Hey ALTRAV,
For them, democracy and nationalism is a bus.
They ride it until the get to their destination and then get off.

Also it'd be just as valid to say we've been incredibly foolish, lazy and ignorant than it would be to give the other side credit for their cleverness.

Aidan,

Bill Shorten was one of the founding members, but the only one that brought $100 000 of unauthorised money from his union to start GetUp. The group is controlled entirely by a small clique of labor/green members.

Getup is also extremely party political, as its attacks are almost exclusively against coalition MPs and most are not related to a specific cause.

Value for money is an objective not a tactic
Aidan,
Really ? So, in your opinion the outrageous salaries paid to bureaucrats for doing very little in comparison to other Public Servants who struggle to keep their jobs by covering for their line managers are justified ?

pretty sad when those opposing gay marriage (wasn't long back Penny Wong and Julian Gillards opposed it) are considered extremist. The left who call everyone who disagrees with them Nazis demonstrate far more violence than anyone else in Australia. Getup and Antifa are good examples. They even ignore that their so called right wing murderer in NZ was a supporter of China. They never let the truth get in the way of their lying narrative.

Haven't heard much from the likes of GetUp! and ANTIFA for a while.

Should we be worried about that?
Are they hiding in the shadows like cockroaches planning their next scheme?
Or is it that ANTIFA protesters as mainly Uni Students and their weirdo Professor handlers go on holidays over the school and Christmas break and they need a few months to indoctrinate the new students after coming back and re-align all the others after their drunken debauched drug-fueled holiday breaks?

Get Up has every right to promote its own causes, as does any other entity.

It is called democracy.
