What I wanted to see in this budget was how the government plans to improve its efficiency and boost national productivity.
But there’s none of that. If this were a company, shareholders would be furious. And in this case, the shareholders are Australians - and our standard of living is the share price. Thoughts?
The more I learn, the more troubled I have become about giving puberty blockers to youth. Minors cannot drive, vote, join the army, get a tattoo, smoke, or drink, because we know that children do not fully understand the consequences of decisions with life-long ramifications. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions, doesn’t fully mature until the early to mid-20s. I don’t think children can genuinely consent to repurposed castration drugs (puberty blockers) and surgical mutilation, which have permanent, irreversible effects. People with gender dysphoria or who want to change their gender deserve compassion and respect, but these terribly consequential procedures should be deferred till adulthood. We must protect our children.
@BennyJames83 Hahaha I was waiting for it. I’m still hopeful!
