But it's not dumb because NSW are a bunch of galahs that poisoned the lockdown well with great and visionary leadership like "eh we'll probably have to live with covid it's been... what twenty minutes of lockdown and the cases aren't going down? oh btw other states lol guess what's for christmas".

I'm pretty sure I'm officially a racist now, because I agree with 90% of the Sustainable Australia Party's submission to the housing supply and affordability inquiry.quote:Dearer residential property and land does not create national wealth. It simply creates a society of haves and have-nots, increases the cost of living and doing business, and retards the capacity of individuals, families and banks to invest in wealth-generating small businesses and other economic enterprises. This collectively starves the broader Australian economy of capital. quote:We believe that a key driver of corruption in politics is donations and gifts made to political parties and candidates for public office. We believe that the rules concerning these donations have not been adequate to prevent ever larger donations having an increasingly corrupting effect on the political process and subsequent housing policy. quote:The Sustainable Australia Party believes that the housing policies of the major parties are directly influenced by funding from the property industry. quote:• Remove the 50 per cent discount of capital gains tax on taxable Australian property (nonprincipal place of residence). Who do I contact to get an armband?

JBP posted:Ugh He's right. Victoria focused too much on cosmetic rules that do nothing (curfew) and didn't focus nearly enough attention on essential workers and workplaces. It was only after we reformed workplace testing rules last year that we started bringing the second wave under control. It's crazy that people are only allowed to go outside for two or three hours a day, when virtually no transmission occurs outdoors. Yet many workplaces don't have mandatory testing programs for essential workers.

"Chip on your shoulder". "Arrogant and smug". "Don't like your tone". "You're a flog". These are not normal responses to choosing to read someone's posts, and say much more about the sad people that make comments like this everyday than anything else.

Seriously. just really solid real estate and renters law changes. Even including stuff like pets and picture hangers so renters can actually feel like they live in a home and not just a long term hotel. Pets is a really big one.

They're right about housing policy, but they might be right about housing policy and racist.

Just went through their policies and they are definitely overly NIMBY in places, but while I wouldn't want them entirely in charge they do seem like a good counterbalance to the privatise everything and a coal furnace for every home policies of the LNP.

I just ignore the numbers cos caring about them is basically self harm at this point. I care about all the damage it's causing to people but I can't do anything, can't get much more lockdown-ed than we are now and it's not working so I just mentally surrendered and focus on running and making art

Sorry I didn't mean to imply that I knew they were racist now, that's my only memory of them, back from the Dick Smith LESS IMMIGRATION NAOW days. They could have easily pivoted away from that poo poo in the intervening time. EDIT: Back from the sustainable population party days before they renamed: https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/rise-populationists-greenwashes-racism EDIT2: From wikipedia their one member in state parliament seems to have a pretty good voting record however: "On the environment, the party advocates for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below year 2000 levels by 2050, or cutting further if possible."  wow, much sustainable. hooman fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Sep 23, 2021 |

No, unless you consider any opinion on immigration that isn't "increase it" to be racist. But unfortunately for them 'it has been decreed'....so they are. I just had a look through their policies as well...there nothing particularly offensive in there and a lot of it I quite like. The tax ideas are pretty good, remove the 50 per cent discount of capital gains tax on taxable Australian property (non-principal place of residence) and abolish negative gearing. Stop profit shifting overseas. So yeah i think it's literally just the wanting immigration to go down not up.

To be honest that's partially true, there's also the fact that even though we were super locked down I can tell you up here in the North no one gave a flying about the lock down and just kept on keeping on I'm guessing out west the situation would have been similar. I think a lot of people were just sick of lockdowns and didn't take it seriously after all the others. It also seems that theres been zero enforcement of compliance anywhere. It also doesn't help that pretty much every news corp media outlet has been spamming Victoria doomed rise up against your oppressors non stop, probably leading to a lot of non compliance. At the same time putting out articles saying things are looking peachy in NSW even when the case numbers where going up.

I think there might be a limit of lockdown duration that the population will tolerate before compliance starts breaking down. Maybe Melbourne has used up all it's lockdown

EoinCannon posted:I think there might be a limit of lockdown duration that the population will tolerate before compliance starts breaking down. I think Sydney is very close to that limit right now and that's one of the reasons Gladys is throwing out small concessions as we approach 70% double. At the beginning of Melbourne's lockdown, there was a lot of "let's show NSW how it's done" sentiment being expressed on social media. There is probably genuine frustration on the part of many who've been doing all the right things but not seeing the same result as last year.
