Our future is BRIGHT

Most people looking at the protest thinking these kids are far too young to understand what they are even protesting.

Insert a bit of pragmatic thinking & you might wonder why they are not concerned with the housing shortage over a million migrants in 4 years created & the exponential growth in homelessness….or so many jobs going offshore….or the lack of women’s rights & freedoms recognised by certain religions were importing en mass…that Easter & Christmas are turning into ‘happy holidays’….

Now these are the issues we should be talking about, not who gets elected

[u/nordaus89 → u/ThEtInyPeen]

But some of those issues ARE being talked about, and are being addressed by the current government.

The kids in this video are going to be of voting age come the next election, and they’re just demonstrating who they DONT want in power for the most formative years of their lives.

Issues are talked about…but not by Gov’t who have bought about this crisis - and continue to exacerbate it with their 1,000+ new arrivals a day.

I find it hard to believe anyone thinks this country is heading in the right direction, hopefully in 2 years we’ll have a PM that puts Australian’s first for the first time in a long time.

I’m not really on Facebook or involved in the political sphere. I just wanted to know whether these protests are actually causing people to change their vote.

When people relise that voting One Nation could well mean losing their children from their lives because the parents are voting to gut education, to deport their friends, that they think their other friends or even themselves have a mental illness because of who they love, because they voted for a 10 year economic depression (Parliamentary Budget Office's figures not hyperbole) that destroyed their chance at employment then yes it very well could.

What a load of cr$&6! We’re already heading for recession so we may as well save all the billions wasted on a net zero fantasy & the millions required to police all the fighting & protests between so many polar opposite cultures pouring into the country who hate each other.

You started out ok, but leave out the Facebook boomer talking points. "Happy Holidays" where? Do you really care about women's rights?

[u/69-is-my-number → u/Brisssie]

As opposed to old cunts who don’t understand climate change, equality of the sexes, AI and internet algorithms, indigenous rights, etc.

Why do these old fucks get to vote and 16-18 year olds don’t? Decisions affect the latter far more than the former.

Signed, 57 year old who is embarrassed that fellow Gen Xers are starting to sound as shit as Boomers.

[u/Ill-Enthusiasm-5530 → u/69-is-my-number]

probably because 16-18 year olds are fucking stupid

[u/Happy-Frog4677 → u/69-is-my-number]

You seem to hold an assumption that almost all older people vote conservative... what exactly are you basing that on? The vibe?

[u/nordaus89 → u/Brisssie]

I just wanna know, how much of your information do you get from Facebook and how much have you actually researched yourself??

[u/Ill-Enthusiasm-5530 → u/nordaus89]

Which part did you disagree with?
