Vambo Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/hey-democrats-look-what-just-happened-in-australia-varney The candidate Opens a New Window. pushing tax hikes was sure to win. The media Opens a New Window. and the elites backed him. The polls all said he would come out on top. Even the exit polls said he would win. But he didn't. Bill Shorten, Labour Party leader, lost Australia's general election. The pundits are in a state of shock! Now we don't spend much time on Australian politics, but Democrats here should be taking a long hard look at this one. In Australia voters were not prepared to sacrifice in the name of climate change, and they didn't want to risk their prosperity by taxing the rich!

OldBrownsFan Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 We saw the same thing in France with the rioting over the carbon tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorka Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 MAGA! Make Australia Great Again...lol Sounds so familiar doesn't it? Heard on the radio some 55 polls had the leftist winning. No way was the Liberal Party (Republican/Conservatives in Australia) gonna win. They even had snowflakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I think that line I quoted is a load of horse shit. It reads completely like something to keep the working class in line and not mess with the rich. "You wouldn't want me to be taxed! Think of your own prosperity. Lower taxes for me only helps you!" I hate being that guy.... but that reeks of "sheeple" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
