That and holiday-like trips & great food. The realities of hospice care are probably going to kill a few early from shock.  Also this inter-generational stuff is going to die out to a point - everyone after the boomers are simply the hosed Generation.

Can't wait for the cyberpunk future in which there will be new laws saying if you want to go on Centerlink you have to donate a kidney and your blood once a fortnight to old rich dudes, since they contribute more.

buzzfeed news posted:Early on, Donaghue pointed out that even if the legal challenges win on the arguments around spending money, it may not stop the survey: “Nothing put on the financial side of the case deals with the question of whether the survey can proceed.” Lol a 122$ million plebiscite is like 1/4 of the ABS's annual budget.

Anyone just see the interview with Scott Morrison? Idk why ABC didn't get on the Resources Minister but it really does seem we're hosed in terms of energy sources. LNP will sell out to coal again because we have no alternative energy infrastructure - they're literally just planning to make these talks now. We'll be a laughing stock with our 8pm lights our curfew due to lack in energy resources should everything shut up shop tomorrow. Their sole argument is how it's Labor's fault for raising the white flag and the loss of jobs caused by downsizing mines. Can't wait to be apart of the dark ages.

Yeah ok but she and Sales also helped the libs win in 2013 by perpetuating their absolute lies about the performance of the 43rd parliament and the realities of the fiscal situation as well as the relevance of the boat born refugees as an issue. They can both loving burn for that tbh.

Like, being deliberately adversarial and cutting off your interviewee may seem cool and good when it's some ratfuck like Frydenberg or Cormann spinning the same tired lies, but when it's the PM and she's actually trying to explain the complexities of government in the face of wanker IDpol taking points, it's just garbage journalism.

Peter Costello's pointy ears made it easier for boomers to believe that they were being visited by the magic economy elf. Thus a Liberal Government is basically Santa Claus' workshop who builds economic policy for boys and girls all year long. (Everyone got coal)

there are no good journalists, very few competent journalists and all the rest are utter rubbish. a high school comprehension of writing mixed with a primary school appreciation of politics. their mere existence in our political system makes it worse.

Quick, lets get the head of the ABS to think the best way to run this survey is to duck down to the queens pub on a friday night, shout people a round of drinks and have a vote there. Everyone who wants a free drink is a vote for yes. Everyone who doesnt is a vote for no. Cheaper, quicker, just as accurate and binding.
