They started out with reasonable pitches like fixing housing and high speed trains but now they’re also talking about double fees for international students and cutting immigration by 80%… the mask is slipping. The real agenda emerges.
Its a strange contrast. A fast train to major regional towns would be amazing, who wouldn’t want that? Sounds great. But the Trump part of trumpets is the real agenda. I’m pretty sure they won’t get enough votes to get a lower house seat. Even though the ads are annoying I’m kinda happy Clive is wasting his money and is gonna be disappointed on election day.
Yeah, having high speed rails between hubs could help with urban sprawl and housing affordability, job deserts… (if that project actually gets delivered)
Plenty of people would want that. So many.
But it’s the ‘wholesome’ foot in the door for some very nasty stuff. “See, we’re the ones that care about your housing and your jobs! Now look at who is taking them away from you!”
And not everyone will spot that :( Particularly desperate lower income people in times of recession. Particularly if the message is delivered repetitively in simple words and ‘telling it how it is’.
I sure hope he publicly falls on his trumpet. But yeah. Nobody is immune to going down a pipeline.
“Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood”
Culture wars are already being and have been imported to Australia from America and now also the UK. All I can hope is that it doesn’t get as big here.
They are. They keep texting me.
