Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This probably won't bite the ALP as hard in the next election since Zionism isn't as tied to Australia as much as the US or UK, so I think this is a smart move (even if doomed to fail due to US veto) but they really need to do more for the working class than pay lip service to (some) unions if they want to avoid what happened in QLD to repeat on the national scale.
Boy Boy/ididathing/FriendlyJordies can do what they can to influence the online zoomers/millennials but they actually need to address the working class proper if they want to go against Rupert Murdoch et al.
It's a fucking dire situation when your strongest leftists are three YouTubers
The leftists you hear about are youtubers because they're celebrities. There's stronger leftists offline
I wouldn't use Queensland as a barometer for the country, Labor were in power for ~29 of the last 34 years, while voting Liberal every election except 1990 and 2007
Meanwhile they also put a three out of four Greens in the lower house federally last election
Agree overall though, the 50 cent transport fares, school lunches etc. proposals were all very popular and saved Labor from a wipe out.
