I mean sure, Rudd had Work choices but Shorten has this royal flush of Medicare, University Fees, gently caress the banks, proper NBN and high speed rail? Anything else? Seems like quite the warchest

Meanwhile, Turnbull (or Dutton) has:

I have no idea what to think of this one. If she has been framed how would the guy who planted it on her know where to get the stuff at the other end?

If she did do it, she must be monumentally stupid. At least she wasn't trying to smuggle drugs out of a country with a death sentence for it.

But it did give the presenters plenty of scope to 'mention' the 'fabulous new facilities at Canberra Airport' a fact that Capital Property Finance Pty Ltd must be overjoyed about.

I'm wondering if after the 2014 budget not getting anything through if Unis aren't too worried about this one.

I feel like back in 2014 I'd already received emails from the VC that things were going to be fine, we'll work through it, blah blah but nothing so far with these announced cuts.

Do tertiary education changes need to pass the Senate or can they be ~implemented via regulation~? I'm looking to go back to uni later this year and I'm feeling a little nervous

Senate. 2014 had worse cuts and they never made it through.

It's not like there are going to be any consequences whatsoever for him, so is there even any point publicly outing him as a lying fuckweasel?

It's something to hammer him with next election. And if enough sources call for Dutton to resign, that tends to stick around in the public memory.

The sheer amount of outrage coming out of the banks is boggling. Increasing their taxes is an 'assault' and 'unwarranted'. Then the petulant toddler kicks in and they scream that they are going to pass it all on to customers anyway so Nayh Nayh Nayh. I expect a rape comparison from one of them by COB.

It's not hard to forsee this is what would happen. Big corporations would rather jack up prices, cut staff or cut services than even think about touching wages or bonuses at the top end
