Eg: how does this government sell a repeat of Budget 2014?

They failed in '15 & '16 too, so why buck the trend?

National sovereignty isn't necessarily an idea that can't be questioned. It's pretty toxic most of the time actually, see Australia.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:

A Turnbull government cabinet minister has been caught out failing to properly declare her financial interests, potentially placing her in “serious contempt” of federal parliament.

Employment Minister Michaelia Cash did not declare a mortgage on a $1.4 million investment property for almost four months – and finally made the disclosure only after questions from Fairfax Media.

Ms Cash bought the house next door to her home in the upmarket Perth suburb of Floreat in early November, property records show.

It’s the fourth house in her portfolio, and second investment property. Ms Cash took almost three months to declare the house but did not declare the new mortgage – both of which are required under the rules.

Well as was shown in the Gold Coast recently it's pretty easy to just buy a house of that price on a whim and kind of just forget to declare it.

It loving staggers me how blind some people are to privilege to the point where they publicly go and write something like this and that the subject herself seems to honestly believe it was all her own work rather than having every single thing in her life handed to her on a silver plate.

It takes like 20 years to go from site selection, reactor design, plant design, plant construction, first criticality, testing and then finally live power generation. Especially in the post "BUT IT MIGHT BLOW UP" world.

And then you have all the neckbeards who will go BUT IN 20 YEARS CHINA WILL HAVE (testing stage) FUSION.
Fusion is like 50 years away from Australia.

Isn't there a whole bunch of other supporting industries that should be built up as well? And education? I don't think this government really digs that kind of project.

paraphrasing what I heard on ABC Radio 20 minutes ago:

host: the business tax cuts aren't really popular with the broader public though are they? A recent IPSOS poll puts support at about 44%

president of the BCA: well, they're not 50% or more but there is clearly a majority who support the cuts

host: -did not challenge that verbal diarrhea at all-
