@SkullSpeedDeal Also if the government wants more renewable projects but doesn't want more non-renewable projects, it's obviously going to focus subsidies on those projects.
@SkullSpeedDeal Many people would argue that the uplift rates letting resource projects like large gas fields avoid PRRT for way past being profitable on paper is a huge subsidy specifically for those projects.
@Potstirrer111 Mind you this is all made 10 times worse because half the economy is built to extract as much wealth for Simon and Linda to give to P&O cruises and dump into their 7th investment property.
@Potstirrer111 The problem politically is that we've built systems (largely by accident) that only function off of migrant/worker exploitation. Voters don't see the workers being treated better, but they do see the price of their health cover, groceries, etc.
@C_Corday I keep getting ads from councillors saying "what would we cut? Sports field renovations? Free vaccinations?"
Yes! Why are you paying for that stuff if you can't afford to collect the bins? Who cares about nicer seating for the footy club if you can't get your rubbish collected?
@AshPolitik I think the controversy is a reach and the Japanese don't care so we should move on.
In saying that, Albo needs to stop going on these sorts of podcasts. It's a bit unbecoming honestly
@SkullSpeedDeal The progressive obsession with blocking data centre construction is just mind-numbingly dumb. "No we don't want the free money machine! Get rid of it!"
Whatโs everyoneโs thoughts on census being secretly being abused used by Labor for data matching with the ATO and targeted campaigning?
Like is the issue on census one of trust in current government?
@Potstirrer111 This is the same woman who said that she didn't expect the budget changes (which were leaked weeks in advance) would have any impact? Incredible
@ellensandell The Greens will look you dead in the eye and say they'll cut stamp duty, the one thing that gives FHBs an edge, and act like they're helping.
Incredible stuff as usual guys
@omgsidewalks Especially considering organisations can't easily give different arrangements to some employees without others crying discrimination. It leaves the only gate for who works well remotely in the hiring process, where you just don't have enough information to make that decision
@omgsidewalks I think some people excel in a remote setup and some people's productivity plumits. It's difficult for organisations to determine who is which, and so forcing everyone into the office results in higher productivity overall.
