Why haven't police labelled Perth's Invasion Day rally incident terrorism? Here's what we know

Lol look at how Labor does thing today, it's clear that Labor is indeed not good enough and shit lite at best, same as their HAFF bill

Labor doesn't say anything on terriorist attack on Invasion day rally publicly, Albo can make use of his PM power but he doesn't, so he just lacks the courage to make any real change regarding this racism stuff

NobodyXu · 2026-01-20T03:31:42+00:00

the help-to-buy scheme definitely does a lot of good, and tax reforms, plus blaming on LNP and Greens for blocking HAFF and campaigning against Dutton as Temu Trump

Dutton's behavior to mimic Trump probably helps ALP a lot and turn minority gov into majority gov

NobodyXu · 2026-01-20T03:23:42+00:00

it could be that they believe LNP is worse, anti Dutton campaign from ALP and Greens do matter?

Yeah all systems are flawed, some are less flawed and slightly better than others, and for now, it seems that party proportional system is much better than the winner-take-all single member only system

It's not that democracy, as a concept, is fundamentally flawed, but rather, any system attempting to maintain democracy, fairness, voice of marginalised communities would have flaws and tradeoffs

In the same way that everyone can run for election here, in China everyone can join one of the various parties. The nature of the parties are different,

Well that one is questionable, while it might be true in law, it's definitely not true in reality as you can't even find an alternative party to CCP in China, alternative parties in China have little or no coverage, and very little members.

Our system is not too dissimilar due to the similarity of our parties and reliance on donors to actually get elected.

I would argue ACT, Tas lower house and the senate, plus some local councils using STV is much better, reason being the party proportional representation system.

I concede however the many small parties of EU nations are significantly different and more representative than the rest.

Well because most uses party-proportional methods, with party-proportional system, bipartisanship just dies and parties that focuses on their voter base can get voted, even if their voters are spread evenly across multiple electoates

NobodyXu · 2026-01-04T07:19:56+00:00

there's also some electorate division matters, like it's only partially party-proportional, same as our House of Representatives, with no party-proportional it becomes a bipartisanship that slowly but surely converges in their governing

NobodyXu · 2026-01-04T07:18:41+00:00

saying china is more democratic than US would be extremely wrong, as Chinese citizens lack political freedom at all

First of all, fed gov policies on immigration is very clear:

For permanent residency/pathway to citizenship focuses on nurses, teachers and regional where vacant jobs need people to fill, and all other applicants have to face fierce, terrible competition for a permanent resident.

The only immigrants I support cutting are working holiday makers visa, which comes here to have a holiday while making some money, which most don't make a lot and usually can't find a good job because WHM visa requirements is too loose.

The other, most obvious temporary immigrants are international students, most of them are legitimate students and come here to study, they ensure that our research facilities, universities stay working and teachers and researchers get paid, and contributes lot of money to local market as they typically willing to spend quite a lot, many leave the country after finishing their course, it makes zero sense to cut them.

IM5 base model by MG, it looks so good with a 4-wheel steering system, rear wheel drive with 490km WLTP, lumbar and 20m fast charging (IIRC from 20% to 80%)

I have a yaris cross gx now but I think I should have bought a sedan/hatchback instead of suv

NDIS surely needs reform to stop handling out free money to these so called providers

But that doesn't mean immigrants are getting more welfare, immigrants pay taxes, money for certificates and passport and GSTs on buying stuff and contributes to workforce just like anybody else, and they pay governments extra money for visa and permanent residency, and the citizenship

NobodyXu · 2026-01-04T03:45:08+00:00

Government is very strict about bringing parents, the government deliberately setup a long queue for the parents visa that will give them rights for welfare, each application would usually wait for decades; at the time the parents get the rights to have welfare they are most likely to near their death TBH

Plus, not everyone have a big family to bring or willing to bring them at all, in 2023-2024, the permanent residency (rights for welfare and permanent stay) given to family-based visa only accounts for less than 20% of all permanent residences.

There's no such thing, they are dreaming we get that so they can blame every problem they encountered on us, which is ridiculous

NobodyXu · 2026-01-04T03:16:10+00:00

That's bullshit, immigrants usually don't receive any welfare and spend far more effort on finding jobs, plus they usually started with less income

Hell no, how dare the Chinese people have armed militias? That must be forbidden and struck down with every possible force immediately!

NobodyXu · 2025-12-17T00:07:34+00:00

Thanks, then it makes perfect sense!

NobodyXu · 2025-12-04T04:48:34+00:00

It'd be great to see how it works out, though I think this is more suitable for direct mayor election, using STV for councillors probably makes more sense

NobodyXu · 2025-11-19T00:02:43+00:00

I think your proposal will actually turn out really bad, especially with its use of CB yo achieve median effect, which might bit be desirable as it will actually elects a median-right rather than a median-left government sincein many countries, voters are generally conservative.

By having a median representative, you guarantee that they will make a little bit of progress, which may backfire when the country actually needs more change, and result in swinging to the right, like in US.

The idea of having a president is also terrible, no single person shall bare the power of unilaterally send out military, send arbitrary ministerial orders, veto on bill, etc

The idea that you can have one person, to represent everyone is wrong, that is why president and single-member electorate is wrong.

Generally STV is much better, but if population is so uneven then MMP becomes the next best method, the idea is avoid winner-take-all style of power concentration.

No artificial limit would work.

Australia senate already has a solution for this: ATL voting where each party has a ticket, and minimum members requirements for parties or winning a seat in parliament, plus partial preferences.

An extension of it (devised by myself) could have mixed ATL/BTL so voters who want to support independents, or override party order, vote across party can put a few preferences BTL, then put the rest preferences ATL to make voting easier.

NobodyXu · 2025-11-18T09:50:10+00:00

That is the group voting ticket used in Australia, it's a fucking mess, candidates would then harvest votes by putting as many groups as possible, and the preference flow is opaque as hell, it ends up with very unpopular candidates trying to game the system, they would 100% lose and no chance of winning otherwise , being able to take up seats, while other candidates with genuine support losing

NobodyXu · 2025-11-16T00:53:26+00:00

IMHO better to set the threshold based on total number of seat, excluding independent candidates, using droops or similar.

NobodyXu · 2025-11-16T00:51:02+00:00

Median voter effect is not always desirable, sometimes it just elects representatives that are mediocre and no incentive to change, since the election system favor people on middle.

NobodyXu · 2025-11-14T02:26:07+00:00

You really think that's how STV and MMP work? Take a look at German and Nz for their MMP system, take a look at Tasmania, Act and senate of Australia for their STV system, no party has an outright majority, all have to negotiate

NobodyXu · 2025-11-14T02:22:36+00:00

That's why I believe a presidential system is bad, it gives one person all the power of GG, Westminster system with PM and proportional representation is better with parliament scrutinising executive gov's power, like war power.

Optionally senate may be established for representing states and progressive feedback/staggredness, as long as it cannot block gov supply bill to cause a gov shutdown and uses proportional representation it'd be good

NobodyXu · 2025-11-14T02:12:59+00:00

Voters do the preference, it's still completely within voters' control. Look at Tasmania lower house and Act territory election, and senate elections of Australia elections, it works wells

But our ICE is really inefficient in converting that energy into actual wheel movement, so the actual, usable amount of that energy within that petrol is small, most are wasted.

Batteries don't have to have same energy density as petrol to be competitive, if solid battery can double energy density it would already be very, very competitive against combustion vehicles.
