@XiezzLee @reignitedem I understood they willingly participated in someone’s podcast. There has to be an implied knowledge and consent when you are being interviewed on a podcast.

Is this not the case? They just inadvertently got recorded by an unknown 3rd party?

@taipan168 That reputation is so badly damaged it is a decade away from being a realistic option.

ALP are already running the usual scare campaigns. They know all they need is get people to vote Green/Teal and they walk back in with a huge majority.

Let’s not forget only 34% last election

@tanya_plibersek A Labor MP talking about running a scare campaign.

You better sit this one out!

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@lesstenny Around 70% of Australians are home owners. Of those, around 22% also own an investment property. Of the 22%, about 1% of those have multiple properties.

Your 2% figure is just made up hoping people won’t check it out.

A thought experiment:

If for the purposes of this, we suspend a belief that religious scripts are ‘direct words of God’ and accept they are just teachings of an ordinary man, which religions would be able to stand up in modern times?

I think Buddhism would.

Any other?

@payenihari @Chydee I’m not British and have no dog in this fight… but let’s even say the number is grossly exaggerated by 1000x - are you ok that 250 girls were groomed and abused?

The acceptable number in civil society should be ZERO.

There are reports of 1100 individual victims. That’s crazy.

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@tanya_plibersek The same shallow scaremongering. For a group that always complains their opponents don’t accept situations can be ‘nuanced’, ironically totally providing a single dimension without nuance.

People accept any group that come here to assimilate into the existing culture.

@omgsidewalks In general, they are the people that see an opportunity and have the know how to maximise the potential and turn it into value.

In short, they capitalise the opportunities better than others.

@JennyTa22393082 Another person that equates a degree with intelligence and a lack of formal qualifications as a lack of intellect.

I’ll take lived experience every day of the week.

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@rn_lilydale What’s crazier?

That they continue using the same old scaremonger playbook?

Or that people continue to fall for it?

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@ProudSocialist Early man chose the most powerful as leader. Then it became whoever controlled the most power claimed leadership. Then they invented ways to control the power to maintain leadership - like currency to mark ability to acquire power. Eventually this resulted in modern capitalism.

@ThoughtsSending Approx 5 million Australians pay $0 tax (reported under threshold).
Of those that paid tax, the amount that Hancock Prospecting alone paid, was about the same as the next 175,000 Australian tax payers. So you could say she already paid more tax than 5.1 million Australians.

@markreabaker @elonmusk I’ve never met a poor housing developer.

If he did this it would soon be twisted into - look how he’s helping his rich mates.

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@OhMyGatos2020 @WallStreetApes Much harder to hide a few million in theft and fraud in $50 million… so much easier to siphon off $10 million when you have a $1bn … that’s only 1% - a rounding error.

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@skumWgmi 40 years ago had you said that $71k would be almost a million, he never would have believed you.

Just like you buying an $800k house could likely be almost 8 million in another 40 years time. It seems unbelievable now, but we won’t know for another 40 years, just be patient.

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@CatherineKingMP We haven’t become multicultural, we are serial uni-cultural.

We have communities that have tried to maintain their own community and culture, religions and rules. Including their intolerance.

In no way does that describe people that “combined” to advance Australia.

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@MarkoMatvikov It’s worse than that… large corporations that can afford to leave are the ones that will… it makes financial sense.

Small to medium businesses can’t afford that but now face an increasing burden.

These are the same policies they tout as aimed to help SMB.

@WesternLensman The most profitable industry on this planet is Racial Division.

And to win in this industry, they know they can’t beat you, so they keep making sure you fight one another while they climb to the top.

[The Digital Dodo @TheDigitalDodo]

@KrystalWaterfor @AngelaBelcamino They did this in Australia too. The study showed the opposite. Comparatively, X was lower risk than Bluesky.

Know what else they didn’t ban? Pornhub (is now after public outcry). What’s the largest groomer application? Roblox - also not restricted.

It’s not about protection.
