    I wish Labor would tackle real actual social problems with progressive policies instead of these dumb virtuous deeds that just distance conservatives.

    West Aus won the last election for Albo buy that’s not gonna happen this time. Regional WA is seething over the live export ban.

    LNP will just repeal it anyway. It will cost them and election and ultimately achieve nothing.

      Centrists will um and aw over any positive change, but never look at challenging a right wing policy.

    Let’s start by banning horse racing for a start and all these gambling ads

    Next, fucking nobody cares about the Melbourne cup. Just throw a large party without the horses, keep the alcohol, keep the public holiday, and nobody will give a crap horses aren’t getting injured. I

    And all the rich pricks can still claim it as a business expense or whatever to keep them happy and get tax payers to pay for their private planes to go

      Let’s do human races, get the jockeys to ride the rich people and the rich people win the money. Cuts costs on hay and stables and shit.

        It’s funny you say that.

        I normally propose we get a bunch of drunk people to race and bet on them instead. You need a minimum bac to compete
