Merged Australian Politics / Australian election

[Dabop]

The Nats have now officially dropped net zero by 2050. The Libs will force Ley’s hand and follow.

I’d really like to hear a Coalition strategist (if any remain) explain how they will win power with no more than 6 or 7 metropolitan seats.

And yet the Nats are the first ones to hold their hand out for money when bushfires or floods (which are growing ever more dangerous with climate change accelerating) hit the farmers.....

'Sorry, mate, that bushfire is imaginary, just like climate change'...

Hell the last big fire we had around my place- we had a fireies truck bogged in part of the forest- because of flooding... DURING the fire.....

Only in Australia would you get flooding and major bushfires in the same place at the same time.....

Someone on Facebook got Google Gemini to create a poster of the last ten Australian prime ministers, colour-coded by party.

I miss those heady days of 2018 when Tony Abotet lost the job to Tony Abbort in a leadership spill.

I still think Peter Costello should have been made Deputy PM.

Out of those ten only the first and the last lasted more than four years.

Erm...

Did you miss all the errors in the picture?

I did notice a few errors, but did not want to embarks anyone by pointing them out. Like whoever did the picture used base 7. And it is not colour coded by party.

Here is copilot’s effort. I did not ask for dates

I need a picture, colour coded by party, of the last ten PMs of Australia.

They're in a strange order.

Is it just me, or is John Howard missing?

I love the confidence of AI slop:

Here are the last ten Australian Prime Ministers:

(Nine pictures, which are caricatures, missing a key person.)

AI has been banned from a tech forum I was at, simply because it was wrong so often that it was considered safe to assume EVERY AI answer was wrong- ironically it not only 'sounds authoritative' to non techs, but often seems to 'disguise' where it IS wrong
Using AI is now an actual 'bannable' offence there now lol

Katter gets an early Christmas present, while Coalition stalls on net zero

"There will be a corner of this Parliament House that is forever Bob Katter," the prime minister said this week.

No matter what you think of the man, it's a good portrait.

That's his best "I'm an immigrant" skin tone.

Hmm...

He seems to have a bad case of 'resting bitch face'.

Yes, exactly. It captures him perfectly.
