@AvidCommentator They do know. It is there intention. They want society to break down so they can rebuild it in a new form. These same people are openly hostile to capitalism.
@GreenTyler27@JasonFielding They can. YOU know they can. They choose not to because they already know the answer which they are trying to avoid. The biggest scam is the claim that that the RBA is independent when the treasurer chooses the RBA governed.
@JasonFielding@GreenTyler27 Its not incompetence. These people are very intelligent. Its deliberate and nefarious. Blaming it on incompetencie enables their behaviour
@Dittloff4Sense My opinion is the libertarian party focuses too much on fringe issues that Libertarians care about rather than offering Libertarian solutions to problems that the large majority care about. It sets a very low ceiling on the support the party can get.
@TMFScottP Why would maximising government revenue be a goal. We are a broken society. Government was meant to provide a safety net, not a mechanism to extract as much wealth as possible out of hard working people to feed politicians, beauracrats and their special interest groups.
@DrCameronMurray A big problem is that people often refer to the number of houses in existence interchangeably with the number of houses for sale when referring to housing supply. People are often discussing completely different things while trying to determine causal effects.
@cmkusher Why does everyone assume the cost of building a new home is fixed? Building sub contractors earn far higher than award wages and would likely reduce their prices if their was a large downturn in construction. Prices don't always go up.
@DrCameronMurray Couldn't the cost of builders wages decrease also in a prolonged downturn? This seems likely if there is a drop in demand for new dwellings.
@DrCameronMurray Housing is a consumer good and like all other consumer goods, paying less for shelter leaves more money to purchase other consumer goods to increase your living standard. Houses naturally depreciate without governments intentionally setting policies to manipulate the market.
@senatorpennyqld@HJoyOz@mndaustralia@MNDQueensland An inquiry is just a way to do nothing while pretending to do something. This behav is why people are so tired of politicians. If i was fraudulent in my business I'd be in jail but if it's government $ it's acceptable. Just tax us more and cover it up
@TMFScottP Premeditation isn't necessary for a lie. Making a commitment that you are indifferent about honouring is a lie. When you make a commitment you are saying you will actively make an effort to keep it and will break it as a last resort.
@AvidCommentator It's just an automatic programmed response they have been intentionally trained to reply to this topic. Don't let the empty suits get to you. You are doing great work advocating for those who are worst off in our society π
