So it would cost like, 1/5th of an AUKUS? Anything that costs money in the billions should use AUKUS units from now on.

If only journalists had actually been treating republicans like this the last 10 years (I.e. doing their jobs) we might not be in some of this mess.

Wants foreign investment yet refuses to undo Brexit because the racists might not like it…

It’s amazing that so many people don’t realise that, even if you are privileged because of your race and don’t care about the suffering of others, racism is still bad for you economically. For further information see the UK post Brexit.

Prohibit the use of pine gap altogether until the US military behaves. The fact that they want bases on our land means we have leverage, Albo needs to use it.

Are feed crops good for the environment at all? No. But are they good for anything. Also no. If you can grow crops, grow things then people can eat, don’t waste 90% of it on the extra step of feeding it to a polluting animal that you then slaughter.

God that’s disappointing. In most cases the ‘free market’ is the absolute worst way to provide essential services, so it’s a real kick in the teeth to see that when it comes to oil the market is doing the right thing by getting out but governments keep propping it up.

Weird how a political movement so against government involvement in people’s lives is happy to spend so many resources to punish people based on what paperwork they have or haven’t filled out. It’s almost like that’s not really the issue and it’s just racism. Almost like that…

Also, don’t these people think that everyone needs guns so that they can fight the government? Feels like that would have to be pretty violent…

The levy is called Brexit (and other travel restrictions), making everything more expensive and fiddly for tourists. Though instead of making Britain money, Brits also pay for it! Great deal.

Could? I assume you mean “will”. Nothing gets in between a LibLab politician and a coal mine.

Check out what’s going on in Tas. Labor letting the libs govern rather than risk upsetting the forestry industry by accepting support from the Greens. Lib and Lab should govern together and let Greens be the real opposition.

They should just form a minority government with the libs and stop pretending.
comment in response to
post
So they move a motion to bring down the liberal government, but then will refuse to form government themselves because they don’t want to look like they might care about the environment? Labor are such a cool party.

Don’t worry, Labor are doing their best to make sure we never get temperatures like this again.

Love that this is a feed. I wonder if they ever worked out proper rules - they all seemed very vague when I played, but maybe that was just me being 12.

But let’s please get 15 more ‘exclusive’ ’breaking’ stories about how Biden might not have been functioning as well as he was when he was 21.

But hey, we just approved access to a whole lot of ‘transition’ fuel, so we can spend the next 45 years ‘transitioning’…

Well, we also had 6 billion tons of CO2 emissions approved as the first act of the government that was elected, so it was already pretty clear that we weren’t getting anything progressive from this.

And while Albanese has been acting tough against the dropper of one lot of those bombs, he’s been very supportive of the nation dropping the other lot (if you’re wondering which is which, just look at which one is bombing a nation that isn’t mostly white people and you might be able to guess).

Yet this was him 4 days ago when addressing communities hit by their second lot of “1 in 100 year” floods in 5 years. What a disgusting terrible person he is.

Just three days after he cried crocodile tears with folk who’d lost everything and told them he was serious about climate change.

Then there’s the ones that just start dark and stay that way. “Now it’s over I’m dead and I haven’t done anything that I want, or I’m still alive and there’s nothing I want to do” has haunted me for 30 years and probably totally changed my life’s direction.

There seems to be no amount of money America won’t spend, no amount of depravation it will endure, to ensure it is racially “pure”. Making sure the only people you see in your neighbourhood are white seems to be worth any price. UK too (see Brexit).

Mobility for all, not just youth. We shouldn’t be suffering for a stunt to boost Boris Johnson’s career.

Wow, the possibility of winning with 12% of the primary votes is crazy.

Yep, the big winners out of this are the fossil fuel donors because now Labor have two right wing blocks they can negotiate piss weak policies on the environment and workers’ rights with before they have to deal with the Greens.
comment in response to
post
I assume it’s meant to be that Bradfield, held by former leader Brendan Nelson, may remain in Liberal hands.
comment in response to

Sadly I fear this’ll just give them two right wing blocks to negotiate massive watering down of their on-paper progressive policies with.

Even if it would be a show process to officially rejoin, we could much more quickly gain most of the benefits (like free movement and free trade) though a Switzerland/Norway style deal. You know, the countries that the Bexiteers told us we could be like…
comment in response to
post
We haven’t moved on though, we want our freedoms back. Bexiteers promised a utopia that never eventuated and never will and the rest of us are suffering for it. We won’t move on living worse lives when it’s so obvious what we could do to improve them.

Trump owes his entire political career to that idiot and still treats him this way. Just goes to show that you shouldn’t try to be friends with him.

But the mining companies did just win a thumping victory - they paid enough in bribes (euphemistically called ‘donations’) to ensure that whoever won would be totally compliant. They knew they’d win a as thumping victory before the polls ever opened.

Then give all of us back the freedom that the tories took away and that your labour colleagues currently refuse to give back.

Remember, this government is happy to leave brits with the miserably reduced rights the citizenship that Brexit gave us, it’s no surprise that they want to take that from other people too.

I imagined things in the world (like the moon) were formally named that way, and imagined someone standing on a stage pointing upward declaring to a crowd “this is the moon!”.

What does this even mean? Why do the libs and nats even pretend they’re different parties, what does that pantomime achieve?

That keeps the fossil fuel donors happy while he pretends that he’d be doing amazing progressive things if not for those blasted Greens.
comment in response to

All Albo ever wants to do in politics is do nothing and blame the Greens for it. He got his big win by doing that but bore the stars have aligned to give him a senate that means he can do that for his second term too. He must be so happy - he’s winning his little game!

Yeah, the email said that but when I clicked accept, the only option was a calendar within the acceptance portal that gave a latest date 10 days after that day. I find that an incredibly disrespectful ask.
