The “lifetime health cover loading” is a scam and is disingenuous, I believe it’s only loaded for 10 years. I’m personally ok with the Medicare levy, id rather pay that than pay for private health insurance.

Apparently not as hard as him?

Edit: or perhaps harder than him?? I’m not sure where I want to land with this comment yet.

What the fuck is going on here, Jesus Christ. Can’t we just get some normal policy and politicians for a while.

Now you’re sounding like a taco ad. Unfortunately, until the majority of mainstream media is not owned by conservatives or traditional press dies out… I don’t see any meaningful tax reform in the future

Are you suggesting I can save money by installing an AR-15 into my computer? Helps with immersion I suppose.

It’s not even about taxing the rich. It’s about appropriately taxing corporations. We’re selling all of our natural resources for absolutely negligible value to the Australian people.

Yeah, I haven’t used reddit for years, but recently landed there trying to figure out an issue with raspberry pi /ssh. So much content and support… real shame

She never really had them behind her though. Even from the start, it was called out that she was dead (wo)man after the horrific results (for liberals) from the last federal election

One nation has hit like a 25% preferred, everything is a meme.

Don’t make me giggle at something so outrageous.

I mean… Not to be taken the wrong way… But there’s not really anything left for cannabilism.

I now just go to the specialist stores. Some times might be a bit more money, but often much better service.

• Go to mitre 10 / dahlsens for generalist store (or if you’re lucky you might have a small family business)
• Total tools / Sydney tools for tools
• Reece for plumbing goods
• Local wood provider for wood.
• Metal land for any metal needs etc.

Sure, strictly speaking it’s not as convenient… but good service, good quality (variable) , not supporting a Monopoly.

Just effectively they have monopolised, have unfair trading practices with small businesses that supply goods, are increasingly changing product for their own brand which then means the “lowest price guaranteed” is pretty null and void because you can’t buy their items anywhere else.

Just noting, I watched this a long time ago, but it left a bad enough taste in my mouth to stop me from going there any more

I stopped shopping at Bunnings after the ABC video here. Feel free to do the same.

That’s an interesting take and one I categorically disagree with… but heck share some more. Can you explain what exactly a police officer does to ensure there is not a power shift ? How do you think the proletariat class does not have awareness that they are a lowest class worker who is trading their time for profit? What does a police officer do day to day to impact this, seeing as your sentiment is police incidentally help sometimes from this I take you mean a majority of police work is for capitalism. I would have thought if there was such a strong focus on protecting capitalism, they would for example be strongly enforcing illegal tobacco, they are not. Most protests that I am aware of are generally around environment, human rights. I haven’t seen a protest around proletariat low SES rights, why do you think that is? Keen for your thoughts

By saying ACAB people are stating that community police, highway patrol, detectives, cyber, specialist forces are all bastards. It’s a ridiculous statement that doesn’t help address anything. So you need to address specifics, gather themes and drive that agenda (e.g. police response in crowd control is excessive and should be condemned). ACAB is pointless and simply an attempt to evoke emotion.

Sure, I agree peer accountability is also important. This comes down to education, training, and culture. But let’s not all pretend that in our workplace we pull up everyone. Let’s not also pretend that what my peer does is equal or representative to what I do

Feel free to discuss all the history you want, labelling every person is just pointless, because it’s factually inaccurate.

I’ve never understood this sentiment, because obviously not all cops are bastards. It doesn’t really help call out inappropriate behavior because as soon as you pull the ACAB it makes the discussion hollow

It doesn’t, but the trauma they’ll be exposed to will impact them eventually.

Holden defended his thought process in trusting the quiz and voting for Trump, explaining that his 17-hour workdays leave little time for political research.

If he’s working 17 hours a day 7 days a week, he’s farming wrong.
