Maybe it's people need to listen to the science first?
Australia deserves everything it has gone through after purposely voting in PMs to 'scrap the carbon tax' and recently the guy bringing coal into parliament saying there is nothing to fear.
- lurker2823 7y agothe coal incident was not recent. educate yourself.
- LeonB 7y agoThe comment means that they recently “voted in” the guy who (previously) brought a lump of coal into parliament.
- WizardAustralis 7y agoIn some ways it kind of makes it worse that we knew a bit about who he was come election time. Truth be told, Scomo was barely a figure anyone would have recognized until he was suddenly PM. He was there in the shadows but few would have picked him to be our next PM. The re-election however I get the feeling that was a bit down to people starting to feel the pressure from a slowing economy. With that many were voting to ensure a system they knew even if not ideal. Better the devil you know than to try their hand on an nearly unknown candidate. I don't really know, there is so much noise in the political space nowadays that it is difficult to get much signal out of it.
- lurker2823 7y agohe won because people were afraid of what Shorten and his cronies were saying they would do, in my mind it's a bit of a 'stuck in between a rock and a hard place'
- jaimex2 7y agoThis is true, I hate that our election system boils down to just two parties in the end even if we do use preferential voting.
- tomglynch 7y ago'the guy' is our prime minister. Australian's are too easily manipulated by the Murdoch media.
