As I said at the time, the Australian electorate's choice at the last election was between "crazy guy who will be terrible in unpredictable ways" and "racist sexist homophobic Christian who will be terrible in racist sexist homophobic Christian ways".
Which is what it got. Abbott was a tenacious pitbull 19th-century Opposition Leader who was just totally unqualified to be leader of a diverse 21st-century Australia. As was put so eloquently by one journalist today: |

I don't follow Aussie politics a lot, but I wonder about the pressures that led to Gillard being dropped and how much of that was generated by the same support that led Abbott to be elected.
I mean, maybe she was unstable too? What I did know about her I mostly liked. It seems Australia might benefit from female leadership.

Gillard was dropped and Abbott was elected for the same reason. Kevin Rudd's a fucking cunt.

Salim Mehajer is a fine upstanding member of the Western Sydney immigrant Middle-Eastern community and his family has no ties whatsoever to organised crime.

Australian politics is dominated by the wishes of a small group of old white male racist Christians. There isn’t many of them but their votes determine government. Mention climate change and they arrange for you to be knifed.
That, and for the past few cycles the knifer hasn’t had the balls to take the knifee out into the desert with a shovel. When Key took over from Brash, Key didn’t let Brash stick around. Same thing when Clark rolled Moore. But in Oz we’ve had Abbott knife Turnbull but allow him to stay an MP; Gillard knife Rudd but allow him to stay an MP; Turnbull knife Abbott but allow him to stay an MP; and every time the knifee has used that opportunity to plot, and do deals, and snipe, and plan revenge. The c-c-c-combo breaker was Gillard, who got revengeknifed by Rudd and promptly left politics with her dignity and reputation intact. |

$75 million in taxpayers' money to find that:
- The 2 main regulating bodies will continue to be weak on big banks because of the gaps between ASIC / APRA (No real oversight of bad banks) - Truly independent mortgage brokers will be immediately dropped / blocked by banks and must now extract fees from customers because they are "not independent enough". Bought mortgage brokers can be kept on the books and may continue pushing their #1 bank's products until 2021! - Big banks will push harder on their direct-to-customer mortgage and credit products. - Smaller banks without branches will be unable to compete because they can't buy out brokers, don't have the branches to handle the paperwork, and their competitive loan terms won't see the light of day because business from independent brokers will slow down. - RBA emerges unscathed despite putting in place the incentive structures that brings about this shitty behaviour. No mandate to split the financial advice / banking operations.... the banks are doubling down on cross-selling so they hold your money, but they encourage you to gamble on it at the same time. Fuck. that. Last edited by Nich : 6th February 2019 at 13:18. |
