Australia, Explained

10 extra targets they could add: 1. Re-established State Electricity Commission Review, wind back, or repeal the SEC model and constitutional entrenchment. Labor revived the SEC in 2023–24.

@Bill_Ballzack @DeeWaynee94 least how I’m trying to understand it) is that humans aren’t built to sin, but built with the capacity to choose—even in ways that break things. That still leaves the uncomfortable question of why that capacity exists at all. I don’t have a perfect answer for that. What’s kept me

Because once your god is all-knowing and all-powerful, not saving everyone becomes a choice, not a limitation. Creating people he knows will end up in hell, when he could have made a world without that outcome, isn’t love or justice. It’s theology trying to make cruelty sound holy.

@peaceinthegreen @divinethree333 (The Killing Fields). Or what possible reason there needs to be "free will" to rape women TO DEATH with razors, and sharp edged phallic devices? Where is the free will of those babies? For these women? The most ultimate acts of love do not surpass these ultimate acts of evil.

Far too many misunderstand the Scriptures. They think they understand them….yet their very statements reveal that they do not. Asking why Jesus didnt come before the Flood shows a lack of grasp of the biblical timeline and Gods redemptive plan. Everything in Scripture serves a divine purpose….a progressive revelation of how God has dealt with His creation thru a series of covenants across history. Each major era in redemptive history was defined by a covenant: from the Edenic and Adamic covenants in the beginning, thru the Noahic and Abrahamic covenants….to the giving of the Law (the Mosaic covenant) and finally culminating in the coming of the Son of God. Jesus arrived “exactly” when He was supposed to….at “the fullness of time,” as Galatians 4:4 declares: As Galatians 4:4 states God sent His eternal Son “when the FULLNESS of time had come” born of a woman, born under the Law, to redeem those who were under the Law. The Flood was not Gods judgment on ordinary…..default humanity. It was His response to extreme pervasive wickedness. Genesis 6 describes a world in which “every intention of the thoughts of mans heart was only evil CONTINUALLY” filled with violence and corruption that deeply grieved God. Those who perished in the Flood were a profoundly wicked generation whose every thought and action was only evil continually. On one hand….the atheists screams how could God allow such evil to persist in the world. Yet when He does judge extreme wickedness….the same voices cry out: “How could God kill women, men, children, babies, pregnant women and even animals?” Atheists are rarely looking for genuine answers. More often….they are looking for a quarrel…..one that allows them to justify their unbelief. Anyone who acts shocked that God can end human life simply fails to understand a basic truth: He is the Author and Giver of life itself. God is not arbitrary. He creates life, sustains it and has the “sovereign right” to take it back. The Flood was not an act of arbitrary cruelty. It was the righteous and rightful judgment of the Creator against a creation that had become violently and irredeemably corrupt. Full stop.

And that’s exactly where One Nation has grown—not because voters suddenly became extreme, but because their reference point moved while the major parties followed it.

👉 Limited resistance to cultural/identity policy settings compared to historical Liberal positions.

👉 Accepting high migration settings with minimal structural pushback 👉 Expanding government spending rather than materially reducing it

@MAGA_R_LOW_IQ Fairness / Equality Language - Left outcomes are engineered with prejudice, rather than creating true equal opportunity. "Level the playing field" - Often involves heavy intervention or redistribution as opposed to 'opening the door'.

@MAGA_R_LOW_IQ Let's start with Unity / Kindness Framing The “Be Kind” Movement. It's used very selectively; Disagreement gets labelled as unkind & then exclusion. “Social cohesion” isn't about togetherness in our differences, it's used to suppress dissent to maintain a preferred narrative.

@MAGA_R_LOW_IQ That's a great question, and I can't put the whole reply in one post. Bear with me and I'll post in several below. First and foremost, they should do what they claim to do. I think the reason people get frustrated so much with the Left, is because they are so hypocritical.

@scelaptic Migration has modest or mixed per-capita benefits. And - Gains are uneven (business > workers, especially low-skilled).

@scelaptic Pauline Hanson's One Nation has consistently argued for: Lower net migration Prioritising skilled, critical workers Reducing temporary visa reliance (students, low-wage labour)....cont.

@AusExplained Let’s talk…can you please tell me ON plan to stem immigration and their stated facts about how that plan will affect our economy in growth and $$$$. I’d also like you explain, based on researched facts how this will improve the housing market for both buyers and renters.

@scelaptic It wasn’t a simple tax gas = fix prices proposal. A flat 25% export tax would hit long-term contracts, risk investment, & may not increase domestic supply at all. Australia already taxes gas (PRRT + company tax) — the issue is design, not just adding another blunt tax.

@AusExplained Whilst you’re at it, can you please explain, using proven facts, not opinions, why PH has voted against a 25% export tax on our gas resources which the majority of Australians think is a must and should be extended to other natural resources…let’s start with these 2. I’ll wait…

@rai_4draghi @SenatorWong That’s why conflating criticism of Islam with harm to Muslims doesn’t hold. Critiquing an ideology, even harshly, is not a policy proposal and not a threat to people’s rights.

@rai_4draghi @SenatorWong No one is PROPOSING — or even capable of — banning a religion in Australia. Our Constitution explicitly protects freedom of religion. So the scenario you’re describing cannot legally occur.

Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day we mark the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. It was an honour to attend last year's service at the Memorial commemorating the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust and the survivors who carry their legacy.
