1
Hello, we're here to discuss the Victorian election.
2
This is going to be algorithmic death.
3
Algorithmic death, but Patreon life.
4
They have been clamoring for this video and I don't know why.
5
Here it is, you orders.
6
Leave me alone.
7
You have screwed up my algorithm posts.
8
This will absolutely impinge on my impressions.
9
Anyway, here you are.
10
If you want to sign up to Patreon, we will do this.
11
I feel like I'm one of the cast of jackass doing a dare.
12
This is just stupid.
13
But all right.
14
The other reason that it is dumb,
15
by the way, is we are talking about the Victorian election.
16
And the big question is, why?
17
Why do you care?
18
Is it because you live there?
19
Because I don't.
20
That's why I don't care.
21
But I also don't care for the other factors,
22
including, yes, let's go through the list of why this is going to be a tough election for Labor.
23
It's got that itch time factor,
24
that classic Australiana, can't get rid of it,
25
cultural cringe, as Paul Keating would say.
26
Oh, they've been around.
27
I'm sick of their face.
28
Let's give the other ones a go.
29
Why?
30
Because, you know, it's only fair giving them a go.
31
Yeah, that real underdog spirit.
32
But I think that, honestly,
33
that is just going to be offset by the fact that the Victorian Liberals are truly the underdog,
34
as in most Liberals don't want to be Liberals anymore.
35
Most Liberals want to be one nation truth tellers.
36
So they've got that going against them.
37
Just like I have this pizza here that's going against me.
38
The other one is that Alan,
39
not as popular, not as powerful as Andrews.
40
She's a bit of a,
41
hello, I'm a boring lady that you achieved the DMV as your manager on the wall.
42
But now I'm on your television.
43
You know, like she's a competent public servant.
44
But it's kind of hard to follow up Daniel Andrews, isn't it?
45
He's kind of like the Michael Jackson of state Victorian politics without the ped stuff.
46
Oh, no, I've set them off now.
47
You can tell just all the psychos in the audience.
48
He was mad.
49
He's mad at that hipster stuff.
50
So there's that.
51
Then on top of that,
52
you've also got the problem that Victoria Labor has made all of their big infrastructure announcements in the Andrews era.
53
Now what you're doing is implementing them.
54
So you can't come into this election saying,
55
we're going to build a big space tower.
56
Why?
57
You can't because it's all money that's been committed.
58
it's necessary to build the state,
59
but it doesn't have that,
60
yeah, I want a tilt-a-wheel,
61
I want a tilt-a-wheel next to the Melbourne,
62
next to the Melbourne try-hard eye,
63
right, like that, that's done,
64
you can't really say anything cool,
65
um, so there is all of those factors that's going into it,
66
but honestly, you talk to door knockers,
67
you talk to pollsters, it seems like the general mood is,
68
yeah, I'm sick of them,
69
but I don't trust the leaves,
70
that seems to be the general feeling of Victoria and so I don't really think that there's anything particularly wrong about that.
71
Frankly that seems to be a fair assessment.
72
Everybody always goes, what about One Nation?
73
What about One Nation, eh?
74
One Nation is the biggest godsend imaginable.
75
Look, I sincerely hoped that this One Nation phenomenon would keep rising after South Australia.
76
I'm on record saying it.
77
I wish that Victoria went One Nation just because I'm sick of you guys having come out of government too.
78
Look, I'm in that booth now.
79
I'm the, it's time, give the other ones a go.
80
I actually do think that about One Nation.
81
It'd be great to see them there implode.
82
Everyone gets a reminder.
83
Oh my God, we can't have those maniacs anywhere near the leaders of power.
84
You take one for the team,
85
you go to an early election,
86
probably about six months after you get elected again.
87
I'm giving them that long before it topples.
88
That'd be great.
89
Have some laughs along the way.
90
We'd learn some things.
91
Isn't that what life's all about?
92
That'd be great.
93
And then on top of that,
94
you just get the new lease of life and then it'd be that,
95
I'm sick of this mob.
96
Give the other ones a go.
97
You get another 12 years.
98
Look, that's what I hoped would have happened.
99
Honestly, from the bottom of my heart,
100
that's what I wish would have happened to you, Victoria.
101
But it doesn't look like it is.
102
It doesn't look like it is because don't you think that the One Nation factor is already waning?
103
Don't you think that globally,
104
the whole MAGA movement is already waning?
105
Don't you think that in 2016,
106
it was very cool to be a truth teller.
107
It was very cool to be like,
108
yeah, yeah, owning the libs.
109
It's not got that motion to it anymore, does it?
110
It doesn't have that drive.
111
It doesn't have that, ooh,
112
this is edgy and counterculture.
113
It's like, no, this is just straight up the culture now tell me
114
if you agree with this in the comments
115
but this is my assessment you know what i think is
116
becoming counter-cultural cool again sensible planning reasonable tomorrow like i really think
117
that like you're our gores of the world just these very sensible being counters like your allen's
118
and all that kind of stuff people are just craving
119
that oh thank god somebody that's normal you know thank god that's that's supposed to be there
120
that seems to be coming back
121
and thank god thank god you know what i mean like
122
these people are a solid 30-ish percent of the population
123
but the other 70 of the population that 40
124
that really determines elections there was a period of time where they would be looking at this
125
and being trump curious
126
but i think he satiated our curiosity at this point there is a 30
127
that are endlessly curious about the intellectual arguments of pauline hansen
128
which carl stefanovic monopolizes over but you know this is an audience
129
that he cynically plays to it's not the culture is it it's like a subculture now
130
so that's something else that i I suppose if you,
131
unlike me, don't want to see Pauline Hanson rise to prominence,
132
you should be quite relieved by that, I suppose.
