So who do you think is more Right, limiting yourself to current sitting SA MPs in either state or federal parliament, either house, not necessarily Liberal. I don't care. You make it sound like you're hunting these people who don't conform to your 'progressive' agenda. It's a little creepy tbh. No ...

You brought him up not me. This is a politics thread so its relevant. If anyone has made multiple attempts to derail this conversation...its you. I bought up Antic in the context of the likely reasons he may have had an impact on the outcome of the election via the way the electors of Dunstan may h...

There are a total of 47 representatives in the Lower House. A party needs a majority of 24 seats to govern. There are 5 crossbenchers. Labor already had 27 seats. Very likely to increase that majority to 28 seats, with the Dunstan by election win. Liberals had 15 seats, now down to 14 most likely. ...

It would help if you were honest rather than being economical with the truth... here is the original quote and my response to it... https://www.sensational-adelaide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=216010#p216010 As you can see it's not an objection nor offense taken, but a question which you have still f...

This is what you said... I wasn't offended personally, however this kind of rhetoric which has been mainstreamed by the left is destructive to civil discourse in this country and marginalises people who hold reasonable positions. Such terminology should be reserved for neo-nazis or nazis. That quot...

I'm clearly not on the Left-Right Spectrum - I agree with abc here. This is the SA Politics thread at the Pub. It's the only forum (apart from the Federal politics forum) this discussion should be on, not spilling to all the others. Sure. It's hard to disagree with those words. But I'm not sure tha...

I have and you're right, the forum is much better for it. Took me a bit ov time to figure that out though. Maybe the mods can ban certain people from eachother to have some civility back. or maybe just people take responsibility for their own actions and be civil I'm clearly not on the Left-Right S...

You are doing that. Neither Rubberman nor I called Antic "extremist". I said he was at the "extreme right" of SA federal politicians. You have not demonstrated anyone else is further right, nor demonstrated Antic is centrist. Being re-/mis-interpreted is tiring. No wonder others...

You need to consider the consequences of using such slurs. You cant go around calling someone extreme right wing or a right wing extremist then claim it was all an innocent misunderstanding. Who is doing that? There's a dictionary meaning for extreme. I would say that if someone is on the wing of a...

gotta love this back pedaling :applause: Not at all. The extreme right of anything is the furthest right of that thing. But as others have said, you do you, I really don't care. You need to consider the consequences of using such slurs. You cant go around calling someone extreme right wing or a rig...

I'm aware of their ageing population. The point was that they've managed to continue to grow their economy without flooding their country with migrants. Japan will be just fine. They're not self loathing idiots like our country. That I agree with! So much to be enthused about and instead there is c...

Back to politics, does anyone know when the counting is going to resume?

The Dunstan by election is being covered by the Pollbludger website. https://www.pollbludger.net/ And the ABC https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-23/dunstan-by-election-vote-counting-in-steven-marshall-former-seat/103624200?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared...

That was already talked about in this thread by me. The guardian article I linked above said: "A report by the Ricardo consultancy estimated that production of an average petrol car will involve emissions amounting to the equivalent of 5.6 tonnes of CO2, while for an average electric car, the ...
