@NationalFarmers Did ol' One Watt provide any insights other than dribbling all over the table?
English
The ongoing war in the Middle East has caused uncertainty to fuel, fertiliser, and now plastic prices. We recently attended a roundtable with the Ag Minister Julie Collins, Environment Minister Murray Watt, and Industry Minister Tim Ayres to discuss the challenges.
English
You sound like Tim. "Our dams will never fill again".
If the planet heats up 1° and the oceans "boil" humidity would climb about 7% bringing more rain.
All you have to do is look at the satellite images of the increased greeting happening across multiple areas of the planet.
We also know a lot more about desertification than we used to and in Asia and Africa, efforts to reverse it are working extremely well.
English
@theOGTaipan @PaulineHansonOz Did you notice the limiting factor - water. Water security in future is going to be a huge problem, it already is in some places of the world. No water, no food.
English
I want to thank NSW Labor Premier Chris Minns for acknowledging One Nation’s consistency and honesty on energy policy.
End net-zero, stop renewables over prime farmland, build coal fired power stations and lift the ban on nuclear!
English
@uplatewithjase @HarryFromSyd @TheKouk Sure. I'm going to publish my kids reports to a halfwit online.
Like that's ever going to happen.
You don't have to believe me. Just ring any school and ask them directly.
I'm guessing that's too much work for you though.
English
@theOGTaipan @HarryFromSyd @TheKouk Show us the reports?
Anyone notice on this thread that every conservative has an opinion but no data to back it up?
It’s like the right wing on politics is based on opinion and not fact.
Evidence is key.
English
Some frenzied feedback on the below: The cookers hate facts - but here are a few:
1990:
60% of the population finished year 12 - now 80%+;
8% of the population had a uni degree - now 34%
Female participation rate 52% - now 63%
Inflation was 6.5% - now 4.1%
Cash rate was 17% - now 4.35%
Life expectancy was 76 years - now 85 years
To name a few ...
Is 2026 better than 1990?
Of course it is.
Stephen Koukoulas@TheKouk
1990: Poor levels of education, low female workforce participation, high inflation, high unemployment, high interest rates, low life expectancy, company tax rate 39%, top income tax scale of 47% came in at $50,000pa ... And the home ownership rate was only 1 ppt above where it is now. But those were the good old days.
English
@AlboMP @Steveatqut This is nothing but a cash grab to prop up a bloated budget and will do nothing to help housing supply.
But Liebor hates aspiration, reward for effort and most of all success.
English
We're bringing the dream of home ownership back in reach for young Australians.
And it's why we're changing property investor tax breaks to give first home buyers a fair go.
English
Socialism at scale never works. Every one that's tried has failed. Some with catastrophic consequences. Wealth can only be "redistributed" after someone creates it. Take away aspiration, murder merit, demonise incentive and it's the middle class and the poor that end up paying the price. You are condemning those you claim to champion.
Sweden
Poland
China
Russia
Cambodia
Venezuela
Argentina
Ethiopia
Cuba
They all failed.

@AshPolitik Liebor always runs the best scare campaigns.
English
Sometimes I think, Australia doesn't deserve change.
The cohort of people that are easily duped via scare campaigns and disinformation is astonishing.
The same whingers who say the government does nothing.
From Gillard years, 2019 election, The Voice, now the 2026 budget.
You all revert to primitive minded dark ages rather quickly.
English
@uplatewithjase @HarryFromSyd @TheKouk Bullshit. Not at my son's school. A public high school in Queensland.
The proof is in the reports from and conversations with the school after querying it in the first place and having it confirmed.
English
Any data to back that up? I’d like to see it. Because all I can find as an overview is the following.
Grade C at least 60% to 69% based on both attendance and examination.
General School Grading Scale
Most Australian schools use an A–E grading system: [1]
•A (Excellent): 80–100%
•B (Good): 70–79%
•C (Satisfactory): 60–69%
•D (Limited): 50–59%
•E (Very Low/Fail): Below 50%

Modern progressivism is two centuries old and has mutated many times.
It began as economic theory under Marx.
Became elite-led revolution under Lenin.
Turned cultural under the Frankfurt School
The personal became political under the postmodernists.

Aussie farmers have had enough — and now they’re fighting back. Imagine strangers turning up and telling you they’ll rip through YOUR land with 80m towers and transmission lines. The land you work and call home. We went to Gundy to give these Aussies a voice. Karl Weekly, 5pm.
English
How about the fact that a 'C' used to require 65% or more correct answers on an exam whereas today, that same grade is achievable with less than 50%?
How about the fact that tertiary educators are required to do pass failing students to "keep up the numbers"?
Quality has plummeted.
English
Harry, when you make a statement you gotta back it up with evidence.
This is where the once strong conservative side fails miserably today. Opinion has become facts, without evidence and people are walking away.
Conservatives now believe fiction so they can hang on to their past.
I’m happy to look at figures. Just show me data.
English
Where do you get these "facts"?
In 1990 year 12 retention was @ 71%. In those days the rest were off learning trades instead of continuing onto useless University degrees and the socialist programming that seems to have taken firm hold at most of today's campuses.

Building more homes across the country. Making the tax system fairer. And 5% deposits for first home buyers.
We're throwing everything we can at housing.
English
@adampartington1 @OnenewsAus Depends how the preferences flow and if they can work together.
English
Wrong and misleading. Typical of the Liebor Party.
Supply is and has been the problem and nothing has been done for decades. Mainly because most of the responsibilty has lain with local councils and state governments who constantly increase the costs and regulation to justify their own existence while pushing the creation of the underlying infrastructure onto builders and developers. Your tax will do nothing to help supply in fact your own budget papers show a reduction in supply as a direct result.
You're still propping up the Ponzi.
English
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.

@S_GerardRennick Putting her money where her mouth is.

Gina Rinehart is Australia's richest person and the executive chair of Hancock Prospecting, with a long public profile in mining, agriculture, and political commentary.

@PaulineHansonOz Do you not realise that the global food system is under threat because of climate change? Farmland will be irrelevant because we won’t be able to GROW ANYTHING if we don’t do SOMETHING! Renewables are the immediate answer. Nuclear and fossil fuels are not.
English
@TheKouk @Goalkickingguru Oh and 4x earnings versus today's 10x earnings is nothing to sneeze at either.
English

One income. One home. Four kids. Annual holidays. Change left over. That was Australia in 1990. Today two incomes can’t even cover the rent. Same country. Something went very wrong
English
@adampartington1 @OnenewsAus You might find they contest in more places next time round.
English
@OnenewsAus In reality one nation won't even get close to that cos they only contest 25ish seats. A lot of those people that picked ON in this pole won't have their option when going to the polls
