No student in Year 11 or 12 today, regardless of how brilliant, will ever work as a surgeon.

To be clear, a student in Year 12 today:

1. Would study their medical degree from 2027 – 2032

2. Perform internship in 2033

3. Work as an RMO 2034 – 2036

4. Undertake the RACS training program 2037 – 2042

Sorry, let me correct my earlier miscalculation.

No student who is yet to complete their medical degree will ever work as a surgeon.

Why is this?

Because robots already perform various types of surgery with greater precision than a human.

But this is less than 2% of surgery.

Within 5 years, this will be 50% of surgery.

Within a decade, this will be all surgery.

Performed on demand, with a precision and expertise than no human could ever match.

No patient requiring surgery will ever want a human surgeon after the late 2030’s.

If you are a parent of such a student, prepare to move your family to Ghana. They may be slower to implement.

We just have to accept that ‘not costed’ will be a tactic deployed by the ALP.

It will become part of the Uniparty lexicon for the next 2 years.

It’s up to One Nation to build a counter to this. Which is threefold:

1. Sullying the reputation of the PBO (Parliamentary Budget Office).

Remind most people that this is a bunch of public service ret*rds, who’ve been spectacularly unsuccessful in modelling NDIS costing, NBN costing, and everything in between.

Their estimates are as meaningful as a Kamala Harris campaign speech

2. Empowering Aussies to think through the conundrum.

If you were planning to sack a large bunch of dysfunctional public servants – do you really think they’ll give you an honest appraisal of your policies?

Or might they instead just add to the gaslighting?

3. Move your policy framework to the new world – that of transparent, socialised information on the internet.

Invite open commentary in the public domain. Be bold.

Invite experts like @Adam_Creighton and @DrCameronMurray to critique

[Francynancy @FranMooMoo]

Only an idiot would give your potential policies over to the corrupt Canberra finance bureacrats to cost so they can be leaked to Labor to steal or run a campaign to discredit. One Nation is right to be wary ✅️

Migration is *the* productivity killer.

Almost a 1:1 negative correlation between the two.

If Australia wants to be wealthier, we must:

1. Shed ourselves of excess migrant numbers

2. Aggressively embrace automation

Why must we tolerate such emotive bullsh*t from lying politicians?

Here's a fact....if australia cut migration to near zero, and realised it had gone too hard too fast, we could rectify this. **within weeks**

Migration is not an annual budget process. Its a tap which can be turned on and off instantaneously

Hey you lot,

TLDR – we should allow Ozempic in jails, but we should also:

* reduce meals to 2 a day (for all)
* permit water only (for all)
* remove all gym equipment (at all facilities)

I think we should reflect on if we need to object to every policy which Uniparty introduces – for this runs the risk of boxing oneself into a corner.

Re the “Ozempic in jail” issue, there is perhaps a bit more to it than meets the eye.

Please note I have documented reasonably detailed policy initiatives with respect to:

1. The future state of prison management (this is more facility level)

2. Issues and solutions for contemporary prison management (more at a service level)

3. GLP-1 (Ozempic et al) subsidies for Australians

You can find them all under my profile > articles.

I like to think I have at least some idea what I am talking about.

With respect to prisons, I’ve got an elder brother who is a lead detective, and family and friends have spent time inside, including for the big one. I’ve done my fair share of visitation and gleaned what I can about prison environments. My old neighbour was a Program Manager for Justice Victoria and lead rehabilitation programs, and I spent much time listening to her observations too.

With respect to Ozempic (just a brand of GLP-1), it’s really just a drug (peptide in this case). I’ve spent the last 20 years in and around these products and have been featured by MSM for ‘drugs in sport’. I started taking a GLP-1 several weeks ago and am closely monitoring (bloodwork and other panels).

So let’s quickly talk about giving prisoners GLP-1.

On one hand I completely understand the philosophical objection. Why should crims get free sh*t, when society must pay? This is a valid question, and a good reason to object. But free drugs aren’t unprecedented – this lot also get free housing, free utilities, 3 meals, and better medical care than many ‘free persons’ / non-criminals. TV’s, therapy sessions, gym gear, etc.

