The greens should agitate for full nationalisation of the extractive resources industry, anything less is just further proof that they're a bunch of Chardonnay sipping inner city wanker nerds

What I'm hearing is basically suspend democracy, go to war with some of the country's biggest companies and then spitefully destroy the industry wholesale so that those private interests move overseas and take their equipment leaving a bunch of government officials to work out how to run a mine and buy all the poo poo to do it with.

Suspend makes it sound like I intend to reintroduce it at some point

The problem is that right now it's the only industry motoring hard to make the economy grow. I understand the ideological problems with the statement I've made, but it's true and it's what people care about.

You'd be better off just paying people to burn money tbh with the subsidies that coal and extractives in general get. Cut out the middle man.

4 soldiers killed in an air base is an incredibly low figure

The story is they fled by foot or car so that explains the planes

Surely the primary purpose of the strike is to ground their Air Force, by destroying both planes and runway/hangar infrastructure, in which case

If you're sensible about your capacity with regards to mortgage repayments (and this means factoring in our current historically low interest rates, and the fact that they will rise), and are buying something that you can live in for 10 years if necessary, then there isn't really such a problem with buying now.

�Everyone has got to live within their means and government ultimately is no different to businesses and households,� Mr Abbott said.

�If you spend more than you earn, ultimately you go broke and our country has been living on the credit card since 2008 and sooner or later it is all going to end badly. This budget is as good as any time to get on with it.�

Presumaby this is the same tony abbott that took out a loan to cover living expenses?

Toyota Australia has hitched its wagon to Melbourne�s boom in high-rise living with plans for a massive four-tower apartment project over its dealership just outside the CBD.

The proposed development � with more than 1000 apartments earmarked for residents and student accommodation � has taken a step forward, winning endorsement from Melbourne�s city council this week.

That backing will add weight to the plan which now goes to the state government for a final decision.

I haven't checked out any details but a big part of me says this is good, a car lot is a massive underutilisation of a prime spot in terms of location

The idea that councils are run by developers is frankly dumb. In Victorian cases where councils call in planning applications for a decision rather than leaving the decision delegated to the planning officers, the vast majority are to refuse a permit due to community opposition. Councils approving a development when officers recommended it be refused are vanishingly rare.

You could take that view or just accept that it is within the margin of error. Meanwhile what does it mean for Peter Dutton's leadership ambitions?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-23/dutton-sticks-by-manus-shooting-account/8464994

"He was begging for it"

The last minister who did this was Peter Reith and it ultimately led to his resignation and departure from parliament. Has Dutton been set up for this to end his miserable leadership run? I want to see if he actually gets canned for it. My money is on no.
ftfy.

Coles are trying to co-opt the ANZAC brand by running a charitable donation scheme this year. Donating for the benefit of veteran's and their families always makes me wonder what the gently caress our government and the Department of Veteran's affairs are doing for them. Support our troops yourselves you insufferable muppets.

I don't know about other states, but councils in Victoria overwhelmingly lean NIMBY when departing from planning advice.

I'm not trying to say they're good, but when they are bad it's more often due to pandering for votes or the most petty spiteful bullshit you can imagine than for bribes.

Case in point: metropolitan council in Victoria, a greens and socialist majority get elected with housing affordability as their central campaign item. One of the first decisions they overrule planning officers on after being elected? Refusing a permit for a social housing program because poor people nearby may drop house prices.
