@Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Should we stop saying idiot as well?

@spy_cable @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Yes and when a majority of people decide that a word/action is offensive or harmful we ,as people, stop using/doing it. As we have empathy for those it hurts.

68% of voters think Labor isn't doing enough to ensure 'affordable and secure rentals'. 60% support a freeze on rent increases. Action for renters is politically popular, urgently needed and possible. The only ones standing in the way now is Labor.

@belyndar @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather What’s wrong with saying that?

@HappyNacho73 @Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Do you think retard is as bad as the n word?

@spy_cable @Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather You’re just being defiant now for the sake of it. Which is incredibly shitty.

@HappyNacho73 @Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Why do you think I don’t have personal experiences? Everyone has had traumatic experiences, doesn’t change the fact that treating retard like the n word and the f slur diminishes the seriousness of those words

@spy_cable @Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather You really just doubled-down being a cvnt instead of using it as an important lesson moving forward, didn’t you? Especially after it was fully explained to you why we don’t use that word as an insult any more, with an added personal experience on top of it. Excellent work. 🙄

@Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Isn’t that what everyone does?

@spy_cable @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Oh look everyone. We can stop looking I found the person who decides what is and isn’t a slur.

@jackie_mcc33924 @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP Yep so the federal government can coordinate with state governments at cabinet meetings. This has already happened with energy prices

@spy_cable @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP Well that’s a state issue, not federal going round in circles didn’t solve anything did it, I’m glad your happy to accept nothing now though.

@belyndar @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather What was my asshole behaviour?

@Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather I’m sorry to hear that but doesn’t really change that retard is no different historically than words like dumbass or idiot. Making fun of someone with a disability is what’s horrible, not a word. Getting upset about words like retard denigrates the seriousness of actual slurs

@spy_cable @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Well I’m not a labour voter, I’m a dad that has seen his 26 year old son been called this horrendous word through out his life. If you can’t find another way to get your point across, that says more about you than the Labor voters.

@TonyKoc69285191 @belinduhpyne Is your last name pronounced cock??😭

Green Supporters: Don’t call Max names! Proceeds to call me a retard…

@belyndar @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Can you stop calling me an asshole? Punching down isn’t very nice

@Just_SumBloke @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather The point gets across fine but it does give retarded labor voters an excuse to deflect from the point I guess 🤷‍♂️

@spy_cable @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Seriously the R word?? That’s one way to lose all credibility when trying to get a point across.

@ljdrummond24 @MChandlerMather Campfires also contribute to climate change “in part,” but it’s a bit disingenuous to say talk about climate change and mention campfires and nothing else as contributing factors. You’re just painting a narrative via omission

@spy_cable @MChandlerMather “In part”.

In San Francisco a rent stabilisation board determines how much landlords are able to increase the rent. This year the limit is 3.6%. Rent caps are used around the world and are desperately needed in Oz. Check out all their decisions here: sf.gov/sites/default/…

@jackie_mcc33924 @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP “Ugh I can’t believe the greens got 2 billion dollars spend on housing! And they also want renters to pay LESS MONEY??? Those greenies are just horrible” - you, probably

@spy_cable @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP How do we know if we don’t try? Yeah that’s right doing nothing is achieving what exactly? NOTHING, the 2 billion dollars will get housing moving right now! But that was also not good enough I guess. You’d rather nothing!

@belinduhpyne @jackie_mcc33924 @anna_prole @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP That’s because the greens have values. Hope this helps!

@jackie_mcc33924 @spy_cable @anna_prole @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP Labor are also the ones who don’t want to be in a coalition with The Greens sooooo yah

@Lisaisalooseun1 @anna_prole If you look up the history of the word retard you’ll find it is basically identical to dumbass. No history of oppression or dehumanisation like other racist or sexist slurs. Getting upset about it does nothing but denigrate the seriousness of actual slurs

This “alleged” Greens supporter thinks that Green members of parliament are imagining ableist slurs when they see Albo. I also am of the belief that most Greens voters don’t share this view.

@ljdrummond24 @MChandlerMather Housing shortage, famously caused by rent control and not zoning 💀

@MChandlerMather San Francisco? 😂 that city has a chronic housing shortage (in part caused by rent controls) and one of the highest homeless populations in America. I don’t think that’s a great example

@beenwk @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Yep trans people deserve rights and labor / lnp supporters are all retards

@spy_cable @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather Oi, no slurs please, shame on you! You lot are all about being woke but are fine with using slurs.

@jackie_mcc33924 @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP Future funds don’t work that way. And the greens were the ones who just bullied labor into spending 2 billion on housing and are the only ones with long term solutions to housing in their policies like transit oriented development and mixed use zoning 🤷‍♂️

@spy_cable @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP No it’s not, labor has a policy, the greens don’t. The greens are holding up housing getting done, not labor. So THE GREENS ARE KEEPING PEOPLE HOMELESS. Well done supporting that,

@jackie_mcc33924 @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP Think you’re getting confused, Jackie. I wasn’t responding to you!

@spy_cable @anna_prole @belinduhpyne @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP Couldn’t care, not everyone enjoys sports. Big whoop!

@anna_prole @belinduhpyne @jackie_mcc33924 @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP How’s nuffy ableist?

@spy_cable @belinduhpyne @jackie_mcc33924 @MChandlerMather @Greens @AlboMP I know what you’re referring to, but I don’t use dated ableist language. But I’m the grandma 🤣
