What do you say?

I'm so sick of my Dad trashing the Labor party. Unfortunately I am a dunce when it comes to economics, so I don't know what to really say. He keeps saying how great Malcolm Turnbull is. I've heard Malcolm is for gay marriage, and that affected me so I remembered. I don't know anything else about him really, other than I remember reading he'd done some dodgy stuff in the past.

Please, if you get what's going on with the economy, could you make it easy and explain it to me? Not that we've had a crash - I get that. How Labor is handling it, and what the errors with their handling might be. I'm sick of not having anything to say when my Dad gets stuck in. He thinks I'm a stupid left-wing moron.

Wow. Just...wow.

What? I'm not saying that we should be a communist nation or anything. Jeez.

No, I'm just shocked that your dad is on the dole and he's complaining about Labour and you being on the left. Sorry that wasn't clear.

EDIT: I want to take this opportunity to reiterate my hatred of the Internet's inability to fully convey human language and meaning. Thank you.

OH Okay. LOL! Phew! Thanks. LOL! Yeah, I don't get it either. He's not on the dole, he's retired, so he's on the senior's pension.

Amen. That's landed me in hot water with this one more than once. :P
