I think politics every where is headed the way America is. We all have similar problems. The scale is obviously different and the words are different but it seems everything is done to extreme levels these days. I know Axl has been vocal about Trump since he came to power and that's fine everyone is allowed to have an opinion and no one should be kicked for having an opinion, the world would be a fucked place if we all agreed with everything. But that doesn't mean I agree with what Axl says or how he says it. Sebbie the same to a degree, insulting Trump supporters because he hates Trump is not the way to do things. Our leaders stab each other in the back, rort money like it's going out of fashion, carry on like kids and they still say they are doing what the public want.
As far as the bush fires comments go I think Trump is an insensitive prick for saying what he did, but that doesn't mean what Axl and co did was right. In '09 when the worst bushfires in 70 years went through here the Environmentalist were on the bandwagon saying the major parties ignoring back burning and clearing for fires caused it, then in as many words blamed the governments for the 170 deaths that happened as the fires burnt. Technically they were probably right, mismanagement of the forests was a big reason the fires took off (despite being deliberately lit) but while the fire is still burning and the body count is still rising is not the time to make political statements. What Trump said was silly but just because Axl thought he was right doesn't mean he should have opened his mouth.

I don't think they should have done it the way they did either. But it's personal for them. They live in Cali. And this thing with forest management and Trump and Cali goes back a lot further then this recent spat.
By the ay I think I should delete my post now lol. This ain't the place for it.

Aint going to offend me where you put it 
I get that things are personal to some people (although I also admit to not knowing where Axl and Sebbie live) and I get that what was said was insensitive. I also understand wanting to react to such a situation. When the fires went through here there was a lot of angry people. Even without the political point scoring humans in general are arseholes to each other. We had pricks looting the houses before the embers were cool. I also feel for Axl and co if they have lost anything, but I also feel for the non celebs who aren't part of the big Twitterverse that lost stuff too.

I'm of the opinion nothing is off topic
Oh yeah I heard Martin Sheen was missing but then found. But the best one I heard was that Alissa Malano put out message looking for somewhere to put her horses and James Woods offered her shelter...but the big news part of it was that AM opposes Trump and JW supports Trump but the two came together in the hour of need and assisted each other. It's a modern day miracle!!!!

WTF is all that?
To be fair you can't argue American politics with me, I don't know enough about it to form an arguement. I might not be a huge fan of Trump, but I wouldn't have a clue who his opposing party is or what they stand for, (I don't really know what Trump stands for). I might call Trump names and laugh at him, I might even make comments about how stupid the things he says sound but that's neither support or non support.
I would imagine you would be the same arguing our politics. We have a different system, doesn't work much better than America right now but it's different, and therefore you'd have trouble forming an educated opinion without research. But I'd never stop you calling our PM a fuckwit if that was what you desired...I wouldn't even ask you to clarify your insult.

Oh I'm sure I would. But some things are literally just listening to what someone says and does. Them personally. Not hearsay.
I'm not even taking sides here, it's pretty black and white. I don't belong to either of those parties. But one party is very vocal about peoples rights and the environment and has a history of trying to make things work. And one party yells and insults people and is responsible for overturning environmental laws and trying to do the same with people's rights. and preaches one thing and then does the other. One party tries to be diplomatic and one uses the bully tactic. It's been that way my entire life. But it's much worse now.
And personally I have problems with both parties and like some things about both. but I do agree with more things with one party. I'm for the planet over personal wealth. We only have one, without it we're all toast. And I don't believe keeping certain people down is the right way to go about things. If you have to deny things to one side because you are afraid of losing. Then you probably don't deserve to have it.

See over here we really only get the greatest hits. "Trump said this", "Trump said that", "Trump is racist". The thing is that could all be true but it does only paint half the picture. We get lots and lots about the opposition not liking something he does but I wouldn't have a clue who that opposition is. I watch the news most days but what we get here about the US is definitely not fair reporting even if Trump is the worst thing to happen to the USA. For instance our news services literally did lead the Cali fires stories with "big wildfires, Martin sheen missing, Trump said something insensitive and Alissa Milano's horses were in danger", there was a few other words in the news segment but that was the gist of what they were saying. The next story went on to tell us how bad Trump's words were and who disagreed with them. Now all that may be fact but it doesn't tell the full story. We obviously don't vote in your elections but if we did we couldn't make an informed decision based on what we see and hear. Mind you Fox (Murdoch) owns half our media here too so it's not surprising we only get a partial story.
Yeah I only get bits and pieces of Australian news. More if I watch the bbc or something. But it's never been shown in a sensationalized way. I certainly wouldn't know who was right or wrong in their opinions unless it's something that happens universally or is just common sense like...dogs shouldn't be given machine guns and laughing gas lol.
Fox is a propaganda machine. So much so you gotta laugh. it's just so clearly one-sided. It has been since after 9/11. But they're out of control now lol. If people want news they should watch bbc or public broadcasting.

We kept getting praised for our gun laws here so definitely no dogs with machine guns. Actually that is a good thing for more than one reason, if the dogs really did have guns they would rise up and run the country and prove just how badly our politicians have done.
It was reported here that Murdoch basically conned the country several elections ago to get the governing party out of power. It was laced with some quite reasonable arguments given that the party his papers, radio stations and tv stations wanted in also want to relax media laws, relax gambling laws and give tax breaks to the rich...all things Murdoch had a hand in. But it was never really proven. Turn the cards 4 years and the party he supposedly wanted in power is now struggling, they can't govern, they are making mistake after mistake and their polls are consistently low and suddenly Murdoch's papers don't know who to abuse. They want one mob out but don't want the other mob in.

Maybe dogs should rise up lol.
Man I believe it. Murdoch is a shady mofo. Sounds just like how he runs Fox news here.
Take that caravan that's coming here. Personally I don't like the idea of thousands of unknown people showing up here either.
But on fox they say things like it's being paid for by the evil un American democrats and liberal this and that and Trump takes off from what they say and vice versa.
No evidence at all that any of it is true. In the weeks coming up to the midterms Trump talks about troops and the evil caravan to get his base pumped up. Sending maybe 15000 troops. More troops than just about anywhere. Something the whole military basically says is stupid and unneeded and they wouldn't even be doing anything but picking up the shit the border patrol horses drop. And costing a fortune. But he's rallying these things fiercely, and it's not a stunt it's not a stunt. Fox news talks about the caravan something like 21 times a segment. After the elections for control of the house. Only once lol. It's just gone.

We don't have thousands (I don't think) but refugees coming here by boat get dumped on an island and told to stay there. We've got thousand marching every week trying to get them off the island and we've got kids there that were born there but neither government wants to take responsibility, however each side is still wrong when the two side bicker about it. If it wasn't so serious it would be funny!
That part of the election just happened is another part of your system we don't all understand. We have one vote (every 4 years max) and vote in or out the party, and vote for our local member of whatever party we chose. The senate and the seats in that parliament are chosen by the winning party from those who won their local vote. No win no seat. There is no mid term but parties can oust their own leaders any time they like. At present we are still joking here that we've got time for another PM before christmas
