Here here an election is near and what better way to express your thoughts at the current Government or our industrious leader on a bin.

If you want better ones they will cost you

https://www.redbubble.com/shop/scott+morrison+pm+stickers
https://shop.australianunions.org.au/products/scomo-bumper-s…

From the Council. If you want them free Contact Lindsay.

You can bulk order them to a single address for free (just let me know quantities) or people can pay as little as $1 $5 $10 $5 for a pack via the donation link. There's also the option to pay another amount.

Mod - Description edited. Donation minimum is now $5 $10 $5 (custom field) instead of $1. Free stickers are via email only (according to information above). We'll consider the donation part expired due to the minimum price increase, we assume they are still available for free unless told otherwise (please report if so).

Mod - This deal meets our posting guidelines & there have been previous similar deals posted. #1 Stop Adani Sticker Pack, #2 Start Adani Sticker Pack, #3 Australian Greens Bumper Sticker, #4 Free Tote Bag Delivered From Sam Hibbins MP.

As always, votes need to be made within the voting guidelines. Any negative vote without an explanation given (e.g. "agree" or "no deal") will be revoked by a moderator as per this list. Neg votes for any other reason won't be removed by a mod. These are verbatim phrases.

        What should have been said- ‘posting the gif in hindsight wasn’t the best idea’.
        What was actually said- ‘OP posted on a weekday so for that reason it gets to stay’.

        I don’t know the ins and outs of Koorong but if it is a religious organization that is sitting pretty because of no tax and charity donations and all that jazz I am more then happy for koorong deals to be banned.
        If religious people think they and they alone own Christmas they are a sadder bunch of people then I originally thought. Christmas in Australia has moved away from a Jesus song and dance spectacle to a time for all people of all races and religion to spend time with family.
        Distinct difference between your political examples is that they are clear satire or biographies not political advertising (which could not be clearer with this post). I can appreciate you taking the time to find examples but in my opinion you are not even close to comparing apples to apples.

      • RockyRaccoon on 11/01/2022 - 11:28

        Neil - within 5 minutes the OP showed their hand. They posted a link to an obscene redit post. Like the mods I didnt initially look at that link.

        However I am not a mod and as you said the whole team discussed the post, before allowing it.

        Given that around 75 members liked this post, should have been a warning. It has now been removed. Probably that in itself if caught earlier might have stopped much of the anguish.

        As I said in other posts the OP wanted to create an issue, it resonates with the majority here as has done in many forum posts.

        However the genie is open anyone wanting to post free election stickers must surely be allowed to do so.

        Would that not include, all parties that have representatives standing for the Senate, plus all associated groups supporting political parties. Not just mainstream Lib/Lab/Greens/Nats but Shooters and Fishers (those who support more liberal gun laws), Clive, Craig Kelly etc

        Keeping the site free of Political promotions no matter how "innocent" keeps it as intended. Initially this might upset those who have their passionate beliefs but longer term it keeps it on track.

        There are always the forums and discussions in various posts (often off track but amusing) for political discourse and debate. No one would wish that to stop, if it could.

        Sockpuppeting etc is used not just on business sites but is rampant in community forums. Political parties play every game to push their agendas. This is a site that can be manipulated in that way. You have tools use them.

          Can't see any link to Reddit in any of the revision of the OP.
          If it was in the comments, you can just report it, it doesn't invalidate the whole post because it's from the same person.
          You're overthinking it.

            @ShouldIBuyIt: Whats there to over think

            When its removed its not available to be seen. Hence you cant see it.

            It was a post made 5 minutes after the original post. It got removed as it was offensive, but not before it got around 75 likes.

      This wouldn't surprise me. From what I know, the young liberals effectively operate as a troll farm. They generate memes and other content, and moderate official channels. Anyone who disagrees in the slightest is banned. What happened to democracy when discourse is shut down in that fashion?

          And no other political party does the same?

          I haven't seen the same behaviour from other political parties and I haven't seen complaints about being banned from other political party pages. The other political parties still seem to have critical comments on their pages whereas LNP pages are tightly moderated.

          Liberal/National party members also seem to be a lot more likely to have locked profiles or limited access for commenting. In many cases as sitting members of parliament.

    This was engineered to:
    * Test LESS cases
    * Detect LESS cases

      Albo is worse than this?:

