So far the only successful invasion of Australia happened with a global empire, with a developed supply chain, and a massive technological advantage. While I understand the raw nerve of fear of the boats, its so far from reality its beyond words.

On phone so can't find it, but their taxation section is good too. They want to eliminate all tax to be replaced with a 0.1% charge on every bank transaction. This is a progressive system because the more you spend or move, the more you pay, and totally won't impload if the economy slows.

A Tobin tax/currency transaction tax isn't a horrible idea really, it's just ridiculous to think it should be the only form of taxation.Ragingsheep posted:Why....? To stop profiteering apparently. They also want to nationalise all foreign holdings in the event of a war.

I haven't read any of it but they sound like those survivalist, 'prepare for the apocalypse' types. I think that's where they get their kicks. I appreciate their visionary, big-picture approach at least.

Realtalk it's probably easier to convince a coworker (boss???) that some of the so-called "left wing" ideas such as "not letting people rot in the street" and "maybe people are equal after all" and "using certain words can make you look like a dick" than it is to convince a boss to pay you the same as everybody else.

froglet posted:Hey guys I'm at my new job and the things I have heard help WA and Qld are so similar I swear, that's fairly normal gear for those States. I'm just surprised you haven't been surrounded by it already. Speaking of surround-sound idiocy and fact-resistance, I grabbed the print edition at my local fast-food joint today and discovered the silliest attempt to reframe the debate in the Herald Sun by cheery National Politics Editor Ellen Whinnett which takes the form of a classic feedback sandwich. I've bolded the fun bits. First the complements: quote:THE Abbott Government will be a year old in three weeks. One year since Tony Abbott and his team swept Kevin Rudd and the divided, dysfunctional Labor Party from office on September 7, 2013. More than a third of the way towards the next election. Ok, now she has to be critical, and starts off fairly tough but can't quite be that severe: quote:Which, since Treasurer Joe Hockey handed it down on May 13, has been virtually stalled. Tens of billions of dollars in revenue and savings measures have been blocked by the Senate. And a series of own goals by Hockey have made the sales job a disaster. On the Friday before the Budget, he was caught by TV cameras puffing on cigars outside the Treasury building with Finance Minister Mathias Cormann, looking like a pair of fat-cat bankers celebrating a profitable deal. You see, Hockey was right but it wasn't his fault and its the opposition and those welfare people "screaming" and he was sort of right with the statistics, it just seems like he's out of touch. But sensing that she may be basing things too heavily on Joe and to spread the love, Ellen turns to the wider picture, giving the Government a helping hand to finish with: quote:There are several reasons the Government’s Budget remains virtually deadlocked. Firstly, and most importantly, the Government failed to get a majority in the Senate. You might have noticed that Abbott has escaped most of the censure (as have many others. Scott Morrison gets a complete free pass). According to Ellen most of the bad stuff only happened in the last couple of months and they were mostly Other People's Fault because Dear Leader can't be expected to fix everyone's messes what with hanging out with more important people overseas. There is a reason for this remarkable attempt at gentle finger-wagging and it's in the other sections of the print edition, which is always on the side of The Battler. To one headline (on page 7) of Hey Joe, You're Roadkill there are snapshots and stories of Aussie Battlers Doing It Tough And Unimpressed With Joe, and in the opinion pages, an appropriately horrified editorial (Has Hockey got a tin ear?). But the letters page is reserved for the Battlers themselves and a remarkable majority give Joe the serve you'd expect; a typical response: Tania posted:What a horrid man. Even poor people deserve some quality of life and that may be as simple as driving to the beach for fish and chips with the family on a weekend. No matter how he phrased it, he is really out of touch. Ah, yes. Even the poor deserve to drive for recreational purposes, thanks ever so much Tania.
