The Upcoming Election

To be honest though releasing the swollen pickles podcast to the wider public is the only way to get people to want to watch it. Most of your paytreon members are more focused on the bigger fish.

Hey Jordan - Can you please consider doing a video on the Coalition’s workplace relations platform as it was very suspiciously absent on their 12 point policy platform 🤔🤨 I think they may remain very quiet on this and we need Australian voters to understand clearly what it will mean for their workplace conditions ie wage freezes, inflexible work arrangements and job losses. You recent new videos show how good you are at distilling complex subjects into very clear communications. These vids will be super handy to share broadly to give people an understanding of what they are actually voting for! Keep up the great work 👍❤️

I've had to change my messaging to friends and family from "Labor is doing XYZ" to "IDC who you like, just make sure you put the liberals last for reasons ABC"

Not very intelligent here, but as always my 1 brain cell loves ya. Good analysis FJ. Just realised when ya shorten it to FJ, your the first mass made Aussie classic. Like I said, not very intelligent here, but I don't vote Liebral, so I guess by default I'm more intelligent than 90% of the population. Scary as fuck.🤪

Elon did good with breaking the grooming gang scandal but he should take his neb out of politics. lm a dual Aussie Brit citizen. l voted for Nigel in the UK. lm in the Libertarian party here. lm with you on the manufacturing sector growth.

Alas, the problem with investors et al is the vast fucking majority of them only think in the short term.

Please Australia, say NO to Musk wanna be, Gina.

My father was a small business owner in Perth. We manufactured textiles. Mostly semi-trailer covers, shade-sails covers for mining equipment (mining is so big in WA most businesses service the mining industry). There are several parks and schools that still have our shade sails. Over the last 25 years, we went from being able to manufacture solely in Australia, having about 16 or so employees. As competition shifted to outsourced production, undercutting our Australian made products. We ended up having to outsource most production to India. The business slowly waned in size, eventually becoming so unprofitable and stressful to run it was liquidated. This was our family business for 3 generations. I imagine there are many stories like this. I hope for a future where manufacturing in Australia is viable again

Great video. For me, please use the term "gaining knowledge" rather than "gaining intelligence". I think it plays better. People are always happy to gain knowledge but everyone likes to think they're already intelligent. Cheers

Start a tiktok sounds like a good idea

I’m worried by seeing a lot of young people taking the liberal’s nuclear bait and it might play a lot in their voting

Australian trained engineers are good but I don't think it is realistic for Australia to become a manufacturing powerhouse in the near future. We have no car industry or other manufacturing industry to springboard from except for perhaps the mining industry. I think for Australia to get some manufacturing runs on the board we need to focus on technologies where we don't have well established competition. Batteries and solar panels manufacturing in China has reached a scale we can't compete. In comparison greener steel or building a massive solar farm and exporting the power via undersea cable is a wide open market which China has little interest in.

Honestly I think more than calling Dutton a mining puppet, you need to refine this with naunce. It would be more effective to call him out on being an absolute c#nt for blocking all the cost of living relief and practically everything good the ALP government tried to deliver. We should punish him, spite him, FK him over for trying to take our freebies/COL relief away and cut stuff. For wanting to drive up unemployment with slash and burn budget policy. Furthermore, this should then be followed up with a fear campaign that since Dutton tried to block even basic cost of living relief and what (perceived meagre) affordable housing programs the ALP Govt delivered (and has promised to gut all housing programs and replace it with "gut what little super you have to buy house - if you have any super to begin with"), imagine how much money he is going to take out of our pockets if elected and give to his mining mates. Na, FK him. He deserves to be punished at the polls. That's the kind of vibe I think needs to cut through to the electorate. One where we rightfully disdain him and his party for their record this term, and then use this to fearmonger over a future under Dutton. You think you're struggling now? Imagine life under Dutton! They wanted to only give tax cuts to the rich, block our energy relief subsidies and pro-worker legislation, pay rises etc. People are angry and want someone to hate, someone to blame for their problems, someone to punish. Make the bastard pay! We want blood!

Sadly if you say Labor is taxing billionaires or companies, most people just hear tax and decide its bad for them personally

Holmes a Court is on side for FMIA, I can tell you that with certainty. The problem is like any Wet Tory, he and the teals have a very strict individualist mentality, so the MPs can and do defect from his desires. No matter how much they’re lobbied by clean tech, mining lobby is louder. The Teals main issue with the production tax credits is that they’re Wet Tories, and hate business subsidies, free market and all.

Looking forward to more of your vids leading up to the election!

I am already dying here in cairns 😅 I’ve been telling people Dutton is Gina’s puppet and have showed ppl the leaked video only to get back “that’s great if Gina is running it! Screw these pollies” 😩😩 persist I shall but fuck me im already drained 😅🫶🏻

Thanks for the video Jordan. Interesting how Dutton is now focused on crime and law & order; a state issue.

Thank you for the video

In that case, please follow me on TikTok @felixpick1

Please everyone contact your local ALP MP OFFICE or candidate campaign and volunteer your time to help the campaign. Volunteer to work polling day and pre poll booths when you can. If you speak a second language you will be so very helpful especially in Western Sydney. I recommend the Werriwa Campaign out in Liverpool.

based So I've actually watched the video now and firstly, I would LOVE to see you talk about the Accord. I've read The Hawke Memoirs and would love to hear your take. Secondly, you've gotten me really excited about the Future Made in Australia. I'm a computer nerd, and I'd be so happy if this country became a tech powerhouse. Also means a good stable future for me.
