The way Muir got into parliament was ridiculous but he's done better than a shitload of people in there.

So the intergenerational report both skins over climate change AND includes statements that climate change may be good for the environment.quote:Labor leader Bill Shorten pointed to assertions in the report that some economic effects of climate change "may be beneficial - where regions become warmer or wetter this may allow for increased agricultural output". Not worth the paper its printed on.

quote:Queensland's new government will sell some public assets but denies this conflicts with its dogged opposition to these type of transactions under the former LNP government. I guess QLD Labor are... selling assets anyway?!

There doesn't seem to be a transcript of Muir's speech so we'll have to wait for Hansard, but the quotes in this article make it sound like the whole thing should be worth a readquote:Ricky Muir has used his inaugural speech to mount a passionate defence of penalty rates, describing what it's like to lose sleep when the cost of living rises by $20 a week.

Muir's maiden speech to parliament was even better than Julia Gillard's maiden speech, from what I've read. Really hope he can live up to the big talk in the same way Gillard did.

quote:The Intergenerational Report grants 11 mentions to climate change, arguing "governments must continue to plan for the economic and environmental effects of climate change". While it says there may be economic benefits to climate change, it says there may also be falling crop yields and increasing damage to infrastructure from extreme weather. How is this real. How can this actually be released in a 'serious' report by an actual national government.

I don't consciously think when clicking on an article about indigenous Australian children being stolen, "Man, there's no way anyone can somehow make this about Israel!", but it's always there at the back of my mind; so I live my life in a state of constant surprise.

You Am I posted:Muir got hosed over by that, don't even try to compare him to a Labor Senator who would rubber stamp stuff like that. Yeah absolutely and that's a tremendous glowing recommendation for him as a parliamentarian. He's completely incompetent and totally unreliable but boy does he spin a great yarn about his dad who did it real hard back when we lived in shoeboxes in the middle of the street.

He's lived the working class life and seems genuinely committed to actually representing their interests, which puts him leagues ahead of the Senators from the majors. Also he did this bit talking about the challenges of youth unemployment which is pretty honest as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaDztSM_89A

Join ALP YL, lose a vote, say 'gently caress it' and join the Greens. Join the Greens, realise that the average age is 60 and it's full of baby boomers interested in niche issues. Realise they don't actually do much of use. Quit them and start a blog and a parody twitter account. EvilElmo fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Mar 5, 2015 |

There not selling goverment assets, as you know they promised not to, so instead they're just selling goverment assets. Any confusion on the difference is your fault. Labor is blameless.

What they said is that there's certain things they can't legally back out of and they're open to selling buildings and land that is sitting idle. Calm down.