It’s not like this is the first time we’ve handed them something for free which others do not have access to.

So why might we want to give them free GLP-1?

Well, put simply, because it may save us money in the long run. The cost of managing their health issues later in life might be offset by having smaller people with fewer heart attacks, kidney issues, strokes, knee surgery, etc etc.

Ok, about this time someone will come in with the churlish ‘why not just let ‘em die quickly inside?’. I will move past this. If we want to kill inmates fast – can we just legislate that and be done with it? Otherwise….let’s be serious.

But there is a bit more to it than this. And here is how a responsible prison service can and should administer free GLP-1.

It should be the cheapest GLP-1 variant which government can procure. Which likely means Ozempic and not Mounjaro.
We should actually do this as a study, because I believe Australia should look to subsidise Mounjaro for the broader population

I WANT ALL GYM GEAR OUT OF ALL PRISONS.

For those of you who don’t comprehend this because you have little context – prisons are rife with drugs. Including steroids.

There are some absolute monster size individuals inside, who will spend as much time as they can doing weights and whatever boxing or grappling training they are permitted to indulge in.

These do not make for friendly people upon release.

Who’s bringing the drugs in? Both guards and visitors – where there’s a will, there’s a way.

So, no more boxing equipment, weights, or anything of the sort.

They can learn Pilates and tai chi – that’s as good as it should get.

Whomever was the dickhead who first thought it a good idea to allow this stuff inside was not too bright.

EBy getting rid of the gym gear, you also reduce the demand for gear (steroids). The place becomes a little less criminal and a little less violent.

I WANT LESS MEALS SERVED IN PRISONS.

No, and I’m not kidding. Anyone who thinks that giving this lot 2 meals a day maximum is somehow in contravention of United Nations protocols is kidding themselves.

Many biohackers, myself included, sustain on one meal a day.

Many pensioners can’t afford much else.

Less meals also means less expense, less cooking wages, etc etc. They can be fed at 9 and then again at 5.

Less meals means we can afford better nutrition, and less sh*t.

Maybe they can learn decent habits for when they get out. Which means they can drink water and that’s all. No cordial, no powdered drinks, no fruit juice, no soft drinks.

I believe australia has a strong case for subsidising GLP-1 on a mass scale.

@AlboMP @chrisluxonmp Well, it's game over Australia.

Your Federal ALP Minister @ALeighMP for productivity has just appeared on TV, saying he'd like to see more private investment in AI, so that local companies can "build websites"

For fu**'s sake, these clowns have absolutely no idea.

[The Policy Guy @negativevortex_]

Interesting....

Can you substantiate these numbers?

For instance, on the employment front, australian universities in total employ just under 140k people.

Of that some 5000 pertain to foreign institutions (in the same way many Aus unis have overseas campuses)

More remarkably, of these staff, some 30 to 40,000 are actually temp and permanent residents themselves.

You might want to read that again.

We're importing foreigners, to educate foreigners.

That's often called 'a false economy'

Now if all of our foreign students disappeared (and that ain't happening), would our unis shut their doors?

Of course not.

They'd need to shrink certainly, but not in a 1:1 correlation, as admin staff would be retained

So if we lost 40k of our 50k foreign students, and uni enrolment dropped by 25%, and staffing by 20%....

We'd lose 28k jobs.

But as above, we have close to 40k perm and temp residents working in the sector.

Many of whom we know remit a large amount of income overseas.

And these people will remit higher amounts, as they're paid higher salaries.

Next...to your revenues.

Have anything to substantiate this in more detail? Who is spending what, and where?

Like i said, 500k foreign students in Aus unis, and about 180k per annum. Each student would need to pay close to $100k every year. Every year. Not close.

But here's the next question.....who receives that money?

Perhaps you ought to add more detail

There's no way foreign students

[The Policy Guy @negativevortex_]

To extend upon this, Australia would seek to deport based on Actua Reus itself, not on skin color, nationality, etc.

Which means an equal application of the rule.

