Instead of the word moderate use sane instead… what a coincidence you did use sane.

I hope the liberal party do it and destroy the party. Just not looking forward to the media both siding the “debate” again like in the 2000’s and bring back Malcolm Roberts into the spotlight. It really does feel humanity is cooked figuratively and literally.

That is why I added the “or more” as I thought there to be more but wasn’t motivated to look it up.

As for the contempt I as referring to Paul not yourself. I prefer less hierarchy not more so I agree with the concept of not having a senate but acknowledge it seems to be working mostly fine at the moment.

I watch that constitution professor from time to time because you posted her channel so time ago, thanks for that.

I hold a similiar position without the contempt. To many layers of government with things like States being a concept of a distance past. With modern communication, the need for geographic divisions is unnessary. I have 5 or more members who represent me geographically(council,state lower, state upper, federal lower, federal upper) that is too many.

Also I don’t have high opinion of Keating either, just another neo-liberal who made life harder for the generations after boomers.

And so what are labor going to do about it? It will be likely close to a decade of labor being in power and at the half way mark they have done absolutely nothing in the backdrop of world wide discontent. I have no doubt Alabnese is going down in history as one of the most useless PM’s in history.

they just feel anything that outrages them is important

Interesting distinction. Do you have any further reading on this? I am not on any social media, thus I have no real world experience with doom/outrage scrolling, so I cannot make judgement about the plausibility of the statement.

There was a time just before big tech where consensus was humans where causing global warming due to burning fossil fuels. This was undermined in less than a decade by journalists and the biggest companies back then; Fossil fuel companies.

Journalists are not the truth seeking warrior class they claim themselves to be. The population by large wants to be outraged, didn’t need algorithms to tell us, just read historical news. So journalists need to be regulated but covid showed they would rather burn the world to the ground than be restricted in anyway for a greater good.

Nah, just higher moral standards than your typical Internet vigilante. I wouldn’t take a photo and post it to the Internet, I would tell it to their face because I am not a coward.

I don’t think it is right to post these things. It is a random image with a given context that could be completly made up to suit a narritive that might not be true and possibly damaging to those shown in the image.

I only got the Efficient Wage Theory for Gemini 2.5 pro and from the description I wasn’t convinced of it’s application to reality.

Coincidentally I asked Gemmi yesterday to give some modern economic theories where productivity can increase without suppressing wages. It couldn’t!

In some ways expectations are probably too high as post world war low inequality appears to be a historical anomaly and nothing we are going back too as currently countries are competitive for capital and not cooperative enough to stop capital following exploitation.

Don’t read past what I wrote as there is no hidden message or meaning, I just don’t mock anymore - not that I beleive in the conspiracy. Facts refer to any situtation where some Jewish lobby had an effect. Eg. Antoinette Lattouf. They never used to be able to counter with anything but now they can.

I don’t mock those that believe the conspiracy that Jewish control the world anymore and just say nothing because they can now counter with facts. It has definitely been eye opening just how much influence they have over politics.

Muhamed Haneef all over again.

Albanese is so pathetic, Bibi recently made some derogatory comments about him and Albanese being the most spineless PM in modern history bends the knee to Bibi with accusations we have Iranian terror cells in Australia.

Again throwing brown people under the bus.

Cannot take this argument seriously. In a world with a recent uptick in violence and perceived decline, the article is praising a person that has no values and does very little as the epitome of leadership.

This implies Australia’s million average home value is caused by paper work! It is not realisitic. No government is going to significantly mess with house prices while home owners are the majority. Even if they build more, they will just increase immigration.

I don’t really get how this would improve anything. We already dual income system. Most capital gains likely get a 50% discount. Invest under a company for likely a flat 25%.

Cynically we know what is going to come of this summit, Corporate tax rate will be lowered to 25%.

I don’t like to reduce explainations to -isms but I cannot think of a better reason. They just think brown people/Muslims are inferior and doesn’t upset them at the injustice of killing them compared to the deaths of white/Christian/Jew.

Can anyone explain to me why? Why Israel gets so much mainstream media attention? Israel is practically irrelevant to Australia’s future.

I diverge from common thoughts here. I don’t want my productivity going to prop up business lobby groups. Colesworth is the result of an economic system that cannot resolve the need for more efficiencies via economies of scale monopolies and the need for much competition to get an accurate price signal. No Australian party wants to tamper with the current economic system, so it was obvious this ACCC report was leading to nothing.

Are there any Australian public Lithium mining companies that are growing? I have looked a couple of times, nothning extensive and they all are in decline.
