Turnbull was way into that before he decided he'd rather be a puppet. It appeals to conservatives because they interpret 'nudging' to mean things like putting people on income management.

You can pm me if you want but I'm pretty sure this violates ethics. You can ask for who gave them ethical clearance or what institution they are affiliated with. You should contact your university aswell

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2017/oct/11/mps-dual-citizenship-case-high-court-sits-for-second-day-livequote:If Barnaby Joyce is found to have been ineligibly elected, as a lower house MP, the court would most likely set aside the election result – which means a byelection. Given its one seat majority in the house, you would imagine the government would set the date for that as soon as possible – which would be 33 days from when it issued the writs.

Halo14 posted:https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2017/oct/11/mps-dual-citizenship-case-high-court-sits-for-second-day-live Pretty sure Joyce's seat is pretty firmly in Coalition hands. Although, next in line from the previous result is an independent.

Conservatives: "No you can't charge super-profitable mining companies a reasonable rate of tax because they are petulant shitheads and might take it out on their workforce, mostly because we've spent 20+ years eroding their industrial rights" Also Conservatives: "BUDGET BLACK HOLEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Pretty much, although I'd argue that the problem starts with the supermarket duopoly squeezing farmers' margins and setting up their own farms so they're more or less immune to any threats from farmers to not supply them

I saw this particularly sycophantic tweet from Newcrest patting WA Libs on the back for their victory: https://twitter.com/NewcrestMining/status/917621703194198016 I looked up Newcrest's recent returns and they've paid effectively zero corporate tax in AU for almost three years now thanks to subsidies and carry-forward losses. If they didn't have to pay state-level royalties they wouldn't pay any tax at all. Oh and in FY16 they only paid around $50M royalties which is somehow even less than 2.5% by any metric. A complete loving wrought.