When we look at Oz prison pop numbers, we can estimate approximately 400 to 800 are foreigners.

But most come from:

1. New zealand - and we already saw how the last deport program fared!!

2. UK

3. Vietnam

4. China

5. India

So we would be mainly putting people on planes back to New Zealand.

We'd then need to introduce a policy of no visitation ever from Kiwis with defined criminal records

Same for UK, etc

[The Policy Guy @negativevortex_]

I really don't think a single person who's howling 'deport, deport' has thought through some of the ramifications.

You cannot expect to send a criminal off to another country, without that country (or any other, incidentally) reserving the right to ship one (or more) back here.

Moreover, we'd be obligated to honour whatever sentence the originating country had delivered, potentially throwing some expense back into our prison management system.

It's unlikely we'd be swamped. It would certainly be less than we send.

But anyone who's thinking this is not multilateral, or had simply not contemplated this, is a bit foolish

[The Policy Guy @negativevortex_]

Morning MB.

Let me run a scenario past you (one that has to have an appreciable probability, else I'm indulging in the absurd)

1. One Nation and minor right parties campaign heavily on a platform of 'deport migrant criminals' from Australia

2. In 2028, ON fails to secure control or BoP of both houses, and is subsequently unable to implement its stated policy objectives

3. In 2029 either Reform or Restore UK win control of government

4. The new UK government implements it's own policy of 'deport, deport'

.....

Suddenly, Australia *may* find itself on the receiving end of deportations.

Not what it had anticipated. Many had hoped for the reverse.

.......

Let's assume PM Albozo and FM Puny Wang reject this request for deportation.

Then UK abetted by US starts talking trade sanctions on Australia.

Australia relents....

.......

Australia would now be faced with an increase in prison population, not a decrease

.......

Australia could then consider negotiating its own bilateral exchange with the UK. "We'll take ours, if you take yours"

Then the UK would face the same quandary. You're emptying your jails of filth...but then restocking

........

It's estimated Australia has 1500-2000 citizens imprisoned in other countries.

It's estimated that the murder, manslaughter and rape number around 300-400

These are littered across the world. No risk of sudden influx.

But my point is simply this:

1. There is an appreciably high risk that the offender's country of origin would refuse to receive them

And

2. There's also a risk that many would demand bilateral exchange

Which waters down the (likely ill thought through) impacts (benefits?) of a deportation program

[The Policy Guy @negativevortex_]

Pray tell Albanese, do you mourn the violent rape of this young Australian child, at the hands of a newly immigrated 50 year old Mongol?

The poor girl merely hailed a Didi to get home.

Perhaps you could elucidate for us all.... exactly what the fuck is a 50 year old Mongol doing on our shores?

Was he on a skills visa as an engineer?

Was he on a working holiday?

For fucks sake Albanese, terms like 'treason' and 'traitor' are now simply too magnanimous for you

'Filth' and 'scum' are more apt.

No Australians actually enjoy describing their own Prime Minister this way.

But no PM in this nation's history has so willingly made young girls the target of violent rapists.

At a minimum, you should visit this poor girl and her family to apologise in person.

Then you can account to your citizens the tab, for the poor girl's lifelong medical and psychological care, for the cost of prosecution and the cost of imprisonment.

[Jesse Ridgway @McJuggerNuggets]

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.

The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.

I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.

She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.

When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.

Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.

I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.

We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.

This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.

You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.

As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.

It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.

Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

[The Policy Guy @negativevortex_]

Interesting

@grok i asked you the same question but got a diametrically opposed answer. Perhaps I was 'leading the witness'

But to my mind eugenics is a state-sanctioned program (or orchestrated collectively and thereby a de facto state)?

An individual making the choice, when they are not forced either way, would not seem worthy of labelling as 'eugenics'?

Your thoughts? Be as detailed as necessary for such a complex issue...

[The Policy Guy @negativevortex_]

@_carmen_dioxide It's actually great that such discourse is arising. It's pretty lo-fi. But at least americans are debating it in the court of public opinion.

Most of the commentary is quite inane, but the debate itself, can only be a good thing.

Well done you nutty yanks..
