Threats of violence are never okay.

But that in no way means I have to believe for a loving second this one is anything other than bullshit sent by some massive loving bigot "for the cause".

P much, except comedy threats of violence on forums and facebook are fine and admirable imo.

This is inevitably gendered, because patriarchy hates women and fascists are flamboyantly patriarchal. I don't doubt that Lambie has received more death threats and more expressions of support from 'Islamic' fascists and white supremacists recently than her compatriots like Bernardi in parliament who are crusading against Muslim Australians. Except.... I follow Australian politics and I can't name a single member of parliament more vocally Islamophobic than Lambie than the Prime Minister and his deranged backbench pal in the senate. and Bernardi doesn't hold the balance of power. The one difference is that she will have received a fuckload of rape threats and probably threats against her children. THAT is the unequivocally gendered aspect, but it's not the one she publicised. She publicised a beheading threat, because that fits the narrative.

That means the release is not as gendered as MUYB is implying. Nothing Jackie Lambie says would seem less mad if she were a guy. I would expect anyone to receive death threats in the current climate if they were an independent and said the poo poo she says. She p much definitely gets a lot more hatemail than she would if she were a dude, but this idea from MUYB that it's suddenly unfunny for a toxic political figure to be a figure of ridicule when they foolishly publicise a death threat before it's investigated because of their gender is just rank paternalism masquerading as allied feminism. Women can be absolutely contemptible fuckwits worthy of scathing ridicule too, and pretending that that's not a thing that's allowed is supremely anti-feminist.

Uhlman just said Four Corners may have documents that proves there is a deal with the japanese to buy their submarines. Episode will be on the 23rd, the monday before the election :getin:

Wouldn't that mean he mislead Parliament? If the documents exist, he's a dead mean walking. And if they get rid of him before they get released, Turnball will be stuck with it.



Do German's make the submarine's still the best at defeating the Royal Navy/US/China? They did pretty well for the first 1/2 of the last big war (though I wouldn't use them post 1943).

So in your view Jacqui Lambie is both stupid enough to falsify her own death threat and yet too smart to have released information on a legitimate death threat rather than following proper procedure

NSW has 6 State MPs, and up until 2014 consistently had the largest number of State MPs of any of the state parties. If all goes well, this election will take us to 8.

Actually, from 1982 to 2011 Tasmania had either equal or greater number of Greens MPs so I'm not sure you can really say "consistently" when it's only been for one term. (yes yes obviously hare-clark but if we're going to be pedantic about numbers, well)

Never said she falsified it, champ. The empty quotes I did upthread on yesterpage were purely for punning purposes. There's no doubt in my mind that she's quoting emails she received from randoms she doesn't know.

She chose to publicise the most convenient death threat. Beheading, ISIS, all that good poo poo, all in one email. Her fixation is veterans affairs and she is stuck in the ideology of the system she wants to reform. She honestly believes in the clash of civilisations. And she's been disenfranchised long enough to be radicalised against the system but still in support of it if it can finally be made to work for her.

She's not smart and she doesn't think critically. I doubt her staff are much cleverer. My bet is that they received the email in question, sent it to the AFP, the AFP said 'ok we will investigate this' and they went gently caress YOU and released it themselves for publicity and idiot reasons

It would not surprise me at all if this email was sent by white supremacists, because they send this poo poo out constantly trying to incite exactly this.

Yeah okay I'd been thinking in terms of VIC. You're right, TAS has at points equalled or exceeded our number.

It's a bit of dick-waving, since as you said the relative electoral systems make it hard to compare (Hare-Clark vs. Upper House regions vs. pure proportional STV Upper House) but I don't hold that Victoria is an astonishing lefty wonderland while NSW sit dreaming about what could have been.
