Name the best-tasting chocolate in the world.
And don't even think about posting "Hershey's." That stuff tastes like vomit-flavored wax.
For me? Cadburys Dairy Milk and Milka.

Housing is a complex and difficult problem that's been building for 40 years. The idea that you can solve it quickly and easily - it's just disingenous. But we’re focused on a comprehensive approach that is tackling the problem from every single angle.

@triiadxx The people who made the beautiful ones didn’t have art degrees

Stop treating art degrees like theyre useless then.

@CraigSarg73 So your argument is we need low skilled third world workers to exploit so your vegetables don’t become more expensive. So virtuous

Farmers across Australia are warning that hard caps on migration will hit food production and push grocery prices even higher.
Their message is pretty straightforward:
“If you want affordable food on the table, farms need workers.”
For years Australian agriculture has relied heavily on migrant labour to pick fruit, harvest crops, process food and keep regional farms operating. Many farmers are already struggling to fill these roles locally.
The reality is simple:
Less workers = lower food production.
Lower food production = higher prices at the checkout.
People can debate migration policy all they want, but the people actually growing Australia’s food are openly saying labour shortages are already hurting the industry.
At some point Australia has to answer a basic question:
Who exactly is going to do the work that keeps the country fed?

We’ve struck a deal with the QLD Government to build over 51,000 new homes, including over 20,000 exclusively for first home buyers.

@clarencebrah Hmmm I’m not sure. I understand your point and I do agree that Anglo Australians have a unique relationship to this country that can’t be understood by someone who isn’t of that heritage. I do think people can be brought into that understanding but not current levels obviously
English
@dmaccc____ I don’t necessarily disagree with too much of it, the issue is that if we have majority loyal Indians, Asians and Africans and not Anglos and then Europeans, is it really Australia as a people or just the continent of Australia?
English
I am Balkan and Med in background and I have no problem being considered “less”Australian or “not Australian and a tolerated guest” by Anglo’s if it means White people aren’t replaced in Australia. If that’s the cost to fix this mess so be it.
If the alternative is we are all Australian and Anglos, Celts and Europeans are replaced here then what’s the point. The country is fucked.
My loyalty is 100% to Australia anyway.

As by definition, no, my close friend Chock is not Australian. He’s ethnically Colombian. The kids he has with his ethnically Australian partner are half Colombian, half Australian. Is this not hard to grasp?? Him and I have spoken at length about this and to some extent he agrees. Doesn’t mean we can’t be friends over a small disagreement. Is Avi Australian? No. Is Rukshan Australian? No. You are ethnically Israeli and Indian, that’s what you are and where you originate from. Only Anglo-Celtic European and/or Indigenous Australians are ethnically Australian. This is not hard to grasp. My issue is with the immigration that has happened over the past few decades and our falling birthrate, that ethnic Australians are being replaced in their own country. For you that might not matter, but for many of us Australians it does and it’s worth fighting for. I want the majority (not all, but majority) of Australians in Australia to be Australian. Again, is this not hard to grasp? Is this extreme, Avi? And I'm sure Pauline would agree on this. Do I want my close friend Chocky deported? No. Do I even want you deported, Avi? I don't like you but No. Do I want Rukshan deported? No. What I do want is for our government to shut the gate, deport illegals and remigrate anyone who has come here over the past 5 years (as a starting point), and then start working on our birthrate so Australians maintain as a strong portion, the main ethnic race in their own country. And we need to aim for a birthrate like Israel so we don't need immigration. Right now, on our current path, Australians going to be replaced in their own country within decades, and that matters to many of us Australians. If we can't define an Australian and what that ethically looks like, then we can't defend it against the uni-party, who have, over the past 20 years decided to put dollars over its people.

Note Taylor is measuring his 70% cut against net migration in 22-23 which was a function of policy settings at the May 22 Election. He doesn’t explain what he would cut or how he would ‘cap’ net migration.

Any politician who tells you he can ‘cap’ net migration is a politician who has no idea about migration management. You can ‘target’ net migration & set policy to get close to target (eg plus or minus 10,000) but you can’t ‘cap’ it. That would be like trying to ‘cap’ inflation.

@clarencebrah Important disclaimer though. None of this is absolute and degrees of things matter and there are always exceptions to many things. But broadly speaking I value service to a collective cause over ethnic purity
English
@dmaccc____ Where we do we draw the line though? A nation is its people and you can argue am(and I agree) that Europeans are in the same fight as the Brits, but ultimately Australia is an Anglo country. If we are majority Indian but loyal, that’s no longer Australia.
English
@clarencebrah I actually think proof of loyalty and service is a much better way to ensure a population has the same general outlook and goals. Something along the lines of service guarantees citizenship, even for people born to citizens
English
@clarencebrah To me citizenship with verifiable proof of loyalty and service is enough for me, regardless of someone’s ethnic background. I think citizenship should be the ultimate test of loyalty (but granted our citizenship requirements should be much stricter)
English
@clarencebrah I respect and understand your opinion but I just simply disagree. I think broadly ethnicity is somewhat useful but individually loyalty and allegiances matter much more to me. Regardless, an interesting perspective
English
I get the argument. But on an ethnic basis, the Anglo-Celt who hates Australia is still more Australian than me which is the argument I’m trying to make here.
Loyalty is another thing and if you look at most of the replies in this thread so you can see the response is accepting/positive
The topic is ahead of its time anyway, we need to start winning first
