@Kingbingo_ We also have no IQ or aptitude based criteria to gate whether someone can become an elected official.

They did it. Poland has enacted ZERO income tax for parents who have at least two children. Parents will pay no income tax on income up to around €33.000 This is being done to increase the birthrates. Very good 🇵🇱👍

This is misleading. It wasn't generic 'protestors' who clashed with police. It was the local aboriginal community who wanted to exact tribal retribution on the suspect. The police saved the suspect after he was beaten unconscious by the local aboriginals. Weird way to report the news.

@firstfusilier @AlboMP This has parallels to terrorist attacks in Europe. I'd like more details about the motive and suspect's background but I'm not confident the media or police will disclose them.

@firstfusilier @AlboMP Its no coincidence that 7 and 9 and probably the others are focusing solely on what they call a legal loophole. That is NOT the story here! SFB did not commit the crime because he was aware of a legal loophole. Nor will closing that hole prevent a reoccurrence.

An aptitude test that measures intelligence and other qualities - negative signals such as machiavellianism, and psychopathy, and positive signals such as altruism and honesty. Also, their financials should be public and open source. And they should be held to performance standards similar to CEOs, and get genuinely life-changing bonuses if they deliver meaningful benefits for the public. We'd get vastly different outcomes in a paradigm such as this.

Why did Mehreen Faruqi vote NO to investigate NDIS fraud? It should be a simple question to answer. New NDIS investigation coming out next month. So much to expose.

IMO, housing is the most urgent economic priority facing Australia because it's directly linked to birth rates and we want young Australians to start having kids asap. Government regulation is the single biggest blocker for meaningful supply-side fixes. Tinkering with existing policies like CGT will have basically no impact. Don't be fooled by the 'intergenerational inequality' framing of the current CGT proposal - it's just political spin to disguise inaction.
Shane Oliver@ShaneOliverAMP

Aust Govt is right to address intergen equity. The top 3 ways to do this though are: 1/ cut gov spending & deregulate to take pressure off inflation 2/ raise the GST & slash income tax 3/ get the housing balance right - lower immigration and make it easier to supply more homes

@dinlare Bizarre framing there. That's not evidence of the government acting in the public interest. It's a signal of failed bureaucracy, which is basically the opposite.

@jameswhmarshall Do you think it's in the public interest to waste time and money on Hanson's proposed inquiry when an inquiry into NDIS fraud already exists, and existed before her proposal? aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_… Pete likes to leave that part out to rage bait people like you for engagement.

>Islamic extremism takes root in Australia >Jews get killed >NSW rushes to change gun and hate speech laws >PM orders Royal Commission >Royal Commission finds legal and regulatory frameworks did not hinder police prevention or response (whatever that means) >But how did Islamic extremism take root? >Royal Commission recommends no urgent changes >So why did NSW rush to change gun and hate speech laws? >Royal Commission recommends increased police presence at Jewish events >But the Commission already said there were no problems? >Just another day with people in charge who will do and say whatever they want to prevent scrutiny, and who refuse to act in the interests of the public if they think it will affect their ability to remain in power.
Ryan Dally@Ryandally08

Anthony Albanese gushes that The Royal Commission into the Bondi terror attack found that “no urgent changes are required” The RC did recommend 14 changes, none of which focused on immigration reform. They recommended “tighter gun laws” It’s not the guns, it’s the imports.

The 'your country has no culture' argument is one of the most ridiculous I've heard recently. It seems to be used by leftists right across the west. If we take culture to mean 'whole way of life', it is false at face value to say that any country doesn't have a culture. Another progressive argument built on lies.

New images have been released by federal prosecutors showing the arsenal that Cole Allen had before attempting to ass*ssinate President Trump. He even took pictures of himself decked out in the weaponry.

"There seems to be six levels to the DMT experience — each with their own characteristic mathematical properties." "On DMT, you go from a three-fold rotation, to a four-fold, to a six-fold rotation. The symmetries become more packed as the dose increases." "Pleasure has a mathematical shape. We are essentially making the bet that there's a very, very tight correlation between the symmetry of this mathematical object and how good or bad an experience feels." One of my favourite episodes I've ever done with Giant @algekalipso. Check it out, you won't regret it 🙏

I'm well aware of that. If your argument is 'it's okay because she's not in a different position', this is not a strong argument. The fact is, this person is the head of an agency that is vital to the national interest. People should be able to question her credentials and why she was hired.

@jameswhmarshall @AICyberHome @johnkonrad She’s just a civil servant. She doesn’t run the Defence Force - the post saw the word “Secretary” and assumes she’s the same as the US Secretary of Defence. Your own Defence Department is full of such people too.

Topher Field@TopherField·
Imagine thinking it's 'extreme' to oppose division? Imagine thinking it's a great move to change our anthem to say 'one' instead of 'young', and then to immediately turn the 'one' into a lie by dividing Australians by race and ancestry? Imagine believing that it's more important to 'pay respects' to the culture that got here first and subsisted on the land, rather than to the one that turned this continent into one of the most prosperous and free in all of human history (although both the prosperity and the freedom are now under threat, that doesn't invalidate the fact that it was the arrival of western culture that brought both) Imagine being so tone-deaf that you can't understand why a growing number of ordinary, salt-of-the-earth, Australians from all backgrounds and walks of life are sick of the politics of division and want us to stop obsessing over race. Imagine thinking that calling this large and growing cohort 'far right' is going to help your cause, rather than hurt it? You don't have to imagine, it's all on full display right here:
Ash@AshPolitik

The far right and many of extreme conservatives in Australia would rather sing Star Spangled Banner, and God Save the King, Then pay respect to the most Australian cultural ceremony of 'welcome to country'. Just think about that for a moment.

@johnkonrad We have a Minister for Defence who hasn’t changed and she is the civil servant who administers it. We also have a head of the Australian Defence Force. The rest of the world don’t have the model as the US. So this comment is pretty stupid really. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_M…
