A 16yo can't know what is best for the country as they don't understand complex political narrative like "stop the boats", "carbon tax" and "labor waste".

Turns out getting home from being given an Australian of the Year award isn't that easy if you're Koori. I'm pretty anti Uber (and taxi for that matter but my theory is most people should be able to walk the ride they're taking a taxi for. Going to be a 6 hour walk, plan your poo poo better) but if it is a way to stop this poo poo from happening then I'm down with it.Those racists at the aboriginal black channel posted:Indigenous elder Jack Charles rejected by taxi at Melbourne Airport; second in one week

Too easily influenced (by their husbands), not enough information or experience, not responsible enough, not even interested in voting.

It's utterly unfair that people should be allowed to vote at 16. I had to wait till I was 18 so they must also. That's only fair. Kids these days only see things from their perspective. Also good luck using this issue to save your miserable corrupt hide Sharten. Resign and ask for a cushy job.

They happen if you're in the city at a gig or a party or a movie that runs late and you just miss the last train Or if your car's being serviced and you need to get somewhere that's nigh on impossible with public transport Or if you're too old/sick to drive or catch public transport and don't have your poo poo together to have someone handy that can give you a lift

MaliciousOnion posted:Why is Indonesia on that list? Why isn't Japan? Japan is one of our biggest import/export partners. https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2013/june/1370181600/hugh-white/what-indonesia-s-rise-means-australia Indonesia's economy is growing quite fast. not China fast but still solid. it has a population of almost 250 million, 4th largest in the world. as it modernises its economy will pick up and far surpass ours. Australian governments except Keating's have tended to think they can ignore Indonesia, or simply make demands in return for aid because we are rich and they are a poor country. in the medium long term, this situation will not continue. as Indonesia grows, its naval defence capabilities increase, making it an obvious choice for an ally. Japan is currently an important trading partner but it is not the most important strategic relationship for Australia. It is a relationship that requires balance due to the antipathy between Japan and China, but it is not Japan that is going emerge as the predominant power in Asia.

Frogmanv2 posted:How do you know this? Turnbull has set out his ideas in a series of carefully argued speeches over the past few years. Four major themes emerge from these speeches. First, he places great emphasis on the political and strategic significance of the economic rise of Asia, and especially of China. He has called it "the great geopolitical transformation of our time". Other Australian leaders do not see this. Abbott, for example, wrote a few years ago that China's economic growth would have no effect on Australia's foreign policy at all. He still thinks the Anglosphere rules the world, and there is no clear evidence that Labor disagrees with him. Second, Turnbull recognises that the shifting balance of geopolitical power poses immense challenges to the established, Western-led global order that has suited Australia so well. Just last month, he asked: "How ready are Western nations and Western-dominated multilateral institutions to adapt to a very different distribution of global power than that which they've been used to?" Third, whereas most Australian leaders are happy to rely on Washington to work out how best to respond to China's rise, Turnbull is not so sure. Although he has described US President Barack Obama's pivot to Asia as "a vitally important stabilising reassuring factor" in the region, he is far from sure it provides the whole answer, or that the US knows what else to do. Indeed, back in 2011, he said Washington seemed "utterly flummoxed" by China's rise. As a result, Turnbull has argued Australia needs a much more sophisticated and nuanced diplomatic approach of its own to the geopolitical challenges of the Asian century. He has cautioned against "extravagant professions of loyalty and devotion to the United States" and also against "equally extravagant compliments paid to Beijing". He has, himself, been quite starkly critical of China at times, saying "China needs to be more transparent about its goals in the region", and that "there seems little doubt that the tough line taken [by China] on the disputed islands and reefs has been quite counter-productive". But what really separates him from the mainstream of Australian politics are his sober reflections on the way we manage our relations with the US. Just a few days after Obama's 2011 pivot speech to our Parliament received a gushing response from Gillard, Turnbull issued this stark warning: "An Australian government needs to be careful not to allow a doe-eyed fascination with the leader of the free world to distract from the reality that our national interest requires us to truly (and not just rhetorically) maintain both an ally in Washington and a good friend in Beijing." And finally, Turnbull recognises that all this means Australia has to rethink its place in Asia from the ground up. We cannot assume, he has said, that "the strategic and diplomatic posture that served us in the past can and will serve us unchanged in the future; or that it doesn't matter if our strategic and economic messages to our region are somewhat contradictory". http://www.theage.com.au/comment/malcolm-turnbull-the-man-to-put-australia-on-the-map-20150301-13s8xp#ixzz3q7rBNybi

What Turnbull does is the important thing and he really is sticking with a huge amount of what NTATA was doing, he's just doing it with a silver tongue. Hope that helps.
