Victorian Labor + Video Suggestion Thread

Late to this but my take is that Dan Andrews is a sick cunt, and it was clear because he had a national profile as high as Scott Morrison. I wonder how Scotty felt, to be playing second fiddle to a Victorian premier? Nah but Victoria is pretty good, if they can inject some more cash into the country to fix some roads which is all I ever hear anybody whinge about, they'll keep getting elected for the next century

I’m a Victorian. Truthfully can’t thank the Labor government enough or even process the amount of work they’ve done but weirdly enough I think the exhaustion comes out the most with those urban developments. You said there it’s like outer space, here it’s like Ctrl C. There’s a tad less character (which I by no means saying that a Liberal party would effectively) in each of our suburbs. The most opinionated and dare I say beloved suburb of the lot is Frankston because a lot of it is a shit hole. It’s funny. It has character (and not the type “character” that Mr Bandt had been proclaiming the CBD has). The most interesting thing that’s happened in my suburb for a long time is that a new restaurant was built in suburb next to mine. Our suburbs grow by us claiming a new thing (shit or not) outside of it because everything else within the suburb is already good. I don’t know whether half of the suburbs people talk about actually exist. At a social level, suburbs aren’t designated by zones, the things in the suburb end up preceding the identity of what the suburb is. It’s not the KFC in Newscastle, it’s “Chelsea Heights? that’s the one by the GYG right?” and the GYG WILL BE IN THE SUBRUB OVER. It’s stupid and hilarious. I know that there’s the whole “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mantra, but the one thing I’d like to see more of from Victoria is innovation. I appreciate now knowing what they’ve been doing to the electricity grid.

Victorians think you never talk about them? Try being South Australian!

The libs have had 4 leaders in 4 years they can't organise themselves little lone the state. thier policies is no Labor is fucked isn't really a ticket to be backing. The danger for them is the "anyone but them vote" that is a lazy way of voting but one that will cost seats. Grey vote is tired of the spending probs because the benefits will be realised when they are in the ground so like holding onto generational wealth they don't want it to go to the youth off their pay lol

Rabbit reveal? 😍🐇

A video adjacent to digital privacy in the my health record rollout. Excellent idea but not very well implemented, there was an amendment in 2018 that improved some of the concerns. This could then segway into the new social media ban for <16 year olds and how everyone will have to prove their age and (possibly) identity online.

Analysis on the Vic Libs was shonky here. Deeming was not a Neo-Nazi, but a conservative TERF who was gatecrashed by neo-nazis. Persutto effectively cooked up the defamatory nazi slander to try and isolate her and her supporters from the party, and courts found it was defamatory. That's what his undoing was, he made a daft decision to succumb to pressure from key faction backers to defame her and effectively got his arse handed to him. Having access to an inside perspective on what happens inside the Vic Libs, this is what has happened. Initially, a reactionary religious right suburban group of members started doing mass recruitment drive into the party and taking over. This freaked out the rich wets, who didn't want these sort of Abbot types dominating the party. Hence they orchestra faction counter attacks to purge those members and isolate that growing conservative membership base. The problem for the wets was, they needed numbers and a new constituency to counter act that (arguably legitimate) recruitment. So they started appealing to South Asian migrants, who now effectively out right pay people to turn up to branch meetings and branch stack. Effectively the wets had found people who aligned with their values - money, above all else. In a rather unsettling way, these people are importing corrupt developing world style politics directly into Australia, with the endorsement of these old guard wet Libs. Having also heard how some of their old guard ministers think and see the world, absolutely makes me shudder and spine crawl just thinking what would happen if these people somehow got into government. I think the electorate sees through this though. Just look at Julian Hill's opponent last Fed election 😂

I'll admit, I was hoping for a few obvious nitty gritty things with stats about VIC so I could more easily make memes for the next VIC election.

Victorian Socialist seem to be the burgeoning whinge merchants.

Living in rural VIC for over 1 year and damn that's accurate, the people just do not understand the government here and simplify it like it's all shit, they're all corrupt etc... And really most the people vocal about it aren't just not voting for Labor or Liberal, they're not voting at all or for the fringes that will never gain real power. I also moved from Adelaide so I've really been beaten by both ends of the stick.

Hi ya, QLD LNP is seeking to change up the boundaries of electorates in a return to some Joh level tactics. I've included the link to the submissions LNP's is 110 and Labor's is 115. LNP straight up asking for a whole seat to be removed but for two to be added. Labor is basically asking for the QRC's independence to be respected but also for districts to be resized to maintain quota rather than ripping apart one seat that is currently held by labor to add another two in other areas of the state.

I'd love to see another "where are they now" looking at Marc Di Stefano, because of course he works for the AFR now

I, too, am smart enough to know that I'm stupid, or at least ignorant. I look forward to this video on China, because I don't know much about China and I've never been there and I'm scared of China. I mean bureaucracy works beautifully smoothly when you crush dissent under tanks, doesn't it? (I look forward to Jordan quoting this in his best Greens-voter-Guardian-subscriber voice). I think if you want ruthless efficiency, you'd better get the Spanish Inquisition - unexpected I admit, but ruthless. I'd rather elect people with ruth :)

Koala National Park It’s just been announced by the Minis government

Seen the Tom Tanuki video RE. August 31st? (to get your interest, it shows Avi Yemini getting kicked out by Nazi's in Melbourne)

Coverage of the breaking news that NSW will finally establish the Great Koala National Park, and has placed a moratorium on logging in all of those forest areas assessed for the park: all 176,000 hectares!

