The lie that the LNP are better at running the economy than the ALP has been repeated now for generations. Tell the same lie enough and people will believe it. Especially under the current corrupt LNP crop, the economy is barely treading water while mates and donors make bank.
I think the whole “LNP are better economic managers” is total BS, anybody who still believes this needs to stop reading newspapers and watching TV news. However the whole concept needs a re-think. This thread relates to the US, but relevant here also.

Regardless of whatever sentence Brendan Nugent receives for attacking Helen Haines I'd be in favor of having his legs surgically removed as a forever reminder of the harm he has inflicted on another human being.*
*Unless it's clinically proven he was intellectually incapacitated

🔺Threatening election officials with criminal prosecution
🔺 Pressuring states to remove voters from the rolls
The suit comes just a week after Trump’s DOJ sued California.

Dunno’ what Hanson’s on about? If Boag’s made a decent brew they wouldn’t have to shut down. & beergut Barnaby would know that? Besides, she used party funds to build a shed on Ashby’s farm to start a boutique brewery, which will be opposition to all beers! @abcnews 😇😇😇

The High Court of New Zealand has ruled a blanket ban on puberty blockers for trans youth in the country is unlawful.
The regulation, due to take effect in December last year, would have prevented doctors from prescribing puberty blockers to new patients experiencing gender dysphoria or gender incongruence.
But in a judgment handed down on Wednesday, the court found the Health Minister’s decision was unlawful and the regulations should be set aside.
Justice Dale La Hood said it was “a discriminatory and disproportionate response” and there was “overwhelming clinical support” for the use of puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria.
"Youth requiring treatment for gender dysphoria/incongruence are being denied access to clinically appropriate medicine to which their peers have access for different conditions,” the judgment said.
The Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa (PATHA) brought the case against the NZ Ministry of Health over the ban.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event
Here's a supercut:

Watch the setup, not the show. For seven months they've drilled one word into the base: fraud.
“Democrats steal your money.”
Now, there's a federal tip line, cash rewards, and ONE man who decides what counts.
Swap "your money" for "your vote" and the machine is already built.
That's the tell.
The fraud claim signals exactly how they will attack the election in an attempt to “win.”
They will declare enough votes as fraudulent to attempt the steal the election.
That’s my bet on one of the most aggressive ways they go about this.
“ONE” of.

This is the most likely AI apocalypse scenario, imo.

I took the liberty of isolating Trump's latest lashing of a WH reporter, to focus in on just how psychotic this fat, wrinkled old blithering imbecile, has become.

We all know that illegal Slovakian hates his guts with a passion. Melania has a lot on her plate since she’s technically here illegally and she knows more than most what Trump is capable of”

What the UK Is Doing to Pro-Palestine Novelist Sally Rooney Is an Act of Orwellian Villainy
‘… It was the government of Keir ‘Israel has a legal right to cut water and electricity to Palestinians’ Starmer, laughably, a former human rights lawyer, that proscribed it under the UK Terrorism Act 2000, placing it on the same footing as al-Qaeda. By pledging her earnings to Palestine Action, Rooney placed herself at risk of arrest if she enters the UK. Now, her publishers can’t pay her for her work, and she’s been forced to withdraw all her books from sale in the UK. It is an extraordinary act of Orwellian villainy, censorship, and oppression by the UK. If they can shut down one of the most popular writers of her time, what other line won’t they cross?
It is an absurdity so mind-bending to think that today the current president of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who rampaged through Syria as the commander of the al-Qaeda offshoot Jabhat al-Nusra, could land in the UK and be received at 10 Downing Street, but Sally Rooney could be arrested on arrival on terrorism charges.’

Over the next few weeks, people in the MSM will point the finger at social media for fuelling political violence and sexism in Australia.
What they won't do is hold a mirror up to themselves, or to the politicians fuelling it.
The rot in this country starts here. 👇🏼
