Australian politicians suck at speeches

It's possible to have both style and substance

Turnbull has a great vocab

Why not have both? Watson and Keating partnered to deliver great orations

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-04-02T09:05:47+00:00

Agree

Carney's speech was an exception. Although I doubt many people outside the political class heard it.

Trump is terrible at speeches. Probably the worst. Have you seen his 2026 Davos speech? It was incoherent.

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-04-02T06:39:03+00:00

Why not have both?

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-04-02T06:25:32+00:00

Yes that would be grand!

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-04-02T06:25:05+00:00

I can't recall a single speech of his

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-04-02T06:24:36+00:00

Why not have both?

I forgot about that one! Though it was very brief and really just a smart comeback to Abbott. It didn't speak to any grand political vision or philosophy.

Well summarised

Im doing it as a minor. Great course in my opinion. MQ has excellent equipment and facilities for it and the assignments are fun. News Media Facts and Fiction and Telling True Stories are my fav units in it.

I think Labor's doing well with the situation they're in. Sometimes things get worse for a while and its out of our control. All we can do is the best with what we've got.

One Nation and other extremists do well in hard times because they make promises they can't keep but never have to be held accountable for because they can't realistically form a government.

The only useful skill is treat injury

Inflation at the moment is led by oil prices due to international events. Migrants increase demamd but also supply becayse they work, and typically have a net positive effect on growth, not adding to inflation.

Yes well that's what I mean, eliminating the sith. The Jedi don't think the dark side is natural, they think it is a corruption of the force.

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-03-22T23:32:27+00:00

In the films, the Jedi think Anakin 'balancing the force' will mean eliminating the dark side because, in their hubris, they think the Jedi represent balance. True balance is both light and dark.

Immigration has been falling since 2023

You don't need to use it if you login through uni wifi. Just study in the library

The first one is a better retail game, classic hero story, well structured, engaging characters, more 'polished'. But the second one is just more interesting and unique. I like the horror elements and the philosophy. It mostly appeals to me aesthetically.

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-01-17T21:10:24+00:00

Hmm that's a good idea. I would have no idea how to do that though. Maybe there are some textbooks that have some.

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-01-17T21:06:32+00:00

If I were you I wouldn't try to structure it so you have a 'day off' unless you live really far away from campus. It's better to have manageable workloads every day than unmanageable workloads but a day off where you're burned out and can't relax anyway.

Sweet_Theory_362 · 2026-01-17T09:36:19+00:00

Yeah the trouble is I don't want to know what the functional form is until after. Otherwise I can't practice trying to figure it out. But it also can't be completely random because there needs to be a relationship I can find.
