@Provokatov Yesterday at the royal commission in to anti semitism, Palestinian lawyers were cross examining an Australian Jew David Ossip on the military actions of Israel as if somehow, we deserve what we get here in Australia for the actions of a foreign government. It’s ridic.
@mikjcal I would like to endorse and applaud Mick for his resilience and achievements. Recently I attended a Ted talk on negotiation and would be happy to collaborate on my learnings and consult after invoicing you for a modest fee.
@mikjcal People are led to believe that government services are free. They are not. They need to be paid for, via tax revenue. Every time you ask government to solve a problem, their only means is to tax everyone more. The solution is unpalatable. We need smaller government.
@charles_haig01 It also speaks to an electorate that think government can solve every problem when experience shows they are the least productive at solving them.
If the coalition can’t gain traction and hold Labor accountable for this miserable budget and terrible economic policy, the Liberal party deserves to die and make room for someone that can.
@charles_haig01 It’s depressingly sad that he can lie, cheat and tax the living shit out of all of us, yet people still vote for this lot. We are on the fast track to becoming the Venezuala/Argentina of Oceania.

All while a housing and rental crisis has been going on for years, and we wait for AI to take our jobs.
