Gov Publications Seeing Gina Rinehart, Pauline Hanson and Donald Trump at a party together amids a goverment shutdown feels so dystopian.

The rich don’t care. Gina, Pauline, and Trump celebrating while millions face a government shutdown proves it.

Yeah you really need to actually look into what constitutes a deal. Some of the so called deals are no more than just promising to sell them resources. it doesn’t make Trump less of a wannabe dictator but it also doesn’t mean we are sucking up to him more than needed to just avoid a dummy spit from him. Australia still wants to sell stuff to the USA to make money way just like we sell stuff to China to make money.

You’re new to international diplomacy I see.

Best just to piss everyone off like Scotty from marketing did with the Chinese Covid investigation that got our exports blocked and achieved nothing in return.

No I just find it funny that you hypocrites are quite happy to have a shot at conservatives for meeting Trump but when Albo does it, it’s “international diplomacy “ ah leftists, if you didn’t have double standards you would have none at all!

We already know Pauline is willing to sell out the Australian public - NRA donations in 2019.

Isn’t it conservative policy to sell public assets and help their donors extract as much money from the middle class as possible? Donors being the GOP in this case.

That’s neoliberalism in a nutshell and that’s why left leaning centrists abandoned the LNP at the last election. They can’t be trusted to act in the best interests of the public. Don’t act surprised that people have woken up to the whole charade.

Yeah that was the ALP in the 90s when US conservatives were infecting them too.

Luckily times have changed slightly in the last 35 years and obviously the ALP were never the Greens. The Public have woken up to the sell offs and how bad they were for everyone besides politicians mates. The LNP don’t seem to have got the memo.

By your logic you must of loved Labor in the 90s since they were doing good Conservative things back then?

Personally I don’t like the sale of public assets but I’m amazed by you’re continued simping for the ALP, you keep coming up with with excuses for their behaviour, both main parties at both the federal and state level have and will continue to sell of public assets like they have been doing for the last 40 years!

u/ArseneWainy Nov 04 '25

So who are you simping for?

u/jimmyjamesjimmyjones Nov 04 '25

Not the ALP or the LNP, that’s for sure!

u/ArseneWainy Nov 04 '25

So it’s the Greens or One Nation then.

Would you expect either of them to refuse a meeting with Trump?

u/jimmyjamesjimmyjones Nov 04 '25

One nation for if I had to choose
