My god is that for real? It’s hard to tell what is real and satire anymore… Sounds like an excuse a 5 yr old would come up with to explain how a cookie got out of the cupboard and into their hands.

I’m not going I argue that any of the messaging was great or even good but I’m going to challenge on some of these claims Do you have any experience with anyone that works in marketing or any kind of messaging / media? how exactly are you presenting these “interviews images or stories from...

Sure What do you find factually incorrect and / or abhorrent about my claims 1. That the core tenet of democracy ie choice is information? 2. My assertion that the onus is not on others to dispute lies and misinformation in other things where the government and people are involved ie...

Rubbish. 1. You’re saying it’s the responsibility of those pushing for yes to police lies and misinformation from the No campaign? That’s a ridiculous position to take. To say that and still without any irony say, “democracy hasn’t failed” is absurd. If you were charged and taken to...

Well no this is yet again evidence , on top of repeated evidence before that democracy doesn’t really work. Because democracy is the freedom of choice, the catch, choice is INFORMED. People are just manipulated so easily. Information twisted. Fears played on. The whole basis of the no...

I kind of get the feeling, that if there’s anyone around to study our civilisation in 1000 years, it’s not the era where we scrounged around in the mud working out how to use our fingers, not the generations that tried to heal simple ailments with bizarre barbaric crude methods, it will be the...

Democracy as an ideal is good, but let’s face it, letting the general people decide when the general pop are idiots is now so entirely predictable it would be funny if it wasn’t also a little sad.

https://amp.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/lawyer-x-investigator-threatens-to-quit-because-prosecutors-won-t-charge-police-20230621-p5di95.html This quote from the former judge assigned is pretty damning… “If, therefore, the government or parliament decides that OSI should continue to...

My job literally does not exist in Adelaide. Like whatsoever. My partner plateaued in her government position at $70k and the only position above her was never going to leave anytime remotely soon. She can find other jobs in Adelaide but there’s limited upward mobility cause once anyone...

So nothing I’ve said is wrong you just dispute being grouped into an era where you acknowledge it was easier? Which is fine. Again. None of what i said what predicated on you having bought a house or not. You know costs of living have gone up. Housing has gone up. Indexation means people are in...

A) That was quoted from and addressed to bomber, who said he paid his off by 30 and agreed he couldn’t do that today. B) I didn’t say hecs was a rort, I said the cost of tertiary education was a rort, and it is. Try to figure out what the hell you and your missus paid 6 figures for. It’s...

None of what I’ve said was predicated on any assumption about your age or house ownership. Whether you owned a house or not you can see reason that paying a hecs debt off by 30 is not something easily done anymore, or that your partners mission to pay off most of her debt by 37 is even harder...

You said first of the hecs era and I took that as a lot longer than 7 years ago? Especially since my missus was at uni 7 years ago and I’m sure hecs was around long before that? You mean you got into the housing market 7 years ago? Houses have gone up a heck of a lot since then. Cost of living...

The price of teritiary education is a ******* rort. there’s no way it should cost that much money to sit in an old building while people read some crap from old books so you can get a piece of paper that lets you go out into the world and then have to learn what you actually need to know anyway...

It’s a pretty common price here in Sydney.

I don’t know if it’s just Sydney or what but since I’ve been here I’ve noticed veal schnittys go for about $120 a kilo at butcher’s and that seems unreal to me. What’s veal code for gold plated diamonds?

The threats of unemployment rising and interest rates going up has a real ‘listen here you little shits’ vibe For most people wages will go up by negligible amounts while the costs of necessities skyrockets every year. 7% inflation? Not even close to a real reflection of real world increases...

Lol wtf? I’m not sure that I’ve gone into any detail about whose to blame about rents other than negative gearing and turning housing into investments has obviously had an affect on driving houses up, which is a pretty well accepted fact. I think you’ve amalgamated a bunch of different posters...

I’m not sure how this is any sort of counter argument to anything?

Totalitarian dictators still have to keep the wealthy and connected on-side. As I’ve said several times, these subs aren’t a deterrent against China, they’re the cost to be in the club we’re in. You could argue the club is the deterrent… maybe.

Yes that and also, we’re about as much under threat of Chinese attack as an alien invasion. What’s the Chinese gonna do? If they drop a bomb on Sydney they’ll kill as many Chinese as aussies anyway. and they’re not povo students either, they’re kids driving audis and taking up the $900...

Support ground forces do what? What in the air are they doing stuff to? As I said before, we’re not buying subs to deter china, we’re buying subs to keep our allies happy. That’s the price to be in their club.

When was the last big naval battle again? Who thinks China is going to enter in a full scale all out attack with the west? If China is willing to attack / invade Australia things must already be so dire and so far gone a few subs isn’t a consideration. Also, as I mentioned elsewhere, we’re...

I don’t think whether people can afford it is the issue, the issue is that it’s a gimmick to distract from the fact they’re doing nothing to address the problems. My daughter can gain $7200 so she can put towards housing that will likely cost $4m+.

4-5 submarines would have absolutely zero bearing on whether China chooses violence or not. I mean, why would it? If China is going to go that far there’s way worse repercussions that they’re already ignoring. Saying 5 submarines would be some sort of stick against China going rogue...

The absurd one for me is how the heck they’ve managed to inception the idea into these idiots heads that billionaires have built their wealth off of genius and hard work but the common man is the leach. Why should Amazon, gina rinehart, and all the other national and multinational powerhouses...

You’re just further elaborating on my original statement we have a governance problem not a population growth problem

It’s something I’ll take advantage of if it’s available, but it’s a stupid gimmick that doesn’t address the real problems. Just a distraction. 400 x 18 years is $7200 Great, they’ll give us $7200 to give to our kids, but at this rate houses in nsw will be $4,000,000m+ for a shitty 2-3br an...

There’s 3 things to think about here 1. That half a percent needs to be put into perspective For us 1.3% is about 325,000 For a lot of countries 0.6 % is in the millions USA for example would be over 2 million. 2. Were a much younger country Look up what the population growth was in any...

As i said Australia didn’t invent the desert. Africa and Asia have plenty of uninhabitable places. And as I pointed out, just to raise the 3.3 people per a square km by a couple of people would take millions of people. That’s a fair gulf from 3.3 to the 70+ most places have. Africa , a...
