Yeah, my phrasing was a bit off. I meant comparing/contrasting US/Aus racism. I'm not trying to minimize how garbage the US is about immigrants/race in general.

Trump won't spend money on advertising, he'll just keep saying crazy poo poo and get it for free. It depends on what polls you look at too, DMR who seem to be a bit more responsible / reliable in how they poll has Cruz way ahead of Trump.

The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll, out late on Saturday, shows the conservative Cruz with 31 per cent support, 10 points ahead of bombastic billionaire Donald Trump, who has 21 per cent.

Treasurer Scott Morrison expected to 'take out the trash' in MYEFO budget update

Tomorrow's mid-year fiscal update will be the new Treasurer's chance to "take out the trash" of his predecessor, a leading budget watcher has said.

The Federal Government's Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) is shaping up as an opportunity for Scott Morrison to dump some of his predecessor Joe Hockey's failed savings measures.

"What I expect the Treasurer to do in MYEFO is essentially to take out the trash," predicted Stephen Anthony, chief economist at Industry Super Australia and a former Treasury official.

"To discard some of the controversial saving options that have been blocked in the Senate to do with higher education and family and other budget savings, and to look to reboot the savings process around areas that are more measured, more balanced and sharing the load of adjustments across the community."

Mr Anthony said this MYEFO was likely to be as much a political document as a financial one.

"The whole idea is to do this now to essentially set the reset button to help rebuild political capital, particularly with the cross benchers, and to establish a sort of a reasonable framework around which significant tax reform can be part," he said.

It actually gives me a lot of hope, seeing this assholes whining about how oppressed they are. The racism may be getting stronger in small parts, but the antiracist community in Australia is growing fast and every time we outprotest these idiots we make a statement that they're shithouse views aren't acceptable here and we won't take their poo poo.

Others saw it differently. "What we are here for is to commemorate those riots which came out of Islamic thuggery," said a 17-year-old Toby, who had travelled from West Ryde. "If today does end like that though, they're going to need bullets to stop us."

Fingers crossed young Toby...

Also Toby was 7 and was well informed about the thuggery in Cronulla.

I think the bus I took home from uni was themed all-year-round after privatisation.

It was never on time, always overcrowded, the seats were terrible and the ticket prices were always pointlessly expensive.