      Showed evidence to a judge when prosecuting a case against a whistle-blower in a secret way such that the defendant cannot see the evidence used against him, and therefore is unable to fairly defend himself. source
      Introduced new police powers to spy on and hack innocent Aussies, without a warrant, even if they're not suspected of committing any crime. Powers include snooping, modifying, deleting and account takeover. The legislation was voted on only hours after giving it to the crossbenchers to review. The legislation was reviewed by intelligence groups, but no public interest privacy advocates. The legislation went against the government's own review into hacking powers. The government rejected a proposal to have a public interest advocate argue on behalf of the hacked person to balance privacy against safety. The argument is that if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide. Powers include removing two factor authentication on accounts, thereby making it easier for unrelated criminals to hack those Australians. source source source source source
      Refused to publish minutes from the national cabinet tackling COVID. After a judge ruled that it must be published, they introduced a new law to keep it secret. They argued that even though the cabinet has done nothing wrong, it should be able to hide discussion details from the public. source source source
      Lied by claiming new unprecedented police hacking laws would only apply to terrorists, paedophiles and drug traffickers, when their actual legislation says they can be used for crimes as benign as illegal gambling and illegal importing of fauna. source source
      Introduced legislation designed to make gig economy companies like Deliveroo report more tax information about their employees, which was so sloppily written that it means websites for booking doctor appointments would technically be required to ingest details about the patient such as their income, and then give that to the tax office. source
      Blocked a House of Representatives investigation into the source of a substantial donation to a minister's personal legal costs for a defamation prosecution, arguing that the anonymity and privacy of the rich donor must be protected. The procedure for blocking this investigation was unprecedented. The government has previously made the exact opposite argument when criticising a Greens minister who published only partial information about legal fee donors for her defamation case. source
      Proposed forced identification of all social media users, arguing that citizens should not be able to post comments on social media anonymously, and that ordinary, upstanding citizens have no need for anonymity. Citizens would have to upload passport and driver's license documents to OnlyFans before uploading or consuming content. Domestic violence victims would no longer be able to seek help on social media sites anonymously, without risking discovery by their abuser. Teens of conservative parents would no longer be able to ask questions about sex education and safe sex on social media anonymously, thereby deterring them from making safe, informed decisions. Closeted LGBT youth would no longer be able to seek support online anonymously without outing themselves. When this was tried in Korea the sensitive information was inevitably hacked. source source source source source
      Secretly pressured the United Nations to delete from their climate change report the claim that closing coal power plants is necessary to fight climate change, as well as deleting mentions of fossil fuel lobbyists successfully watering down climate change legislation and action in Australia. source
      Flew a mostly-empty plane home from Afghanistan as Kabul fell to the Taliban, leaving behind local translators who may be killed because they helped Australian soldiers. source source
      Lied by claiming that $90 million worth of oil for Australia's stockpile in the USA was bought at "record low prices". The oil was bought at 40 USD per barrel, around the time when prices plummeted to negative 37 USD per barrel, because the markets thought all oil storage facilities were full, but the Australian government actually had 23 million litres of empty storage space within a day's drive of the negative-priced oil. Had the Australian government actually bought at the record low, they would have been paid 90 million AUD to take oil off others' hands. source
      Handed free marketing opportunities to a private gas company by letting them take over some of Australia's stall at a global climate summit for world leaders. source
      Refused to sign a pledge to reduce methane emissions which was signed by 100 other countries. source
      Added red tape for business by forcing company directors to register for a special identifier through myGovID. This is supposed to make it easier for investors to track company directors as they move between companies. However the name, address, date and place of birth of directors is already recorded in a public database, which will be replaced with this new single 15-digit number. This attempt at transparency actually reduces the amount of information available to the public. source source
      Slowed down visa processing for families from Afghanistan by years, resulting in the families of Australian being stuck in Kabul as it fell under Taliban rule, when they would have been safe if the government's paperwork was as fast as for Europe or America. source
      Ran an expensive marketing campaign promoting a target of net-zero emissions by 2050, but then voted against legislating a net-zero target for 2050. The new "plan" involved no new laws, no new taxes, and nothing binding. The plan included fanciful estimates of carbon capture with trees and soil twice as high as the most optimistic peer reviewed research. source source source source source source
      Approved 3 new coal mines with record speed, and rejected new solar and wind farms with record speed. source

      Moved the role of Minister for Science and Technology to be held part-time by the Minister for Defence. source
      Proposed scrapping recovery plans for 200 endangered species, replacing them with documents that ministers are no longer legally bound to follow. source source

