@peters_malcolm The Aust Govt 26-27 budget is just under $30,000 for every man, woman and child in Australia.
$833 billion for a population of 28 million.
36% of the ppl don’t have jobs because they’re children of retired or whatever.
Exclude them and the govt is spending >$43,800 per worker.
@SandyXiaotong That’s an absolutely insane exchange.
“There’s no evidence linking this attack to Pauline and Helen never even appeared in any of the cartoons but we are big mad about how effective they are so we are going to imply that this is a link and it’s simply unproven at this stage.”
@AshPolitik This is divisive, intolerant and monocultural.
Ironically it foreshadows the future tipping point when the left will realise that the crocodile they’ve been feeding is about to eat them too and they will suddenly turn to the right (that they vilify now) for protection.
@PaulZauch@AshPolitik I’m not big on horseshoe theory. It tries too hard to equivocate between certain evils and explain away the fact that it is the collectivist ideologies that have the most problems.
In what meaningful sense were Nazis right wing? They permitted the existence of private property?
@GBNEWS@Brand2204@Alexarmstrong What nation is the old man talking about defending? The majority in London? The cities full of multiculturalism?
The old men and women failed to preserve the nation THEY inherited from the giants who went before.
Easy for them to talk about courage and cowardice.
@peters_malcolm I guess we should ban all contact and combat sports immediately?
If people can’t tell ththe difference between cartoons and reality, they’re really going to struggle when the sportspeople are real!
@JeremyVineOn5@writtenbysalma@Mattallwright The only reason Brits won’t do the jobs is because they have a choice.
That’s easily changed with enough political will or necessity due to national bankruptcy.
@MaxJames81396@PeterLawrence18 Maybe they did waste the $40b.
Is Victoria better off today for having spent all that money?
It doesn’t seem like it. The hospital and ambulance systems are worse off. The people are worse off per capita. The State has higher debt than ever.
Perhaps that money was all wasted.
@peters_malcolm I don’t know how much research we need.
Anyone with an ounce of wisdom understands that people have complex motivations but the biggest driver is perceived self-interest including the interests of our family or the community we belong to.
We just need wiser leaders.
@MaxJames81396@PeterLawrence18 I don’t know anyone other than actual members of ScoMo’s government who want to defend their record.
You’re plainly wrong about the topic though. Victoria is mentioned 3 times explicitly.
Don’t be a partisan hack, Max. Don’t deflect and pivot. Address the Victorian response.
