Universities never indoctrinated anyone. It’s simply that right wing views don’t survive critical thought or serious scrutiny.
And it’s really easy to call everything a conspiracy when you don’t know how stuff works.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

How about why Mamdani won is because everyone is tired of tepid, politically safe policies?

Like from Labor.

And Labor too.
The Liberal Party:

"Trying to claim you are somehow committed to action on global heating with an increasingly convoluted policy formulation that appeases colleagues who say acting in line with scientific advice on climate change is “insane”?"

Yep, that's our Australian Liberal Party...

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Europeans about Mamdani:

“Normal. That’s the word,” Verbeek wrote in his newsletter, The Planet. “Here, taking care of one another through public programs isn’t radical socialism. It’s Tuesday.”

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’
Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

Yes, Howard purged the Liberal Party of moderates. Abbott, Morrison then Dutton steered the party even further to the right. The party is now neither liberal nor conservative.
There is no moderate Liberal Party left: its fascists and cookers wall to wall, and the odd idiot like Ley who hasn’t yet noticed. She is swimming with Nazi sharks.

One speculates that the ‘critical minerals’ deal struck with the #Trump regime by @albomp.bsky.social will be just another chapter in the Great Australian Resource Heist - containing obscenely generous one-sided commercial terms similar to those offered to the gas extraction cabal

I love this. In a way, it reminds me of the unidentified "Tank Man" who confronted a column of Chinese tanks on June 5, 1989, after the Tiananmen Square crackdown. Certain moments in history that stay with you forever.

Further to the bad shit outlined 👇 the @albomp.bsky.social gov's planning to relax like-for-like environment offsets & allow developers to pay to destroy (euphemistically called a 'restoration fund')

Look to NSW to see the track record of how well that approach works
