Australia voted in a Leftist Govt last night

Bullshit. People just wanted a change. And as we know, once all the promises filter through Parliament there won't be much difference between the parties.

What I would like to see is incentives for Australian bright ideas, education and intelligence to produce something useful here. AstraZeneca would have been a boon, unfortunately it was a lemon.

 

takes longer to fix things then it did to break them.... and if it's like the USA, the right will try to stop them as they do not want them to do anything good for the people that might be seen as a win

 

greedy Corporatism is destroying Capitalism... that is what brings Socialism

Countries need to stop outsourcing their jobs overseas

 

you think 4 years of Trump effected Australia too? Trump was bad.... but that bad?

 

Weren't we told that if Trump beat Killary, he'd start a nuclear war on his first day??

 

who told you that?

 

What such people might believe or not believe is pretty much irrelevant (beyond the fact they'll just end up disappointing themselves of course). All that matters is what is. And in this case what 'is' is the fact that Labor haven't had anything approaching the dictionary definition of radical socialist agenda since the 1970s.

 

• Australia's new leader has vowed to take the country in a new direction, with a big shift in climate policy.
Anthony Albanese said Australia could become a " renewable energy superpower ."

~ Hold on to your pocketbook folks ! Covid and climate change will have OZ under " new and better" totalitarian policies that will put most in the poor house. '
Meanwhile China will make solar panels and windmills for the masses — all the while using cheap and reliable power from coal. ( maybe some natural gas too ! )

 

This dates me - I was an ardent conservationist late 1960's. It was about species and habitat.
Come 1976, after the Viet War and it all changed. Now it was 'American bases', Pinegap,
'nuclear winter' issues. Wots going on? It was the Viet War activists moving to a new issue.
issue. 'Global Freezing' was a big issue too. I stopped being a 'greenie.'

 

PLEASE tell us how immigration causes even HALF of the troubles you list.

 

Private enterprise isn't prepared to wear the cost of new coal fired power plants and the old ones are wearing out. In addition gas is too expensive to use in power systems except as peak levelers. So what to you suggest we do for electricity in one of the sunniest continents on Earth? Burn kangaroo poo? For that matter there are already plans on the board to export electricity to Singapore via an undersea cable from a massive solar farm project located in Northern Australia. That particular project may pan out, it may not but it's certainly technically feasible. And so are similar projects designed to transmit power to Indonesia.

 

Governments are like nappies.
They need changing regularly...for the same reason.

 

I am conservative and work with the Electoral Commission. And yes, it's good to have a 'churn' of
government. Russia is a perfect example where people have a job for life - and that breeds corruption.
I think Liberal and Labor are both good parties - it's the rest I am wary of.

 

~ Australia should have elected Elon Musk !

 

Now the Truth behind this statement:
Australia was NUMBER THREE in space tech after the USSR, USA. Courtesy of Britain who developed their own tech
at Woomera. When Britain left Australia could have continued this space tech but chose not to. Why? Rober Menzies
is blamed when he cancelled the technology - but he said it was regrettable but the electorate had no patience with
'spending money on space.'
You don't spend money in space - you spend it on earth.
Now the Australia coal industry is worth about 75 billion dollars a year to Australia.
How much will Musk's Star Link be worth TO HIMSELF?
Starlink is 'worth' 80 billion dollars, according to Morgan Stanley, and SpaceX is worth 100 billion dollars.

One man, more or less - earning more than Australia's entire coal industry.
Musk spoke of earning 40 billion a year from Starlink to fund his space projects.

And tomorrow no-one will want coal, and the value of space will be hundreds of times more than it is today.

 

It is the term "liberal" that is reversed in much of the world from the American sense.

 

My opinion: the closest we came to a leader who had an independent grand vision of Australia was Keating. And he left school at 15.

Turnbull could have been ok but he was too weak with his own party.

 

And the result? That party has just reaped what it sowed.

 

I don’t. But he was better than this guy. The best person that has stepped foot in the White House in this century is Pence. At least we had him during Trump.

 

I try not to be partisan. My father had a personal correspondence with him about climate change.

 

I believe that it will soon be common knowledge that the national debts of the United States, Canada, Israel and Australia are significantly a practical joke being played on ninety nine point nine percent of the population by a tiny segment of the population......
so.... the new leftist government of Australia is actually in a pretty good position to accomplish many positive steps in the right direction.

Here is one of my suggestions for them.....

Here is my suggestion number two......



COVID 19 and unconditional income supplement to all Australians

 

IOW, you were really screwed, and now you will be screwed again.
That is how the party system works. Full service.

 

Which is why this time a whole lot of independent's got voted in. We use preferential voting and the primary vote for both parties tanked down to 30%??? ish. Which means Labor only won on preferences. Both sides have some sole searching to do if they want to regain trust.
