I too agree that we should keep jihadis off the streets and stop hate preachers via better use of our armed forces by letting them shoot to kill *simultaneously fellates self and violently shits into own mouth* *is Tony Abbott*

I'm starting to think that this Tony Abbott bloke is a bit of a pest. He's distracting everyone from the Greens splits.

If you ever hear anyone argue that increasing supply is the solution to the housing affordability crisis then you can safely assume that they are an idiot.http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/census-2016-almost-one-in-five-homes-built-in-australia-are-unoccupied/ar-BBDjXWd?li=AAgfIYZ&ocid=iehp posted:If you're wondering why Australia's record-breaking residential construction boom has done little to ease housing affordability in Australia's largest cities, perhaps it's because many of the homes built are currently unoccupied.

The greens have always been bougie opportunists looking to sell enviro products and manipulate the market.

Either he deeply believes anyone would trust him as PM again, or he knows deep down it will never happen but has nothing else to strive for. Either way it's glorious to watch.

He's alongside Billy McMahon for worst PM in history and that's the entire shortlist. To know that every rival PM in his political career, no matter how much they are frauds, gently caress ups, or powerless will be remembered more fondly and better than him must be loving his ego. He's trying to save his wikipedia article section under "Legacy".

To be fair that probably isn't the worst idea. If we're going to get new submarines they might as well be able to go years without refueling

Malcolm Turnbull provided a character reference for an AFL player at a tribunal hearing for knocking out an opponent on field. The tribunal took less than 5 minutes to find the player guilty.

Lid posted:(We don't have crews for them) As a rule of thumb the size of the Submarine Arm is driven by the number of qualified crew at sea, for every person at sea the Arm should contain another 1.6 – 1.8 people. So the crew size of the chosen SSN is a key determinant. For a fleet of ten of the larger British or American SSNs, an Australian submarine arm of about 3,400 would be required. The smaller French SSN would require half this number. Australia currently has a submarine arm of about 600—there’s no credible way to grow the additional qualified manpower while overcoming the technical challenges of a transition to nuclear propulsion in time to replace the Collins class. The Collins class has a finite life and if we embark on an under-resourced transition we stand the risk of having no operational submarine capability in the 2030s and 2040s. The lower risk starting point is to build up to 9 conventional submarines, which would require about 1,500 in the submarine arm, bulked up with additional marine engineering officers and technicians to provide the manpower base to undertake the transition to SSN. Modern conventional submarines, with air independent propulsion, carrying similar combat system and weapons can prevail against an SSN—the key factor is training and crew preparation. The manpower lead-time of 15 years for nuclear propulsion would require us to start now on the process to train/recruit the nuclear expertise and plan for the transition to facilitate a final decision in 2030. At that point the lead-time injected by the technical and logistic issues would entail a further 15 years before commissioning Australia’s first SSN, about 2046, in lieu of our tenth new conventional.

Brown Paper Bag posted:Shorten announced the ALP will reverse the penalty rates cut if they win the next election. A no brainer policy for anyone who isn't a monster, also as it doesn't come out of the taxation coffers and would actually increase government revenue since people who get penalty rates also pay payroll tax. But somewhere a business owner will be crying that they can't afford a fourth yacht due to their lovely business management skills and having to pay their workers fair wages while they jerk off snorting cocaine every Sunday.

Tones genuinely believes he will be PM again one day. Had he not so blatantly and ceaselessly white anted, it might have happened. Problem is, he's been on such an obvious path of pure bloody vengeance and revenge, people who might have backed him otherwise will be too afraid to do so, just out of self-preservation and fear that he'll go after them next.

I could easily believe Abbot believes that. He's never worked a real job and probably believes it's his Manifest Destiny or some poo poo. Took the "born to rule" very much to heart I expect, like the rest of them do.

JBP posted:I think there was a degree of naivety when Keating introduced his changes (both under Hawke and as PM). Labor genuinely thought they were winning and would be in power for eternity. They thought class war was over because their base had built lives in which their children were attending universities, owned homes, whatever. Then the new set of policy levers got handed to the liberals and the levers were ones that they enjoyed pulling. A few pages back but historical politics and labour relations is something that is very interesting to me, who only got into politics ~2008. We voted yes on an enterprise agreement recently that was sheer dogshit, the employers refused to ever negotiate in good faith and just submitted the same terrible offer over and over again four times until employees just sort of gave in I guess. Doesn't help that union membership is probably <10% at my workplace. Always interested to hear about how things were in the 80's/90's because things seem so dire and people so uninterested in labour relations that I wonder how we ever got the conditions that are being stripped away today.

People don't seem to realise submarines are a very technical investment with a sizable qualified crew and that in truth a lot of people dont want to be on sub crews because its so claustrophobic.
