Policies & Commentary
Susantha Abeysinghe is back! And he’s discovered AI. Sadly, he is still yet to discover proof-reading.
It’s very hard to figure out what exactly Abeysinghe is running on – his ‘policy statements’ consist of a series of always garish, frequently incoherent AI images. Which sometimes can be easily interpreted, and sometimes not.
I’m going to boil them down to bullet points, and provide extensive links to the images (on his Facebook), but it’s up to you whether you want to look there. And I can’t promise I’ll get through all of them – there’s more than 200 images. I’ll do my best, but I reserve the right to stop when my eyes begin to bleed.
- Dental and Eye Care to be covered under Medicare is a recurring theme: 1 — 2 — 3
- Everything is the ALP’s fault, no matter how little sense that makes: 1 — 2 — 3
- He is definitely opposed to Wage Theft — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 61This last one is more than usually puzzling – since Jesus is the only non-courier in this image, does that mean he’s the wage thief?
- He has strong feelings about how much money the government spends on indigenous people, but it’s unclear which direction they run in — 1 — 2 — 3
- He’s still banging the drum for large scale irrigation — 1 — 2 — 3
- He’s opposed to nuclear power: 12It’s doubly weird that one of the few almost entirely factual images is specifically labelled “Not a factual claim” — 2 — 3
- And finally, he’s a big fan of Trump, and likes to uncritically parrot Trump’s propaganda: 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — 6 — 7
There’s more, of course, but that’s a solid representative sample. I haven’t troubled myself to check any of the figures or claims, because if any of them are correct, that’s more luck than talent on the AI’s part.
I do not think that a vote for Susantha Abeysinghe is a good choice. He has some good policies, but also some absolute clangers. He clearly loathes Albanese, Taylor and Hanson, but he seems to love Trump. I feel that there’s more bad than good here, and I would place him low on the ballot (although probably ahead of One Nation).
That said, some of his original3For a value of ‘original’ that includes ‘AI-generated’ songs aren’t bad. This one’s a banger.
Oooph, this one was a lot. The AI images are very loud and the dental care one did something to my eyes. Not even clear to me from the image whether he liked free dental care or not. But not going to be so brave as to delve further down that page. Certainly an eclectic range of policies and perspectives.
