Yeah this is another thing. When you take out insurance on your house you should be insured against everything. None of this 'well you weren't insured against meteor strike so too bad'.

congratulations, you just made insurance unaffordable.

It shouldn't really be legal to buy and sell property, or at least residential property, that can't be insured. Either the government should become an insurer of last resort, or they should be zoned so people can't live there. It's in no one's interest to have people losing their houses.

This would be a whole lot easier if councils and state governments were empowered to not cave in to the whims of property developers.

There was a similar case out of Melbourne where a bunch of houses were built in unsuitable areas on reactive clay and all the houses started crack. You can discuss insurance until the cows come home but ultimately there are experts and scientists who know about the risks associated with building in certain areas, the system just doesn't allow them to make the final decision.

As hilarious as it is to see global warming denying rich asshats get their comeuppance, this thread is being a bit ridiculous with all the "OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD HAPPEN! WHY DID THEY CHOOSE TO LIVE THERE? DIDN'T THEY READ THEIR HOUSING DOCUMENTS???" as if every (or even a moderate sized minority of) beachfront property ends up getting destroyed by erosion (hint: doesn't happen).

You can be a poo poo person but still be correct that you weren't properly made aware of the risks, and the real problem is the insurance agents who'll insure for certain types of damages but not other? Cause really "oh we only pay out for water damage from the sky, not water damage from the ground" is some serious bullshit.

Muslim isn't a race, and I'd happily stop them coming into the country - at least from parts of the world where "beheading those who insult the Prophet" etc is a common belief.

He's going to lose because the average Australian grew up in a nanny state & hates personal responsibility, loves banning things, and your poo poo party was complicit in killing democracy with the senate changes.

e: You've also stopped good people like Ricky ever being elected ever again so congratulations there.

I don't quite understand this logic. How has it "killed democracy"? If people are numbering boxes for the people they want to elect it is way more democratic than the obscure GVTs it has eliminated.
If you are going to say it's the optional thing then what is your opinion of the USA? They don't even have preferences, is it a democracy?

Someone having brown skin doesn't scare me. Someone who genuinely believes that unbelievers deserve to die (or at least won't fight to stop such deaths) does. We can respect the rights of Australians without bringing more people into the country who will help change our core beliefs for the worse.

I bet most of your "racists" would be ok with <insert ethnic group> Christian Refugees. Is it really that difficult to believe it's possible to not like a group for their beliefs, instead of their DNA?

The Average Australian is like a bird that was raised in a cage, and when you open the door it doesn't know what to do so stays put.

How any Australian could go overseas and not be shocked at the casual civic freedoms other countries enjoy without major problem, that we don't get, is beyond me.
