@ausstockchick No one is going build more housing supply for freaks like that.

I spoke to a property manager who told me these tenants were using the carpet as a toilet. Upon vacate the smell was so bad she was nearly sick. I said do they have pets? Their response. Oh no this is a cultural thing. No joke. #ausbiz

@agrarianliberty And anyway, nothing creates opportunity for an agenda quite like a crisis! Gotta keep them crisis’ coming in hot.

How many votes can you buy today with promises of avoiding future calamity?

@MarkDiStef Ditto

Not a rumor. Both Rinehart and Kerry Stokes dislike Hastie because he testified against Roberts Smith.

@craigkellyAFEE Yeah by that logic we should go back to pencil and paper and turn off the computers

Kos sounds like he would have opposed the tractor, because of all the jobs tractors "took" from workers using picks and shovels. When a new technology improves efficiency, it creates wealth and prosperity and it creates new jobs - jobs in new industries that never existed before.

From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are. Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard. Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt. For these and other reasons, we are not the same. Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival. If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast. So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily? Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily. The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline. Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60. Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number. Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556. The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000. The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined. The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day. "Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs. How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be. Militarily, we don't offer squat. Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims. Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China. Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words. Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves. And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it. And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors. So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it. And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all. Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time. And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

@dlarsen1407 @MikeHudema The fun part is they already had to do that because the first lot delaminated and failed immidiaty.

@MikeHudema After end of life, 30 years, the blades must be buried in non leaky basins to avoid soil and animal life contamination and there is no alternative use. This is not at solution, its like chopping your leg off after a scratch just to avoid the risk of a possible infection

These turbine blades are being installed at the MacIntyre Wind Farm in Australia. It will generate power for up to 700,000 homes. We have the solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

@MikeHudema Is this the first lot or the replacements? because they all delaminated before being commissioned while waiting for new brake parts without asbestos in them.

Australia was handed one of the greatest starting positions of any country in history Massive mineral wealth. Abundant energy. World-class beaches. Amazing climate. No fault lines... no earthquakes or tsunamis If you gave a 12-year-old this setup in a civilisation-building game, they'd build a paradise Instead, we got decades of useless politicians on both sides of the aisle who couldn't run a sausage sizzle at Bunnings without a $4 billion feasibility study and a royal commission Australia isn't unlucky. It's grossly mismanaged

@MarkDiStef I think the states can go away

We need to delete a layer of government. Fine with it being local or federal but one too many for 26m people.

@ausstockchick I totally agree with this. It’s actually exploitation.

Wow. Junior pay rates in fast food, retail and pharmacies scrapped! 18- to 20-years-olds will need to be paid the full adult pay rates. Expect things to get even more expensive. #ausbiz #auspol

@aaronsmith I hope so

Jess Wilson personally wrote a reference for Moira Deeming calling her an "articulate and effective advocate for our party’s values". So, under Wilson, Liberal values include anti-trans politics, policing toilets, whacking LGTB+ people, and removing women's access to abortions.

@OzraeliAvi Moira should still walk away.

🚨 BREAKING: Moira Deeming vindicated. Again. The candidate they chose to replace her has now WITHDRAWN after it emerged that he had previously provided a character reference to a man facing child sex offence charges. The Liberals backed the wrong person. Again.

@MartinMurray_Ag @goodfoodgal Same applies to oil exploration ect. I was more sharing the point that this is the same process for every bit of infrastructure we try to build in Australia doesn’t matter what it is.

@goodfoodgal @CottonEyeAndy That and you’d probably want some oil to refine, which we don’t have

Sad… But true.

@mark16pg My neighbor is a copper. His kids like my Instagram posts.

We just found out that the under 16-year-old ban is a total failure. That's a shock. 10yo outsmarting Labor.

@buperac It’s steam engine

Everyone: “The world is running out of petroleum!” Also Everyone: “The fuel stations are running empty, we are literally running out of fuel!” America:

@JerodMcDaniel How do we get this going

6, 4, 7, & 8 would form an alliance and close their borders to all the rest. *may conduct trade with 5 and allow it to exist as a colony of the new alliance
