@AvidCommentator That that is being repeated as newsworthy shows how fucked people really are, can imagine him on the phone to Hegseth at night saying, ‘I bet I can get this trending’
@AndrewNJHawkins 7yo entire sounds exciting too, won good races as a young horse, trained on, could easily come here have a competitive season and add to breeding?
@cmkusher Problem is, at least on here, no one seems to want nuance. If not in complete agreement we get called either a communist or a right wing nut. Sometimes for the same thought
@TMFScottP Except there’s no govt going to take hit on the decision, the only way excises can change materially is with the complete fixing of our tax system to hide it
@carlton_hero@TMFScottP@AvidCommentator Consequences are elections, but particularly a year ago, there was no meaningful differentiation, and this is 3 decades of different govts, so blame is muddied anyway. Where we move forward is all that counts
@TMFScottP@carlton_hero@AvidCommentator In the end, how we got here doesn’t really matter, what we do from here and what we learn does. Frankly, blame is for idiots
@carlton_hero@AvidCommentator@TMFScottP Not arguing numbers, and perhaps 15-20million is the sustainable Australia. But, not having the home/infrastructure in line with household creation is what impacts that lifestyle. If those homes you talk about existed in line with people arriving, lifestyle is protected
@carlton_hero@AvidCommentator@TMFScottP Perhaps, it’s a broad discussion that we never had and that we never built the frame for the position taken. A few more homes and a few less people over the long term and the how we live is fundamentally unchanged.
@TMFScottP@AvidCommentator Agreed, the situation now says that it can’t be caught up, but 30 years of bipartisan head in the sand, would mean a slightly smaller average intake and slightly higher provision of homes is solved. But, that also doesn’t change the what do you do now
