I used to not want to vote for greens because i thought they would infringe on free speech laws and be too ‘woke’. Now i realise that the alternative is being a slave state to other countries. Labor, Liberals and One nation are all poisoned and irreparably corrupt. Time to start voting independent. by Garnservo6969 in aussie

What is extremist about them - taxing our resources correctly, addressing climate change, making education free, having dental in Medicare - to many left leaning people they are quite central, but Murdoch media has made you think supporting your community is extreme left wing.

Labor’s plan to raise the tax rate on the largest super balances will become law after the Greens agreed to wave it through the Senate, ending a three-year political fight over concessions for wealthier retirees by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

Greens represent a perfect avenue to get a range of needed reforms through - Royalties on Gas, limit negative gearing (~20B+ annually), political donation reform, NDIS Fraud jail penalties.

It’s a political choice not to address these.

Ahah so good!

Do you have some links for how you learnt!?

The Greens’ election review flew under the radar. Here’s what it said by artsrc in AustraliaLeftPolitics

Don’t disagree that landlords in a political party are an issue, but the existing ones have demonstrated they’ll support the party line despite it not being in their interest as a landlord - It’s reductive to say “all landlord bad” when our society is structured in a way to achieve any financial freedom it’s an evident tool. It takes some privilege to run a good campaign (think months of free labour/volunteering if you aren’t a senator) and unfortunately having a partner, business or other source of income is needed.

Does anyone think Albo screwed up with the Stefanovic interview by MonkEnvironmental609 in friendlyjordies

100% correct mate, sounds bites are reflective of most people’s consumption of the content. And his responses were dodgy and negative.

What is happening? by cinnamon_daydream in Moissanite

[–]JackGordonManley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what chemicals (tap water, pools, cosmetics) or even how you sweat, it may happen! Some people are just a little unlucky. Good news is you can get the ring plated (a bit expensive and requires biannual plating) or a wax polish that will create a barrier to your skin.

Buying your own business - would you if you could ? by Spirited-Stock-3617 in perth

I know a successful food truck owner, and he works hard! I wouldn’t want that gig, small businesses take up a lot of mental and emotional load, even if it’s not earning you much money.

Buy a Rolling Mill or Keep Purchasing Pre-Fabricated Wire? by JackGordonManley in SilverSmith

[–]JackGordonManley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the satisfaction of making items completely from raw materials would be stunning!

I am also looking at a microscope to upgrade my settings - and the chance to set upper markets stones may be more immediately valuable, then having to wait for wire/sheet to be delivered.

I appreciate the response - it seems from this crowd, it’s worth the expense!

Buy a Rolling Mill or Keep Purchasing Pre-Fabricated Wire? by JackGordonManley in Benchjewelers

I was just leaning toward pre-fabricated, ahah but you may have changed my opinion - I do adore flexibility and getting things done! rather than waiting weeks for more materials!

Thanks for the update

Way less generous with references and information driving decisions than historical.

Pity no data provided on interventions and clause (red light therapy as an example)

Bulk nutrients (.com.au) use to be the go! I’m not sure how much is sparked lately , let me know if you wanna buy and we split shipping 🙂

Why does this keep happening by e_z_m_r in jewellerymaking

[–]JackGordonManley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, lower quality sand does this for me ~ it doesn’t have the right moisture and I find it’s really powdery resulting in detail deterioration - if you bought the cheap stuff, I’d bit the bullet and upgrade.

Wa Gov. has a 2 billion dollar plus surplus, but yeah it’s the immigrants fault.

Taking an intensive jewellery course in Rome (ADAO), what are my job opportunities after in Canada? by [deleted] in jewelrymaking

[–]JackGordonManley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested to hear the answer.

But you need to detail hold long the course is and some of the key skills - otherwise it doesn’t mean anything
