (Prime Minister and the cabinet) by majority vote.
Anyone can nominate to run for a House seat with enough signatures, and parties can endorse one candidate in the election for any given seat.

I wish you were drafting our laws. Why is it always people who don't know anything about the topic that do.
If you aren't editing r/australia's publicly open summary of parties page then you aren't a real aussie lads.

Because our politics is dominated by soccer mums and city dwellers who can't comprehend life outside their little bubble.