133
The other thing that I would say is,
134
if you have somebody that thinks,
135
yeah, Pauline's got some good ideas,
136
you know what I hear over and over again,
137
and I've been saying there's been a really effective argument from our channel as well,
138
just linking her to Gina Reinhart,
139
I mean, it is the factual, undeniable, ironclad truth.
140
Pauline Hanson used to be this cool Australiana type of xenophobia.
141
This like, I hate Asians,
142
there's too many of them in my fish and chip shop.
143
Again, she reminded you of your auntie from rural Australia that you always look at her and think,
144
are you a closeted lesbian?
145
And I think that Pauline Hanson doesn't know the answer to that either.
146
She's still exploring.
147
But like, that kind of,
148
she used to be that.
149
That, now she is, well,
150
you know, I suppose your rural Facebook aunt that spends all the time on Facebook and just gets flooded with Maga bots.
151
And so that is her views now.
152
But that's what I'm saying.
153
It's not, it's not Australian anymore.
154
It's not patriotic.
155
It's this, you know, she's just a McDonald's franchise of Maga now.
156
She's bought a, she used to have a fish and chip shop.
157
She's bought a franchise.
158
That's really what it is.
159
And I think that as soon as you start pointing out,
160
Gina Reinhart is clearly funding her.
161
Even point out the plane thing.
162
Just be like, look at this plane.
163
courtesy a la gina reinhardt air a lot of those people
164
that are like yeah pauline hands we need to shake things up they see
165
that and they're like oh yeah yeah okay and they go away immediately
166
because there's something i'm saying this in a new video that's coming out
167
but there is something
168
that is undeniably likable about pauline to the australian psyche i
169
mean i get it i am you are we are australian you see pauline hansen
170
and she's got that underdog like yeah you get him pauline She's got that.
171
Gina Reinhardt does not have that, does she?
172
She is not an underdog.
173
She's a tall poppy, a big poppy too, very big poppy.
174
And so she is public enemy number one.
175
Everyone despises her across the spectrum.
176
They all hate Gina.
177
This is why I thought that this was unbelievable that you had the treasurer of Australia come out and say this.
178
Gina Reinhardt's company has bought a plane for Pauline Hanson.
179
What do you mean?
180
I think Pauline Hanson is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gina Reinhart.
181
And we know this because whenever Pauline Hanson is asked to vote in the interests of Australian workers,
182
she instead votes in the interests of Gina Reinhart.
183
Whether it's in industrial relations,
184
whether it's in cost of living relief,
185
what we've seen again and again from One Nation is they typically vote the way
186
that Gina Reinhart wants them to rather than how the workers and battlers of this country need them to.
187
If you go back through One Nation's voting record,
188
what you'll see is a very consistent pattern of voting against the interests of people who work
189
and people who struggle in this country.
190
And so I don't think it's a big surprise to see this very close relationship between between One Nation and Gina Reinhart.
191
Gina Reinhart's got an agenda.
192
She's flagged before.
193
She's flagged things like getting rid of the minimum wage and all of these sorts of things.
194
And I think pretty frequently we see One Nation dance to Gina Reinhart's tune.
195
I mean, that's perfect, isn't it?
196
That says it all.
197
I can't remember, you know,
198
Treasurers are usually much more careful than that.
199
Like, he just came out and said it.
200
That was good on you, Jim.
201
Can you stop impressing us?
202
Anyway, back to Victorian politics.
203
I think that the One Nation thing,
204
this is my prediction, it's always wrong.
205
So they're probably going to win now which I hope happens.
206
It's a very confusing prediction,
207
but I think that One Nation is probably going to fizzle.
208
I mean, you know, in the by-elections that happened recently,
209
it was a bit like, I mean, they're there.
210
Wasn't as good as they were hoping, was it?
211
So I think that that is probably just going to keep fizzling out.
212
I honestly think that One Nation mania has sort of already...
213
It's just like, whoa!
214
Kyle gets some views out of it.
215
That's the benefit to this country.
216
Doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
217
They don't seem to have anything,
218
like even in those by-elections,
219
it really just seemed to be,
220
here's my policy for the local area.
221
Ben Robert Smith is awesome.
222
It's just a bunch of culture war online.
223
It's a terminally online party.
224
So I don't think that that's that much of a threat.
225
I think honestly, again, this is just going to be one of those elections where you go to it,
226
everybody's just like, this doesn't excite me.
227
Yes, state politics, that's what it should be,
228
exciting to you all the time should be a carnival, shouldn't it?
229
Yay.
230
They're just going to go there and they're going to say,
231
okay, well, these are clearly trained wrecks.
232
This will get sharpened more and more when you get to the election
233
and people actually focus on it instead of just you people on my Patreon that are focused on this.
234
I'm going to assure you right now.
235
Thank you very much for sustaining my life,
236
but I don't think anybody else is thinking about this except you.
237
No offense, okay?
238
Please continue to support this channel.
239
And anybody else that wants to support this channel as well,
240
that would be great because we would really really like more staff
241
so that we can push out more because honestly
242
if there is one threat it is the fact
243
that every single one of these little ecosystems is just festering
244
their own little echo chamber we need to start puncturing all of them
245
that needs to start happening
246
and we simply do not have the manpower to monitor all of them
247
so
248
that would be the big goal of this channel anyway we're
249
doing suggestions of what you want to see as a video in a poll
250
that we will be doing at the end of the week
251
so can you give me some suggestions that have some clickability please
252
but at the same time honestly like i seriously do mean this
253
thank you from the bottom of my heart this is my
254
gift to you believe me it is a gift wogger aubry newcastle
255
and all of america i'm coming with a show links below and how to get those

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
