I agree with Labor senator Sam Dastyari's assessment that "standing for something will always beat standing for nothing". I am unsure this is a permanent truth for all campaigns everywhere, but it does catch the mood of the times.

Except 2014 planning documents for the refurbishment specifically cite making the building look nicer for the poshos in the other buildings looking onto it as their reasoning for installing it, and even if it weren't it would have literally cost an extra £5000 to get non-flammable cladding. Definitely Green ideology and not rich shitheads that caused those deaths.

Apparently the mosque stopped being hardline back in 2005 too. So not only have they got the wrong mosque but the mosque they're saying is a problem hasn't been that way for over a decade. Basically what I'm saying is that they're lying to further radicalise the racists and should therefore be in prison.

They also just won a defamation case after HSBC closed their bank account due to their old links to fundamentalism.

No. I'm arguing against someone who implies that anyone who doesn't succeed at secondary education is a lazy idiot, like some weird educational variant of the bootstraps argument. What, do people think the average kid comes to the HSC or VCE or whatever with the skills, knowledge, and background they need to apply themselves to their learning?

I'm actually the one saying that kids who need help and attention are more than "kids that are autistic" and "kids that can't read". Because that latter category -- if expanded to kids who read below their expected level -- is huge. There're plenty of secondary school classrooms where Year 11 kids can't really read at an appropriate level, where they still need to sound words -- and these aren't poor schools by any metric. In 2013, a study found that 44% of Australians have such low levels of literacy that they have difficulty with daily tasks. That's huge!

What the gently caress are you talking about? He specifically said kids who are bright and apply themselves will do well regardless. Now sure that sounds loving obvious, but plenty of teachers spend a lot of time with these kids because they want them to reach their absolute potential and feel good about themselves when dealing with kids who want to learn. If a kid has to sound out words in year 11 then they're likely functionally illiterate and exactly the sort of kid Cartoon was talking about.

Essentially you're agreeing with him, unless you're saying your functionally illiterate kids should not have more attention than they do now, or somehow find the extra time for teachers to both have more time with those kids struggling with reading and the top achievers.

Of course the other problem is bright kids who get loving bored and don't apply themselves, but to my mind mediocrity is better than not being able to complete the work.

Pretty sure you're looking for that implication. I read it quite the opposite. It's not that big a hurdle and the fact we don't give our teachers the resources and support to teach a large number kids to even that level is a major failing. Turning around and then blaming disadvantaged kids for holding back those already at the top is a hosed up response to this failing.

I think because the true value of the home is unknown and auctions inflate the average suburban value of a property indefinitely. Eventually no one is gonna turn up to auctions and sellers wanna sell so prices will gradually normalise to bring the buyers back.

Sure, if everyone selling properties had functionally infinite money and could just easily weather a downturn. People are borrowing to buy houses so they can rent them out. When rents drop, mortgages will default and the thing will come tumbling down.

They're trying to get the last dregs out of it that they can, so prices are either about to skyrocket or they already have and we're about to crash. The, 'it's alright, it'll naturally decline/plateau line" is used so that small property investors don't get scared and pull out before the large ones can pump it up enough to profit from bursting it.
