Birdstrike posted:Counterpoint: councils routinely fail to extract a proper return for the community (in the form of infrastructure or otherwise) from developers because they don't have the scale/resources to negotiate commercial terms. Somewhat, but it can also mean that larger councils get the 'I can do whatever the gently caress I want' attitude like BCC did, and run roughshod over smaller businesses. Not to mention that, for example, BCC seems rife with opportunistic corruption, so they don't tend to stand up to big developers as much as you might expect.

As much as I enjoy the idiocy of the Hun's Stop The Duncans campaign (immigration control for the poor), I must remember they're running interference for the government who doesn't want to be asked any difficult questions over the election they wanted to have. The Kouk details the problem: quote:Abbott claim No 1

From the Terrorgraph today: Opposition plan on negative gearing to be: Bad for Sellers Bad for Buyers AND Bad for Renters. That's an amazingly powerful piece of mojo for a level one magician Mr Sharten! And in the in depth analysis the reasons are: This is what our mates told us to say Na na na na nah You see viewed through the micromacroeciosoicopathic paradigm of Jobs and Growth, therefore reasons. Council amalgamations - a slight defence of my stance on them being a loving terrible idea. If there are problems with small representative units they should be abolished therefore, if there are problems with government of any kind it should be abolished. If that's your argument I wholeheartedly concur and look forward to the dismantling of civil society.

The councils in my area are notorious for being corrupt. Amalgamating them would turn them into a large, corrupt council. Size has nothing to do with it. Maybe the councillors will tear each other apart trying to retain their influence in the new council, so perhaps it would be a good thing.

boom boom boom posted:I just learned from the Naur thread that you guys are apparently running a literal concentration camp? Like right now, Australia is shipping people off to a hell island prison to die? They're not shipped there to die. We ship them there so they'll be out of sight and/or be traumatized enough to want to be sent back to where they came from. When people die it's just a nice little bonus of not having to pay for their ticket back home. Also it's not on our soil so technically we don't do anything to them. I mean we set everything up and control the funding so we could enforce humane standards. But we don't have to enforce humane standards and that's what's important. EDIT: I mean if you think about it it's all the lefties fault for protesting our old detention centres anyway. If they just left well enough alone we wouldn't have had to move people to torture islands.
