The silver lining to all this is that a workforce crushed under the boot of business owners, and a government unwilling to spend big to dig us out of a recession is going to ruin the LNP's economic credentials for a while

I'm actually hanging out for details on JobMaker. I'm going back to do a pre-apprenticeship in Furniture Making, and I might qualify for Free TAFE in Victoria as I'm unemployed even though I have a rather meaningless Certificate III (the pre-app is a Certificate II) and I'm worried that there'll be something that gets in the way of that... They really need to reform subsidies on TAFE courses to make it more realistic for mature-aged unemployed seeking reskilling. Will JobMaker do that? Maybe.

Tafe will be subcontracted to serco, and by the time you are qualified nobody will have money to buy anything you make. That's my prediction anyway

I assume that stores with the terminals for those cards only exist inside the zones, so those people are kind of screwed?

Electric Wrigglies posted:I think you would be surprised at how many "rich boomer" are pretty much rich only in the massive and sweetly located house they live in. I don’t disagree on there are heaps but I reckon the actual rich boomers have multiple properties. I honestly think that if you’ve just have the one house it’s not fair to count that in. You’re living in it. We bought the house we live in years ago and it’s gone up by over half. We definitely have not got richer by that amount. Some people will downsize anyway and tax the ever living poo poo out of second properties for retirees and that would fix it.

What's that quote? "it is better to let 100 million people die in wretched poverty than increase a billionaire's tax footprint by one red cent" I personally am interested in the idea of mixed-generational community living arrangements, not on the family level but instead apartment complex or neighbourhood. Same way you have the bottom floor of most apartment buildings serving as shops/businesses, and doctors etc mixed in with residential apartment blocks. But that would require a number of key conceptual shifts in Australian values, the opposite beliefs being the ones that have helped lead to this garbage situation in the first place -- i.e. the primary dream being to have a too-big house with a princely garden and a nice fat wall to isolate you from anybody who might dare co-exist on the same continent Sulla Faex fucked around with this message at 10:15 on May 26, 2020 |

That said I do rather like the big garden in our new house, had to move out a fair way out to get it though!

If you get panic attacks at the idea of seeing another human being, then by all means it's perfectly reasonable to want a higher level of isolation. But on a broader social level, endless suburbia is not a good solution, sorry

Those poor people in apartment blocks where the virus was essentially coming back up out of the sewer lines and being drawn by extractor fans into the air were horror stories.

I can't believe the LNP can get away with changing leaders so often. Honestly it felt like the public hated that poo poo because they were Presidential thinkers. But now I know they only believe it's Presidential when the media tells them it's a Presidential position. Which is only if LABOAR is in office SPENDING YIUR HARD EARNED CASH ON FEMALE OFFICE POSITIONS MADE IN CHINA.
