What a pair of clowns (ALP and LNP)…
Also I really hate TikTok.
There are currently no rules at either the state or federal level to stop political parties and candidates from using AI-generated material in election campaigns.

I can’t see the daily discussion topic, but it was something about Aus developing trends of USA politics. They’re already here. We have two republican parties.

I was being sarcastic. I meant republican in the American sense of being reactionary. The Labor party seems compromised by the mining lobby.
I’m struggling to understand what’s going on here, even if I click up to view context. If we’re talking “two republican parties” with a lower case R, I’d think that would be Greens and (some of) Labor.
If we’re talking about analogies to American politics, surely that would be LNP, One Nation, and United Australia Party, but the latter has just 1 Senator and zero state representatives, so maybe we’re ignoring it to get to 2 Republican parties. Or maybe they meant Liberal and National as two parties?

Allow me to focus on the anti-protest law.
How did that arise from the workers?
Isn’t industrial action a fotrm of protest?
@unionagainstdhmo
I’m not accusing the Labor party of popular sovereignty.
