Turnbull who trumpets causes people like but instantly caves to the hard right of his own party, the definition of a craven populist, calls out Bill Shorten for doing literally the opposite of being a craven populist by having a slightly brave policy that idiots will generally disagree is good but is totally necessary for the country. holy poo poo.

The issue isn't that "immigration is causing problems", the issue is that "policies by the governments of the last 15 years are causing problems". They've had high immigration without requisite spending and investment in infrastructure. Saying immigration is a problem is the dogwhistle because it's framed as a fault of immigrants rather than a fault of governments who chose those specific policies that are causing these issues.

JBP I can understand where you are coming from. It's quite possible that you're right and we've all been so primed by toxicity over the last few years that articles about the problems with a lack of investment in infrastructure (which is the actual problem) discussing immigration seems like it's setting up political goalkicking from Tony Abbott et al. In the context of the recent rhetoric coming out of them to me it feels gross, but that might just be because I expect the worst these days.

gucci bane posted:Love to welcome highly skilled workers into my country where graduate jobs are extremely hard to come by. Baby boomers need more money from their shares. Even caring for a second about the middle class youth of our country is dog whistling. Underemployment, non existent wage growth and imported temporary workers are a totally discussion about immigration policy levers than infrastructure HTH. Also again, these aren't problems with immigration as much as wealth transfer policies, casualisation, worker disempowerement and union busting. Immigration creates growth, who benefits from that growth is based on government policy not immigration itself. 457 visas are total dogshit though and should have been run out of town with pitchforks years ago, so I guess I agree with you there. Identifying something that sounds like a lovely dogwhistle isn't actually an argument in favor of the opposite. I honestly don't know what Australia should be doing population wise, whether we should be looking to grow, maintain or shrink. Placing blame with immigration and thus immigrants for the issues we have in this country is total bullshit though and I'm mad at that.

If Labor were serious about the budget deficit they'd roll back the howard era tax cuts. But har har har. We'll pay for boomers profligacy forever. Also regarding infrastructure, it's generally understood that infrastructure spending provides ROI of about 1.4 unless your infrastructure is already great, so saying population growth needs more infrastructure therefore may end up not gaining us anything is arguing from flawed assumptions. I'm not a population scientist or researcher, but I'd imagine the papers about it would take those things into account, as long as they're not being written by the IPA.

This is artfully timed. Also wouldn't estate taxes be a non ideological position because it works against wealth inequality which causes economic problems? Obviously you'd need enforcement/taxation/gifting laws to make sure it isn't evaded but yeah.

Lid posted:The massive volatility we have seen in the established global order recently has been driven primarily by an unlikely union between religious and cultural ultraconservatives — such as the Tea Party movement in the United States and the UK Independence Party (UKIP) — and radical leftist movements that would rather disrupt or dismantle the entire framework of government than support a moderate leader. Just imagine being this wrong about everything.

It's one of the issues that Corbyn is a failure on and Hildebrand managed to gently caress that reading up. Except that corbyn running dead on brexit is poo poo. He may not have agreed with it but he actually campaigned much harder than the tories to remain.
