The strange thing is he might win if he just says "coal is hosed and we need to find new industries for people to work in. Let's say no to Adani and instead yes to [some random clean energy industry].".

People are okay with bad news if you follow it up with "but we'll do X instead".

The Gatwick was not the reason people stopped going to St.Kilda. They stopped going to St.Kilda because it went from being a vibrant, low rent, arts community with lots of live music venues to a piss boring corporate cafe strip with dogshit dull bars that charge too much. Money killed St.Kilda, not homeless people (who have always been there).

If his homeless and destitute argument rang true no one would go to the CBD anymore and welpppppp

Enough people are sufficiently dumb that the media (owned by the rich) would convince them it was the fault of some other group brown people.


Personally I would benefit immensely from a housing crash because I've no dependents, my parents own property I can fall back on if I cant find a place to rent, and I have enough liquid capital that I could potentially make a lot of money in the ensuing chaos. My job couldn't give the first gently caress about the Australian economy, the whole country could slip under the sea and It would make almost no difference (and don't get me started on how much I would LOVE a collapse in the value of the Aussie dollar).

However a major recession would devastate most of my friends. I know a lot of people that bought at relatively high prices way out of the city, or that have huge debts that they need their jobs to service, or who work in sectors that benefit from the boom (mostly construction). Yes, it would be nice for me to be king dick for a change considering I spent most of my twenties poor as gently caress, but this wont hurt boomers and property investors nearly as much as one would think because for the most part they have enough capital to shrug off the damage. It will hurt ordinary people in their 40s and down, because they have had to engage with this over-leveraged economy just to live a good normal life.

To me, these calls for a recession now are basically a big ol' dose of accelerationism and anyone that is actively wishing for a forest fire to pass through their community hasn't thought about it properly.

I've thought about it and I can see some good in a small fee per parcel. Cheap Chinese goods are allowed to come into the country for next to nothing and local retailers can't hope to compete because they actually have to pay for shipping. It's ridiculous that local mail carriers have to eat the cost of that shipping as well.

There are obvious problems with collecting the revenue, and I'm aware this will affect other nations mail as well, and I don't trust this government not to gently caress it up, and it may run afoul of international mailing agreements. But I don't have an issue with forcing businesses that have gotten a free ride for the last decade to actually pay for the services they use.

Victoria went from 50 women's teams in 2011 to 1000 in 2017.


They got the rights for two years for free. Zero cost to the afl to show games. They were rewarded with massive ratings for the first season, lots of free advertising money, pure profit and no cost to them apart from staff wages.

But from next season the rights will be sold off, so rumours are they are tanking the aflw so the cost will be lower due to poor ratings/interest etc. Here's hoping Channel 10 come in and try to swipe it off from channel 7 like they have done with the WBBL with channel 9.

My local club has about 40 excess girls this year, we werent allowed to run a 3rds because the Vafa isn't equipped to deal with the numbers yet, not enough grounds.

Vegetarian fare needs to improve a bit first. A lot of the time when I go out vegetarian options are frilly little lightweight meals designed for 45 kilo hipster girls. Much of the time I end up getting the meat option simply because I'll need 5 of those overpriced herb bread and dip platters to fill me up. Its a godsend when I actually find places that will provide a hearty, filling vegetarian meal.

And why the gently caress is vegetarian pasta only like a buck cheaper? That pumpkin is 2$ a kilo at the shops, beef starts at 15$.

The fair work commission is broken not because of Labor, but because of the Liberal party who have stacked the gently caress out of it with right wing business lobbyists.

Even if that weren't the case, The Greens are still utilizing the same divisive electioneering bullshit that many of us found so distasteful at the batman by election. By a transplant from another political party that probably doesn't really believe in much beyond 'get elected', no less.

My mother frequently complains to me about her boomer friends. Tonight she had dinner with one of them that thought it was really funny and clever that Matthew Guy had screwed over Andrews by double crossing him on the pairing issue.

There's another group she's known for 40 years that keep yelling at her about how great Peter Dutton is and at least those refugees are safe in their accommodation in Nauru.
