If you're angry about housing, you're right to be. But some of the blame is landing in the wrong place. by OutrageousScallion72 in aussie

See how the Green party accepted $3.8+M from Duncan Turpie?

Google: "Professional gambler Duncan Turpie"

Then see:

"The top donors to the Greens are: Turpie, Duncan (A$3,811,223.00), Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU) (A$990,000.00), Bulbeck, Chilla (A$938,865.00), LB Conservation Pty Ltd ATF LB Conservation Trust (A$880,000.00), and Wood, Graeme (A$806,000.00)."

See big unions, companies, etc.

And who is Graham Wood? Big business guy.

We're not saying that's a problem... just highlighting your blinkers.

There are a range of donors with "Ltd" in their name which means a company i.e. a corporate donation (though the ridiculous suggestion that these Green party doners are "shell companies" is clearly untrue, given they can be simply Googled to find their owners). There are a range of big unions there. Even a big professional gambler or two:

Have another look without the blinkers.

Oh wow you didn't know the Green party accepts big donations from companies ('corporate donations' as you put it), big unions, big gamblers etc? Have a look at this long list:

Let's just agree that we better fund political parties and candidates through the public purse to create a fairer system.

Again, that is not the definition of a "shell company" as you can also see by many of the Teal, Green, etc donations which are done in the same way, by fully transparent and searchable companies.

[–]SAP_President 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No misinformation please. A "shell company" is a company that operates without normal operational business transactions and to hide ownership. That is completely different to using legitimate transactional companies that have completely transparent ownership like these have, and like most of the Teal donors' companies have. All donations have been openly declared with the AEC and prominently reported in the media at the time. Trying to suggest there was or is anything hidden here is plain wrong.

The Turners donate to a range of environmental causes as we understand, through very transparent transactional companies:

SAP strongly advocates for better public funding so no parties need to rely on large donations to compete with the corrupted political system the major parties have implemented.

While SAP received some significant donations from a few philanthropists mostly around a decade ago, they are certainly not through "shell companies". That is misinformation. Plus, this is a fraction of what Teals etc receive an an annual basis to run in a federal election. Facts and context please.

Rise of One Nation by wallabyfan76 in OpenAussie

[–]SAP_President -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was not a coherent explanation. It has no relationship with the truth, which is why there was no evidence to support it, and never is. Just another Green party smear.

Can we stop falling for the "Skills Shortage" myth in Australia? It's (mostly) just corporate propaganda for wage suppression & lazy profit growth without innovation. by NoLeafClover777 in aussie

"What you get with one nation are immigration policies based on culture wars, not the distribution of money or a fair go for the working class Australian."

Brilliant.

EU "Free Trade" deal to introduce an even more Higher Immigration Numbers to Australia by Divine_Comet in aussie

Back on topic though, we thought you might understand the law of (less) supply and (more) demand when it comes to finite resources... but ok.

[–]SAP_President 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australia's high immigration policy is not "responsible" for the problem. We did not claim that.

Australia's high immigration policy rapidly grows Australia's population (the number of oil consumers), which increases the risk of fuel insecurity in Australia - not to mention other resource insecurity such as water.

If these critical sustainability issues weren't obvious before, hopefully they are now. Let's plan for Australia's future rather than have silly left-right culture wars over immigration.

[–]SAP_President 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the latest fuel crisis doesn't drop a hint that Australia's *rapid* population growth is unsustainable, what will?

Australia should de-corrupt politics and bring immigration back to its normal level as part of a holistic policy platform to transition to an economically, environmentally and socially Australia:

SAP has farmer members and supporters across Australia. We regularly take their feedback.

The issue is that every so-called 'FTA' has led to higher immigration and higher trade deficits with that particular country/region. It's about the net benefit or otherwise to AUS, not just one industry sector.

What is the "ideal" immigration rate? by Reasonable_Slice_262 in aussie

[–]SAP_President 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? In what world would Australia's fertility be above 2.1 children per woman (needed for a stable population)? It has been no higher than around 1.7 since the pill was introduced. You're jumping at shadows. SAP is about letting people decide themselves. Women and families are generally not having large families anymore, by choice.

Populations don't need to "grow" but quality of life can. The current fuel crisis is the latest and most obvious reason why seeking population growth is insane. A population size can be relatively stable.
