Sports mad, left of centre, bit sweary

@noplaceforsheep If “personal responsibility” were enough of a construct for people to live safely in society, then there’d be no need for laws at all.

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@7AFL Looked pretty bloody straight. Umpire needs a please explain.

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@CLEsportsTalk Also why does EVERY Cavs coach have such poor rotations?? If they’re not performing bench them and put someone fresh in! That 4th qtr was so stagnant it’s like CLE put the cue in he rack and went home!

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@CLEsportsTalk Atkinson not calling a timeout to halt the 18-1 run would have to be the biggest fucking sign of bad fucking coaching! He had 4 available to use!

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@CavsNationCP The problem is they’re here ALL THE TIME! It would be awesome if this team could find some consistency instead of yo-yoing up and down each bloody game!

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@espn That was not bad luck Kenny, that was bad skill execution and bad coaching.
Should have called a timeout long before they got on the 18-1 run. You had like 4 of them available to use! What were you thinking?

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

Bye bye Game 1. Cavs chucked away a 20 point lead through lacklustre effort and bad coaching.

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@BleacherReport Why did Atkinson let the Knicks have that massive run before calling a timeout?? Should not have gotten to 18-1!

What was that Mitchell??

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

22-4 Cavs deserve to lose this

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

Should have challenged that!

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@DevaronPerry Exactly! All those empty possessions, they go 18-1 and no timeout. Bad coaching!

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

Commentators: Cavs might want a timeout if he scores this

Me: should have called one 2 possessions ago instead of watching the Knicks eat that lead!!

[Ezzarelli @ezzarelli]

@MoreForYou_CLE Nope. None. Bupkis, zip, zilch, nada, nothing.

So let’s get this straight.

Australian citizens are apparently the only people who deserve support. Everyone else? According to Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson, they’re just a burden.

But here’s the reality.

To become an Australian citizen, you must first be a permanent resident for years. For many migrants, becoming Australian also means giving up the citizenship of the country they were born in. Plenty choose not to do that because they want to keep their heritage and family ties. That is their right.

Then you have people on skilled working visas and permanent residents raising families here. Their kids go to school with Australian kids. They work here. They pay taxes here. They contribute to the community every single day.

Yet apparently Taylor thinks they should receive no assistance at all.

Now let’s look at the numbers.

Taylor claims non-citizens cost Australia $15 billion a year.

What he doesn’t tell you is they contribute around $40 billion a year in taxes alone.

That’s a net contribution of roughly $25 billion annually before you even count the businesses they build, the jobs they fill, the skills shortages they solve, and the communities they help support.

So what exactly is the logic here?

Punish one of the most economically valuable groups in the country to distract from decades of policy failures on housing, wages and infrastructure?

This is what scapegoating looks like.

Blame migrants. Blame permanent residents. Blame foreigners. Anything except the governments and policies that actually created the problems.

And once again, they stand in front of Australians assuming nobody will check the facts.

@bradpsychology Well…not until the next Ashes series anyway

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we rarely question why some wealthy people are never satisfied with what they already have.