      Repeatedly refused to publish legal advice they received before implementing the robot-debt scheme (which has since been ruled to be illegal) source
      Changed the role of ASIC (the corporate cop), moving them away from prosecuting law-breaking companies to focusing on removing regulatory burdens, economic growth, and removing ASIC's independence by expecting them to consult with the government when enforcing the law. source
      Broke their own law by not conducting a report into the privacy impacts and effectiveness of the COVIDSafe app every 6 months. source
      Obscured millions of dollars of funding to a think-tank co-funded by private arms manufacturers, which primarily just creates anti-China sentiment and stirs up fears of war (which is good for those arms manufacturers). source
      Failed to deliver any new assets or infrastructure 2 years on after a big announcement about drones patrolling our maritime border. source
      Approved the majority of weapon export requests to countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE, who are accused of multiple war crimes in Yemen. The government was unable to rule out the possibility that these war crimes are being committed with Australian weapons. Despite approving most exports to these authoritarian regimes, they claim they have strict controls preventing weapons exports to authoritarian regimes. The government is keeping secret the information about who is selling billions of dollars worth of weapons, who they're sold to, what weapons, how much, and for what purpose. source source source source
      Increased marketing spend for weapons exports from $1 million per year to $20 million. source
      Allocated $660 million in funding for new car parks based on which electorates were marginal for the upcoming election instead of which areas most needed car parks. (i.e. pork barrelling) The National Audit Office found that the funding allocation was "not demonstrably merit-based" and "not designed to be open or transparent". The federal government did not talk to state governments or local governments to determine which areas were most in need of new car parks. 3 years after the announcement, the government had only managed to complete or start building 11% of the car parks. (This was uncovered by the same Audit Office who uncovered the sports funding pork barrelling and then had their audit funding cut.) source source source source
      Paid hundreds of millions of dollars to for-profit private companies to oversee and deliver COVID vaccine distribution, instead of using the existing, proven public pharmaceutical distribution system they already pay for. Many of these chosen companies are Liberal party donors, and the details of the contracts are kept secret. Rollout advice paid for by the government is being kept secret, so the public cannot tell whether it was worth paying for. source
      Tabled law amendments which would result in charities losing their tax deductible status if they tweet in support of public protests, or display their logo at a protest where the commissioner suspects an unaffiliated protestor has or might commit a minor offence such as blocking a sidewalk. source source
      Spent $600 million building a new gas power plant after the private sector decided it made no commercial sense to do so. source
      Kept secret the details of a $90 million payment for oil reserves. The volume of oil bought is secret. The price of the daily lease fees, filling fees, draw down fees, withdrawal fees and fee escalation process are secret. The seller of the oil is secret. source source
      Paid $2 billion to help keep private for-profit oil refineries open, which they claim will save consumers only 1 cent per litre when filling up their vehicle. source
      Paid $6.7 million in JobKeeper subsidies to a private company whose profits quadrupled during 2020, and which is half-owned by a foreigner via a shell company in the Bahamas. source
      Handed $1.34 billion to Qantas (a private company) for the purpose of creating jobs, but Qantas spent most of that paying redundancy packages while culling their workforce. source source
      Handed $38 billion in JobKeeper payments to companies who did not suffer significant downturn during COVID, and refused to ask for the money back once this became clear. source
      Underwrote surge costs on popular airline routes. That is, risk is being shouldered by the taxpayer, whilst profit is privatised. source
      Kept secret the arguments made by the government during an appeal for a whether a court case against a journalist should be secret. That is, the government does not even want people to know why their trial against truthful public-interest journalism will be secret. The government officials who committed the crimes reported by the journalist have not been charged. The original articles about the government's crimes are still public, despite the government claiming their publication somehow harmed national security. source
      Removed 3 out of 4 recommendations from a report investigating a blank-cheque payment to a private consultant which was made without even verifying that the service was delivered. source
      Spent $250,000 per month developing an NDIS app. They have no data about how many users wanted the app. source
      Illegally appointed a Liberal Party Senator to a high-ranking high-paying role at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The candidate was not eligible because she was not an enrolled legal practitioner. She has no experience in the field (social services and child support law). She will be paid $500,000 per year. The government lied by claiming she was appointed on merit, but the interviewers did not interview her, and did not recommend her. source

      That is a fraction of a almost 1000 dot-point list available on Achievements Of The Coalition Government. This list doesn't have anything from the last 6 months

    Unless you're happily living off the grid with clean energy, very hypocritical of anyone to point the finger at the govt. Don't like our energy? Don't use it. But you do…..

      Or unless you live in Tasmania or SA where more renewables than fossil fuels.

      I make 3x more energy than I use that gets put back into the grid too.

        Could you ever imagine an LNP Premier stringing together even a fraction of a coherent thought to attempt to rebuke a Labor treasurer? It's just not even feasible.

        SA has good days and bad days - last week they exported renewables for 4 days then imported coal power for the next 3. You cannot cherry pick stats just to suit your claims when you're not looking at the whole picture

      How can you make this comment more political?

  • Melbourne01 on 11/01/2022 - 10:42

    I am not sure if this voting system is quite right and honest. I tried to press negative (5 times), and each time the system popped up a note which indicated that I cannot vote negative and that I have to view guidelines. Each time I clicked on I confirm (and viewed guidelines) and yet the system didn't let me cast my negative vote. I thought this may be because the deal had expired so to try I clicked postive and to my surprise, the system accepted my postive vote promptly. This indicates a possible glitch in the system and if not, then atleast the system has been designed to promote postive votes over negative votes. I am sure not everyone got affected by it but even if there were few or one instance, it should be unacceptable. Anyways I don't care much either ways but wanted to give this feedback.

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 11/01/2022 - 10:44

      186 people managed to neg that deal.
      "You must have at least one published comment with a valid reason for your negative vote."
      Pretty straightforward. You need to comment first, then you can neg, no need to go into complot theory mode.
