This reminds me of those cheap and terrible NSW Young Labor posters from when I was at university. The one that comes to mind was an anti-Howard one which was a play on that “Priceless” Mastercard ad.
Then again, the people who ran NSW Young Labor when I was in university now run the NSW Branch of the ALP so it really shouldn’t be a surprise.

I think it is very crucial that multiculturalism is about this right to oscillate and not just about the right to belong to ‘this or that ethnic culture’. We should give no space for the odd racist ethnic community ‘representatives’ who allow themselves to police ethnic culture and how to belong to it. We have no need for people who claim the right to fix us in what they consider is the ‘appropriate’ cultural slot.

Nearly Everything Is Better: I'm running for Lord Mayor - here's why

nearlyeverythingisbetter:

So a few of you may have seen in the Sydney Morning Herald that I’m running for Labor preselection to be the candidate for Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney.

Cassandra Wilkinson, one of the candidates for Labor preselection for Sydney Lord Mayor, writes about why she is running. The other six declared candidates are listed here.

Labor will be running a community preselection which means 50% of the vote will be determined by members of the public. It means if you are on the electoral roll and live in the City of Sydney, you’ll get to have a say in who is the candidate, like in a primary.

While I’m a member of an opposing faction, it’s great to see her outlining her vision for the City of Sydney. I hope that other candidates do something similar soon

The most significant obstacles to a social democratic revival turn out to come not from structural or environmental factors, nor from the vibrancy of alternative ideological approaches, but from intellectual fallacies and a loss of will on the part of the left itself.
