hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Unfortunately, the prime policy of the Republicans seems to be “owning the libs”. Caring about the environment is a bit of a “liberal“ thing in the US, and so Trump is deliberately trashing it, although of course it helps the extractive industries which he loves because they fund him. 000
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Won’t anyone think of the Nepo babies? they are such a disadvantage group. 0121
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Unfortunately, every time the Australian government, (and of course always labor.) introduces any new scheme, a bunch of piranhas jump in. We saw it with Jeffrey Edelsten and Medicare, Abc learning and Childcare funding, and now the NDIS. These “providers“ need to be rooted out. 000

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Agreed – the other term that the media should never use is “reform“. Reform implies something positive. An objective news Source should call it a change. It’s only in retrospect that you can work out whether it actually was a reform. 010

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 14/09/2025To even make that suggestion is beyond contempt. Obviously, violence against anyone is deplorable. But all the evidence is that proportionally more violence in America is committed by citizens rather than by “illegals“ 000
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 24/07/2025There is a perfectly good solution, which is to vote against the bill if you’ve been double crossed 030
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 19/07/2025Not forgetting that disabled people also need to enjoy themselves. We need to go out for dinner and to shows. too much emphasis in this thread about people needing to work and shop. We disabled need a life as well. 061
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Can we get our kids to opt out of hearing stories that feature religious people as well? I doubt it. 010
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 24/06/2025The trouble with Tasmania is that the government is small enough to get captured by particular sectional interests. And those interests capture both parties – the bosses tell the liberals what to do, and the unions in that industry tell labor what to do. Hydro, forestry, salmon, AFL. On it goes 191
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 09/05/2025First there was “fake news“ and now there is this attack on science in general, because science produces factual results that are inconvenient to the Republican worldview 000

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Yes, the “mandate” is completely specious. All parties have a number of policies, and I would guess that no voter who votes for any party agrees with all of those policies. Unfortunately, as in ecological competition, political parties compete most strongly with those most similar to them. 000
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 24/03/2025True enough, but the combination of compulsory voting and the preferential system means that the majority will end up with a government they like better than the alternative. Compare and contrast with the USA where 1/3 voted for Trump, 1/3 voted for Harris and 1/3 didn’t or couldn’t vote 000

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Tried to make a comment on one of the Australian’s articles and they blocked it.

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/03/2025The undeniable conclusion is that Trump does not see the USA as being one of the “fellow democracies “ 010

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 25/02/2025So sick of these developers thumbing their noses at environmental laws because the penalties are so low and they just treat it as a cost of business.

hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Softball questions from Speers. But Dutton still comes across as someone who can’t make an argument. All he does is spout key words derived from focus groups. “Labor can’t manage money” etc. Give us a break! #insiders 040
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025How much clearer could the message against terrorism have been? Dutton is proposing to stamp out peaceful protest #insiders 021
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025This caravan full of explosives is as dodgy as hell. And the leak came from Dutton’s office. The man is a disgusting liar #insiders 032
hamishmcc.bsky.social @hamishmcc.bsky.social · 01/02/2025We get regular blackouts in the northern Rivers. It’s driven by a faults in the poles and wires, which is exactly what do Dutton wants to reduce expenditure on. Nothing to do with the energy mix #insiders 041
