Aaron Smith

I rarely put pen to paper, but this privileged experience was worth the exception. Four days, a lot of walking, a few people I admire enormously, and several I do not. It's all in here👇 /2 substacktools.com/sharex/NV5CuKCf

@Earlh1959 @AdamShurey I'd invite you to actually drill down on what you believe is a solution. Happy to do it with you.

@aaronsmith @AdamShurey I’m not a ON diehard. I’m also not a Jew hater, I have Jewish friends. I think her support for Israel which means support for the genocidal maniacs running that show is misplaced. Nothing is perfect. I believe she is selling solution’s. I’m a buyer.

The real joke is that One Nation is still afforded legitimacy. Decades on, Pauline has produced no evidence she's capable of doing anything beyond generating headlines and collecting a parliamentary salary, despite routinely not turning up for work.

@Earlh1959 @AdamShurey She sells grievance, not solutions. I get it - grievance seems shiny and appealing when the major parties have let you down.

@aaronsmith @AdamShurey They have a year and a half to get that sorted. With fkall staff. As I said to someone else. Nobody gets it right all of the time but she’s mostly on the money. She wants her country back like millions of us. Nothing could be worse than the 4 buckets of slime that are there atm.

@Earlh1959 @AdamShurey I have. Their “health policy” is about 70 words. That’s not a policy; it’s a pamphlet. Nothing is detailed, nothing is costed or modelled, and when you ask how any of it works, nobody can tell you. It’s fucking embarrassing.

@aaronsmith @AdamShurey That’s ridiculous. Go to their website, listen to what they say. The clown coalition are pinching their polices ffs

Malcolm Roberts says Covid deaths in Italy and China were staged. Dog-yeller-in-chief Barnaby Joyce seems unconvinced. I'm not sure why One Nation just doesn't rebrand to 'Shit-show'.

@Ilaughatyou11 @OneNationAus A few reasons, but perhaps because they have no candidates, no policies, no leader and the federal party is a binfire?

@aaronsmith Yep. Why would anyone vote for her and the ALP lite when we can vote 1 for @OneNationAus later this year instead?

Jess Wilson lied to residents about Boroondara Council supporting a development in Kew. Jess knows the council is taking the State Government to court over this development. Journalists need to ask Jess Wilson to reconcile her lie.

@CroweDM Such a ridiculous tax. I'd love to see how they'd conduct an investigation and detect usage of 'streaming'. Years ago they used to have detector vans like this roaming around to scare the 'unlicensed'.

Don’t worry — I’ll pay. But I would pay so much faster if it came with an actual license.

@BillyCrazy2 @McAlmanac Which would certainly be a good analogy if it adds to the picture that Peter McConnell had personally issued a public statement citing he hates ice cream.

@McAlmanac @aaronsmith Someone told me Peter McConnell enjoys ice cream. Therefore it is true and even if there is evidence that he may not like ice cream it’s not my responsibility to verify sources.

@McAlmanac lol. You did opt for a shovel.

@aaronsmith “We recognise Boroondara Council under new leadership has changed direction.” Hooray, you’ve answered my question. It didn’t need screaming banshee dialogue. You do a power of good work, but equally you shouldn’t berate people who have a genuine question.

You’re welcome to read the Premier’s statement on it. LinkedIn below. Question for you - knowing that the council is taking the govt to the Supreme Court over this development, and knowing that the council issued a separate report outlining their issues with the development - would you claim that the council supports the development? Let me know if you’d like a shovel. premier.vic.gov.au/only-labor-say…

@aaronsmith Did the Premier cite council support? That’s all I want to know.

@McAlmanac It’s a lie. Stop defending outright lies. It’s ridiculous.

@aaronsmith She’s asserting that the Premier is doing that.

@McAlmanac There is no honest or credible basis for telling residents the council supports this development when you know the council is taking the State Government to the Supreme Court over it. That fact changes everything. It’s a nonsense and Jess knows it.

@aaronsmith All I’m saying is to firstly determine who is asserting council support.

@McAlmanac That’s a nice cop-out. Firstly, no evidence that’s true. That aside, it’s completely and utterly irrelevant given Jess Wilson knows the council is taking the state govt to the Supreme Court over the development. Genuinely surprised at attempts to defend this egregious lie. Why?

@aaronsmith The leaflet says that Jacinta Allan cited Boroondara Council support. So maybe the question should be directed to the Premier.

The timeline matters. This article was published a week before Wilson's letter was distributed to selected households. Why did Jess lie and tell residents that Boroondara Council supports the development, despite knowing the council was taking the State Govt to court over it?

Angus is the most vacuous Liberal leader yet. Given the competition, that’s an achievement in itself.

@TerenceMcCart14 Make sure you do the crazy long steps if you have time! dictionaryofsydney.org/structure/butl…

@Earlh1959 @AdamShurey There are no ‘policies’.

@AdamShurey @aaronsmith Nothing to do with billionaire backing. wtf did you get that idea. Might be because of good policy and people are so sick of being bent over by the uniparty. Open your eyes ffs.

@miles_sack You're a dog screamer too?

@aaronsmith So a “Tech for Work” is an expert on dog training & handling then . Right 🤔

Apparently it’s perfectly normal on farms to scream abuse at dogs, according to a man who appears to have never worked on one.

@LachlanB_ @TerenceMcCart14 Love this!

Lovely to meet @TerenceMcCart14 while he's in Sydney and have a Kaffepause together. 😊
