Laws to regulate misinformation online abandoned, gambling advertising ban pushed to next year

Not even our first rodeo. Both of our major parties are abhorrent on digital rights.

Yes but you don't understand. It's all to save the children, man

Jokes aside, I don't understand what's happening at all. The gambling ad restrictions are a good thing, imo, but the misinformation bill was just going to cause trouble, as is this ridiculous social media age verification hoo haa they're trying to implement

We're doing out best cunt

they have done a fair bit of spending on infrastructure but unfortunately it's all small target managerial stuff making repairs after LNP ransacking.

The urgent care clinics are great, but they're the only visible structural thing they've done. Core "values" have been abandoned in favour of entrenching a 2 party system and winning the next election. Which presumably will be magically different and they'll be able to properly work?

The Shit Party and the Shit-Lite Party are both too regressive. Albo is not being progressive but Dutton would be even worse, dragging us kicking and screaming into a second Great Depression.

We need a viable third Party.

Can everyone remember in the 1990s when the Democrats held the balance of power and were able to Keep the Bastards Honest?

The Greens aren’t an option, because they are too head-in-the-clouds to be able to maintain the economy.

Don't worry. Instead of forcing social media to fight disinformation, they'll force you to upload your ID, make it easier for them to data mine you, and improve the disinformations success rate.

Just neoliberal governance things...

They have teeth.

They just use them on Unions and the Working Class now.
