Sure, but you don't see John Howard admitting in public "we shouldn't have sold everything and handed the profits to Boomers and corporations in tax cuts because it didn't work and tanked the future" or "fabricating news about kids being thrown from a boat to drum up racist sentiment towards immigrants was something I wish we hadn't done"

Also I like sausages and bacon but I do make a mean Gujarati dal, and a cup and a half and a cup of rice can feed you for 3 days easily, see here. I add veges like sweet potato and finish off with lemon juice and sugar, cos that's how I like curries.

I'm not bothered by red meat being a potential carcinogen, what worries me is the supermarkets putting shitloads of sugar into sausages and other meat blends.

The last thing anyone in this country needs is more carbohydrates. Especially, hidden ones.

Imo they should start regulating this before we end up putting sugar in literally everything a la America (but cane sugar not corn syrup obvs)

Dutton admitted The Boats never stopped coming.
https://www.sbs.com.au/news/compassion-can-undo-efforts-against-people-smugglers-dutton

quote:

The boats are still coming and if the government were to relax its tough stance, such as by transferring refugees held on Manus and Nauru to the mainland, it would see the people-smuggling business restart, he told The Weekend Australian.

"We are in a danger phase because only a month ago we stopped a steel-hulled vessel with 131 people coming out of Sri Lanka, there aret...

The boats are there, we are scuttling boats, we are returning people and we are turning around boats where it is safe to do so. The boats haven't gone away and if there is a success defined by an arrival of a boat in Australia then the word will spread like wildfire."

Very true, they're putting sugar in bottles of minced garlic for no reason I can figure. See also dubious claims of "no added sugar or salt". Avoid the honey sausages, its not honey.

I'm so confused. I thought locking people up on torture islands stopped the boats, if the boats are still coming why are we still locking people up in vassal nations?

Processed meat is a class A carcinoegen, which means it is known that it causes cancer.

Also the meat industry is inherently cruel and bad for the environment.

It's part of the problem with the whole system - cheaply made, less healthy options are a lot cheaper than the quality stuff.

I remember doing a special diet through gym (they called it the leaning challenge, so it was a high fat low carb diet) and the requirements for seafood and stuff made my grocery bill go through the roof.

Next time ask him if he thinks if "It can't be any worse than what we already have" is a good criteria to judge the quality of a $40+ billion project.
