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’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?

Tagging @stepchook@mastodon.au, your interlocutor, for visibility.

Yeah I meant to include a “/s” because I’d probably associate Greens, Labor and around the “Malcolm Turbull” part of the Liberals with the Democrats, and the Nationals, One Nation, UAP and the rest of the Liberals with the Republicans

@Zagorath @unionagainstdhmo
Allow me to focus on the anti-protest law.
How did that arise from the workers?
Isn’t industrial action a fotrm of protest?

I genuinely don’t have any clue what you’re trying to say here, sorry.

I love most things about the labor party, but the anti-protest laws passed on their watch. The law is undemocratic and does not represent my rights as a worker. Democracy under attack https://www.hrlc.org.au/news/2024/07/03/protest-peril
