[AU] As people want Tony Abbott out, conservatives form "Advance Australia" - Polidicks

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/nov/20/warringah-activists-task-ousting-tony-abbott 'This is the moment': activists warm to the task of ousting Tony Abbott More than 600 people turned up to a GetUp information night in Tony Abbott’s Sydney seat of Warringah on Tuesday night – a sign that the former prime minister is facing a highly organised and well-supported campaign against his re-election from within his own community. The group is organising kitchen table conversations throughout the electorate to encourage voters to elect a local member more aligned with their views on climate change. The disparate groups are working together to find a suitable independent candidate as an alternative to Abbott. On Monday a group of millionaire business figures announced they were launching a political organisation called Advance Australia to campaign against Labor’s economic policies and to counter progressive campaigns such as GetUp’s against the most conservative sitting Liberal MPs. “We Advance Australia when mainstream values are at the core of our way of life,” its website says. “Australia has always been about a fair go. Sadly, our governments aren’t listening and powerful elites and leftwing activists currently dictate our future.” It warns that in the world of elites and leftwing activists “mainstream culture and traditional families are frowned upon, sexuality is brandished as identity, gender can be fluid with over 40 different categories, and victimhood is a badge of honour as well as a free pass”. The organisation’s advisory committee includes the former ABC chairman and business executive Maurice Newman, who has been an outspoken climate change sceptic. It is also campaigning for lower taxes, an end to subsidies, and religious freedom. “We are in the position of the battle of Stalingrad … we have retreated to such an extent we need to hold our ground somewhere and start to push back,” he said. TL;DR Insane millionaires form a right-wing activism group to counter actual Australians protesting real issues.

It seems "a fair go" has become the catchphrase of powerful elites and ultra conservative fuckwits. Also wtf you are the powerful elites who steer what the liberals do.

A bunch of millionairs who’s political party is in government complaining about how ‘powerful elites’ and leftwing activists are dictating the future lmao

It is also campaigning for lower taxes, an end to subsidies, and religious freedom. I can understand fat cats wanting lower taxes and no subsidies just to get even richer, but whats up with the religious freedom part

Religious freedom for Catholics so they can discriminate against the gays etc. They're probably still sour about same sex marriage

try not to turn into the US

Yeaaaah, they did the whole concentration camp thing before us. Too late. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_immigration_detention_facilities

GetUp is a joke. Tony Abbott is a cunt. But god damn, Getup needs to fucking disappear. Even the electoral comission is stuck on whether to call GetUp an associated entity of labor.

What? They've already made their decision mate, it's not associated with any party. Unless you have some proof they are a puppet of Labor then your claims are absolutely baseless.
