That is why I added the “or more” as I thought there to be more but wasn’t motivated to look it up.
As for the contempt I as referring to Paul not yourself. I prefer less hierarchy not more so I agree with the concept of not having a senate but acknowledge it seems to be working mostly fine at the moment.
I watch that constitution professor from time to time because you posted her channel so time ago, thanks for that.
I hold a similiar position without the contempt. To many layers of government with things like States being a concept of a distance past. With modern communication, the need for geographic divisions is unnessary. I have 5 or more members who represent me geographically(council,state lower, state upper, federal lower, federal upper) that is too many.
Also I don’t have high opinion of Keating either, just another neo-liberal who made life harder for the generations after boomers.
Many years ago I rented another place that I lived in during the weekdays because of WORK, work that only paid close to minimum wage and couldn’t claim it as an expense. I was shocked but if I was a company I could have.
If you are not a company you are a second class citizen.
It is high profile enough, I think it is better just to leave the police handle it. Vigilantism doesn’t work, even through the Internet. People who look the same as those in the images can get unjust attention.
And so what are labor going to do about it? It will be likely close to a decade of labor being in power and at the half way mark they have done absolutely nothing in the backdrop of world wide discontent. I have no doubt Alabnese is going down in history as one of the most useless PM’s in history.
I don’t like to reduce explainations to -isms but I cannot think of a better reason. They just think brown people/Muslims are inferior and doesn’t upset them at the injustice of killing them compared to the deaths of white/Christian/Jew.
Can anyone explain to me why? Why Israel gets so much mainstream media attention? Israel is practically irrelevant to Australia’s future.
I think associating mass government firings to ideology is being too charitable. LNP are in government 2/3 of the time. They have created the small government they wanted. This latest idea is just to be cruel, nothing more. They are not good people.
The News Bargaining Incentive was a shake down itself. It should be scraped. Most Australian media companies are the same trash as social media and should shutdown if they cannot survive. At least tech provides useful services other than propaganda channels for connected politicians.
Labor had control of Federal, WA,QLD,NSW,VIC,ACT governments and achieved basically nothing from your list. They had the opportunity do it and those chose to do nothing. Yes they are better then LNP but if they where to form a coalition LLNP the population would notice the difference.
Labor supporters complain about the media for why the party cannot implement their vision but while in power instead of taking them on the media’s corporate propaganda broadcasted largely over public electromagnetic frequencies at heavily discounted rates; Labor decided to give it to Google instead.
That Albo can’t even convincingly beat Dutton in proof he is the worst Prime Minister in the past 25 years. The whole centrist approach just means Federal Labor stands for nothing, completely spineless so no surprise they are hemorrhaging support.
That’s the thing, people don’t want to. Critical thinking for one it takes more physical energy, which is a impediment. People want to belong as it can be very difficult to thrive being excluded, so there can be an advantage to just go along with the dominate narrative. Hence why we are getting a onslaught of propaganda like this twitter post.
Teaching critical thinking skills it not a solution. People are not getting fooled, they want to believe it, it fills an emotional need.
Neo-liberal solutions to societal issues focusing on individuals has been a complete disaster. It is basically victim blaming and doesn’t actually scale in many circumstances.
Eg. High house prices; Victims fault for not working harder and saving more. Neo-liberal solution: Work longer, spend way less. Outcome at scale: Economy crashes due to low spending.
I could only quickly find https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/24/plastic-packaging-increases-fresh-food-waste-study-finds for a reference to this wrap study. It mentions
Wrap studied the five items: apples, bananas, broccoli, cucumber and potatoes, stored in the original packaging and loose, and at different temperatures.
I don’t think this a good selection of items to demonstrate plastic doesn’t extend product shelf life. Personally I actually put a lot of veg in resealable bags to extend how long it lasts. Overall it definitely works for me.
You missed about how to make a living just writing bare facts. Journalists clearly are not upto the task so hopefully the tech sector can get some LLMs trained up so I get query it for information rather than the crap so called journalists currently broadcast.
Exposes people who I wouldn’t want to associate with. The people upset at Lidia would definitely be more likely to screw me over to gain favour with someone more influential. Those don’t align with my morals.
Instead of the word moderate use sane instead… what a coincidence you did use sane.
I hope the liberal party do it and destroy the party. Just not looking forward to the media both siding the “debate” again like in the 2000’s and bring back Malcolm Roberts into the spotlight. It really does feel humanity is cooked figuratively and literally.