Can we get a video breaking down the labor factions?

How can they ban gas in new builds (awesome) and then just try and tax all EV drivers? you with the future or against it. thats about my knowledge of VIC politics haha As for china, they are absolutly the winner, they are a great global citizen and people need to look at America how they are being told to look at china. As long as we have AUKUS, we have a target on our backs.

I'd take an exhausted, semi-comatose Labor government over a fresh LNP government every time.

A video on the proposed pause to NCC (National construction code). I know you’ve made videos with Zeher (site inspections) in the past about the shortcomings of trades and regulatory bodies in the industry but this is genuinely concerning. The code is probably 10 years behind where it should be and non compliance is rampant. I’m a construction manager with over 10 years carpentry experience and the industry is the worst I’ve ever seen it. Pride, skill and industry experience is evaporating. My concern is that the duration of the mortgage is longer than the life span of the homes we are building.

I'd love to see Jordan react/talk about Gary Stevenson from Gary's economics.

wHy wOz DAn aNDreWs iN CHOINA! Seriously though. What was he doing there? How does it relate to whatever he's doing these days?

Do the Hobbits live in Tecoma, still protesting the McDonald's that's been there over a decade? 😜 Video suggestion 😆😆😆

Every new Estate in Victoria is more and more cramped. I know this because im in them delivering to the construction. People won't park in their own garages, or their empty driveways. But we still have to build in there

People are seeing massive results here in Victoria. But there's still News Corp. Talking mad shit about every little thing. And of course there's an election coming so the "youth crime epidemic" has returned to front page of the Herald Sun

More reality TV reacts to appease my inner swine.

IDK if China's in the ascent if they're still copying stuff and have to invade their neighbors for resources.

Do a deep dive on how majorly the Liberals fucked over the Sydney Metro

React to this video on the nazis at the immigration rallies: https://youtu.be/GLRoFdeI_5Y?si=zoDTdvVGh2F9VuJK

a video on the WA Labor party would be interesting they go under the radar but they've achieved a lot in the 8 years in govt they've had, and still another 4 years before the next election and nearly wiping the liberals out of WA is huge

I'd love to see jordies do an investigation into the LNP's handling of the Sydney Metro and the contracts involved in it.

I think for Victoria just a video about how the Victorian liberals are just so incompetent and they’re self sabotaging themselves

Do a video on the liberal party essentially becoming QAnon because all that questioning in question time just sounds like conspiracy theory shit all cooked up by Sky News after dark

80s Vic Labor had a liberal held senate. We don't want a repeat of that. We want to increase the numbers of Labor senators somehow. Great behind the scenes though.

I was going to say, the grift of people like punters politics, he's now a lobbyist to snark. And honest government has now done a video attacking Norway now. And therefore the workers. I'm glad Jordan mentioned the article from Minnie and snark, I am glad I have a word for the whinge merchants now. And it was funny how Shane used to say how much he was earning from Patreon then one day just went quiet.

Can we get Jordies to do a tier list of Auspolitcs content creators

Shit on the ABC. You've gone soft on them. Their coverage of Dan Andrews at a WWII commemoration is nothing short of disgusting. They completely obscured the fact that it was to commemorate Japan's surrender, instead plastering everywhere DAM ANDREWS ATTENDS CHINA MILITARY PARADE. Eta apologies if you cover the above in this post, haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet

As a Victorian, the press is going after Labor like mad even by Victorian standards. I guess they're smelling weakness with Dictator Dan retired. The press at least believe Labor is in trouble and are capitalizing on it.

And people his hyperbolic sarcastic comedy is why he can't run for parliament.

Hey Jordies, would love to hear you on the Socially Democratic podcast. Run by Dan Andrews’ ex campaign manager and sometimes his partner (ex-chief of staff to Dan Andrews) is cohosting. Would be great to chat vic Labor with them and shoot the shit with them

Is Kev Rudd gonna make an appearance on the Ablo x China relations video?

Vic Labor itself is great, but we have a messaging issue. The high rises that the greens love to point out that Labor is kicking people out of, they are literally falling apart. The people are being moved to houses, not apartments and they have to choice to move back, and most have said no. it's funny how the Vic socialists will attack bad landlords for not maintaining properties, but when the government wants to do that, it's an issue too. Otherwise Vic Labor is doing great, unfortunately the masses don't know and they need to know.

I would love to see a how it started / how it's going on the NSW council mergers.

liberals are hopeless in Victoria. The recent poll shows that they had a sizeable lead in the 2pp, but viclabor has closed back to within 1% of the libs. I agree with jordies on that there will be a correction, but hopefully vic labor gets a 4th term.

People love to complain about all the roadworks and train disruptions but I am constantly pointing out that we are building the biggest ongoing network in the country. Labor are not just doing a Gladys and haphazardly building a single tram line, they are planning decades ahead. No government has had the foresight to think about, not only a modern Australia can look like, but what Australia can be in 50 years.

I for one would like a WA glaze session

Update on future made in Australia 🇦🇺

Vic Labor is suspect they will hold government for probably one more term, the media have been hounding the living shit out of vic labor for literally everything, from machete bins, big build, SRL, Crime, emergency services the list goes on. Maybe a one term Tory just to show the electorate that the libs are completely incompetent so labor gets in and keeps vic in a solid position

Labor’s NDIS reforms + how years of Liberal neglect put the whole scheme at risk by turning it into a source of easy cash for unscrupulous providers.

React to the Joh Bjelke-Petersen doco

The dan Andrews incident is too fucking funny not to atleast make a skit about.
