Preface this that I’m not a member of the party nor am I as educated in the parties history as many of their internet fanatics appear to be, though we did vote for them last election, and before that, and before that etc etc.
It is not (or atleast I hope not) an fundamentally American party, and we certainly aren’t an American country. The Labor party and it’s affiliates are the only use of the ‘-or’ spelling of the word in Australia every other usage of the word Labour uses the proper spelling of ‘-our’. The only reason it was kept was because people like King O’Malley and Andrew Inglis Clark were either born in America or active members of “American Societies” that activated everything between American style republicanism all the way to Australia joining the United States.
There’s this idea that the kept the ‘-or’ spelling as respect to America’s contribution to the Australian Labour movement. If you ask me what you are reading here is the contribution. Some whiny uni educated silver spoons who wanted to bend Australia to their will and force it to their fantasy that essentially amounted to being Yankyboos. The Labour movement was overwhelmingly fought on the ground by people who saw themselves as Australians fighting for the betterment of Australia
It is an Australian party. The current world situation of American jingoism and destructive economic and cultural influence should be a wake up call. Is it a deal breaker? Obviously not. Would I rather vote for the Labour Party (🇦🇺🌹) instead of the lAboR pARtY (🇺🇸🇺🇸🍟🍔🗽🗽💥)? Yeah actually I would.
Atleast put it up for a vote to people who are actual members of the party. Stop clinging to some cooked idea of American excellence.
I've made an easy to digest summary of everything in this budget! Share around, and let me know if I've missed anything.
AUSSIES became ETF and property hoarders because the LNP government made it the path of least resistance to wealth. When the tax code rewards speculation over labour, society stops producing doctors and entrepreneurs, and starts producing paper-millionaire rent-collectors.
The current whinging isn't about protecting "the economy" or "innovation", it is the panic of an entitled investor class realizing they might actually have to start businesses, take real risks, or rely on actual productivity to secure a paycheck.
Had a good lol at this one, guess Facebook algorithm knows how to follow up a post. 😂 Surely Betoota could make a story out of the double standards of manufactured outrage of Dan vs Scomo here.
