2 hours 8 minutes long?

Gimme a break - just tell us who it is? Roll Eyes

Yeah, two hours is too long.

Him and his party are part of the LaRouche movement/cult.

Probably all you need to know.

Really? that's all you can take away from the evidenced corruption & lies from our 2 majors and their bought members and ministers - the banks & the consultant thieves of PWC, KPMG etc?

You're a big part of why this blatant shyte keeps going.

In all that he said what was wrong & what don't you agree with?

I didn't listen to two hours of him talking.

He and his party are part of the LaRouche movement/cult - that's all I need to know.

Well you're an leftoid ignoramus.

Good luck with your LaRouche buddy.

Let me know how it works out.

So you know what? Inside info?

Or just a grasp at guilt by association.

WTF would you know you never gave him the benefit of the doubt because you didn't watch the video.

Piss off. Why are you still here?

Settle, petal.

If you wanna waste your vote on a party like that, it's fine.

I have no problem with that - I'm not telling you what to do.

I'm just letting you know who those people are.

How is it a waste of a vote? Never heard of preferences? If he gets in, the vote is not wasted, if he doesn't, it goes to your next preference, still not wasted..

Who they are? They're actually lefties like you. Grin

Schmulow even stated that when he does his research he likes to look at ideas from countries, people and organisations from around the world.

So what if he's found some ideas from this group that may be good?

Standing up to the Big 4 banks, corporate corruption from consultancies like PWC, KPMG etc and the duopoly and thieving practices of Woolworths and Coles....Qantas and how these corporations buy politicians belonging to the ALP & LNP through donations sounds like a fair thing to me.

There are no candidates from the Australian Citizens Party in my region - but I'd seriously consider a vote for them if there was.

So I'm seriously considering all other options besides the ALP, LNP, Greens, Trumpets or Teal independents who are just Greens in disguise.

No.

They started off as lefties, in the '60s, and then became full-on right-wing extremists in the mid '70s and still are to this day.

"Twenty years ago Lyndon LaRouche was teaching classes in dialectical materialism at the New York Free School, preparing members of the left-wing Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) to seize political power.

"Today he is notorious as a right-wing extremist and is serving a fifteen-year jail sentence for fraud and conspiracy."

You'll have to ask Gnads that. As for the paywall, that's the newspaper. There is a link to a PDF of the article there right beside it.

Significant points from the pdf:

1. Schulow believes in "liberal, individual-centric, free-market democracies"

2. He's a vocal critic of accounting firm PwC, the supermarket duopoly, and the major banks.

3. "I don't want tp sound like a lefty Marxist - I'm not"

4. "We need a competition regulator ...to break up the Coles-Woolworths duopoly; there are 14 major supermakets in the EU, 12 in the US.....

5. Schulow says he will (if elected to the Senate) forcefully grill company execs and regulators, in commitees he thinks are too soft; but he acknowleges senators David Pocock(independent) and Barbara Pocock (Greens), and Liberal Andrew Bragg, as effective interrogators.
......

That's enough for me - he won't be getting my vote, because (to the above points):

1. Free market failure abounds in our complex globalized economy, just ask Trump; and also renters who can't afford rents in the private-sector, market-based policies which regard housing as a private investment vehicle.

2. Spot on - I agree on this point.

3. ...no kidding.....

4. The very outcome of 'free market' capitalist competition is small firms being swallowed up by more efficient ones.

5. Barbara Pocock is a former central bank employee (like Carney in Canada who will be as useless for young Canadians who can't afford housing as his Conservative opponent; they are all signed up to central bank neoliberal/neoclassical orthodoxy which is the cause of the economic dysfunction we see all around the world today.

Thanks for informing me sufficently, to be able to put Schulow well down on the ballot paper.

[It's too funny to see gnads, greggory, and bobby arguing over who is the 'deranged lefty', a classic case of the 'blind leading the blind'....

Neoclassical economists have them all by the 'short 'n curlies'....

As pointed out before, Schulow can't be accused of any of that; read the one page pdf:
