You see the trick is to walk into the house's office, bang on the desk and say I want a mortgage.

we do need more bulk billing clinics. the three near me can sometimes be up to a 15 minute wait. i think that's pretty unacceptable imo.

to get an appointment at the local medical centre, with any of the 5 doctors, you have to book it almost two weeks in advance and im probably going to have that be my primary doctor after the family doctor retires at the end of june joy

Sometimes the greens should shut the gently caress up and let the elected government do mild Overton window shifting but otherwise largely ineffective poo poo, but maybe that would hurt them electorally with their hardcore cave-clan megafans idk.

i guess the problem with mild overton window shuffling is that we'll all be underwater/burnt to cinders/both before the overton window has come to terms with what's needed to avoid dying.

h That's a hilariously disingenuous article. It would more accurately read - After working to prevent bringing in a price on carbon by working with a face eating leopard to wound the consensus driven politicians driving change, the greens worked with a terminally wounded government to bring in a Greens-led package [that] included a price on carbon that worked to reduce emissions, The very next election, the face eating leopard ate our face and removed the price on carbon. We fought for – and achieved – gently caress all. We are very proud of our perfect piece of legislation that didn't last a single election cycle, it was so perfect and it is the system's fault it was not recognized for its greatness by the people that it applied to, only international experts that we agree with. It is still our proposed perfect piece of legislation. It has been totally worth 15 years of waiting since knocking over the pretender to good enough legislation to have another go. We are hoping that there is a face eating leopard with enough confidence to help us not have to cave into another consensus driven approach.

If Labor wants to pass it's policies without compromise then maybe they should try winning enough seats to do so instead of stamping their feet and having a tantrum every time the Greens do what people elected them to do rather than being Labors compliant little Nationals equivalent

I for one think it would be cool and good to have meaningful legislation to drive down carbon emissions, rather than another totally performative scheme that enables multinationals to keep boiling the planet at no cost due to a bunch of dumb gently caress offsets that don't actually represent a net reduction in emissions but boy, maybe I'm just an idiot lefty communist for thinking so,

Labor literally can't help itself but to burn all the goodwill in the electorate to make no-one happy. It's right here in the contract they signed. They could've done something about those stage 3 tax cuts which are wildly unpopular with their own demographic and base but it's just a lot better to wring their hands and shrug about how hard it is. They didn't have to shitcan the additional psych sessions (citing cost) but they just can't afford it despite there being a greater burden of cost when people go acute and have to go to the ED. Same with GP/primary care, we could be funding this but we'd rather fund the system at the point of the hospital. hambeet posted:and they get a little bit terfy at times in some states too.

Lol how fragile to have made a page dedicated to defend their biggest failure. At least they appear to take ownership of forcing the Gillard government to a politically unpalatable carbon tax that contributed to the success of the Tony Abbott opposition at the next federal election. The same Tony Abbott they supported to block the CPRS back in 2009. Good on them.

Seemlar posted:If Labor wants to pass it's policies without compromise then maybe they should try winning enough seats to do so instead of stamping their feet and having a tantrum every time the Greens do what people elected them to do rather than being Labors compliant little Nationals equivalent Their issue with coal and gas is they won on some random coal and gas seats, so there's an imperative for the greens and the alp to go hard on the issue. Ignoring all the alp hurt feelings posturing and yelling yesterday on the floor, Bowen and Bandt are being normal about it and continuing a negotiation. My take is that the softest position the alp can take on gas is that they will only approve new facilities if there's a strategic imperative demonstrated. If that's the compromise I think the greens can sell it as a win. The greens are also playing chess across three different pieces of legislation right now being safeguard, nrf and housing. They're not saying they're going to block legislation and have softened their wording, but it will be interesting to see what kind of deal is struck to make it all happen. Pocock is also going in hot on housing and safeguard saying they're poo poo policies, so anything they do to make the greens agree is probably going to have to make him agree as well. Ultimately I don't think the greens are going to block any of the legislation. NPR Journalizard posted:Sometimes you should shut the gently caress up. Another nothing post from a nothing poster.

The CPRS was bad and if you go back in the forums with archives to read our contemporary posts about it, we also thought it was bad. Don't buy into ALP messaging on the CPRS! The one Gillard rolled out was objectively better, shame about the outcome though.

It makes political sense for Labor to attack the Greens. Because no Labor voter is likely to jump off and support the party of Scomo/Dutton. And a Greens voter is even less likely to do so. But your vaguely half arsed left leaning voter may be convinced to abandon Labour for the Greens, and/or Greens for Labour. Depending on circumstance/policy/perception. So the fight for "hearts and minds" is between Labour and the Greens. Because there is where one is most likely to win converts.

BrigadierSensible posted:It makes political sense for Labor to attack the Greens. I don't agree with this. The swing seats that Labor needs to win are in suburban and outer suburban electorates. Polling movement between greens and alp doesn't support this premise either. In the city yes for sure, but in the majority of seats Labor and Liberal are still the competitors. Labor win many of those off greens preferences obviously, but the lions share comes from people leaving team blue. Labor will expect to keep losing increasingly wealthy inner city seats to the greens or indies in the future, so it makes sense to me that they shore up their reputation with established suburban Australia. The vast majority of people are concerned with themselves primarily and the current economic situation really brings that out. It's everyone for themselves and a mortgage holder is going to cast a renter into the void if it means saving their own skin and vice versa.
