Doctor Spaceman posted:Rudd was selling a positive, forward-looking platform too. It played well off the perception that Howard's time was up. The Coalition might have lost even if it had been Beazley vs Howard (or Beazley vs Costello), but Rudd's time as Opposition Leader put the nails in the coffin. Yeah, barring a cataclysmic Labor failure the Liberals were always going to lose in 2007, but it was Rudd's platform that caused them to win it by as much as they did.

I think if the Coalition hadn't lost in 2007 they'd have been annihilated in 2010 (which is what happened to the NSW Labor in 2007 / 2011, but for somewhat different reasons). From their perspective it was probably not the worst election to lose.

So I wonder which group are the real threat to our way of life with their violent extremism.... yeah but therer are about 12 million "white" aussies, and only about 500,000 muslims so you do the math and figure out violent incidents committed per capita and then see which way it leans

Country of Birth: Australia is 15 million Identified Ancestry: Australian is 7 million So somewhere between a ratio of 1:14 and 1:30 to have equal per capita stats. I think we're at 8 now and counting?

Joe Hockeys Scrote posted:this is my personal bugbear in census data, ancestry is a loving useless category which is subjective and lets you choose up to two options Yeah, I agree about the ancestry thing, it's too wishy washy, so I figure the number of "Australians" is somewhere between the number who identify as having ancestry and the number of people born here. Hence my ratio spread. Cartoon posted:Getting crime stats you can trust is the next part in your problem. White perpetrators are much more likely to be given the 'benefit of the doubt' by the attending officer than who ever is being profiled by the community. You are absolutely right, I'm sure the number of unreported cases is far far higher, but you know what, when it comes to making this point, I'm not even concerned because even without all the unreported stuff I'm pretty sure Australians will see through with their violence, stupidity and racism. In fact, I noticed on the Guardian today people are making death threats against the kid who stabbed the cops family. So 9:1 so far. Tomorrow 14:1, Next week THE WORLDU (hi Bifauxnen). I mean 30:1.

Don't forget the other bias, Australians reporting racially charged violence when there was no violence in the first place. hooman posted:I think we're at 8 now and counting?

Mr Jones said. Ewen Jones, MP for Herbert. The largest city in his electorate is Townsville. The youth unemployment rate in Townsville is 13.4%. There are no jobs in the region for young people, and the few that do exist do not pay a living wage. Overwhelmingly, young people in Townsville are part time or casual employees earning the bare minimum hourly rate, and the vast majority of full time jobs open to young people are trades involving heavy labour, which employers are unwilling to train people for, and with the LNP's defunding of TAFE, and the corresponding increases in fees, qualifications are out of reach of most unemployed youths He'd have us loving starve.
