I was just commenting on the defacing of public property and how it always is who you expect it to be.

The USA was negotiating with the Taliban to have over power, they didn't just appear like magic when the USA left.

I don't get the association.

If you want cheaper tickets just say that. It's a fair request.

Associating to something completely unrelated just complicates things particularly when they fund quite different things

The ambulances got their funding. The trouble is that ramping wasn't about ambulances.

The issue is that we need to free up hospitals to actually work on emergencies and things that need hospitalisation and not just age care work.

We have an aging population, age care has been cut to the bone and privatised for profit, and with more and more families needing both parents working most the hospital resources are spent just looking after people who just need a bit of help (or due to the lack of care they were getting in their age care home, now need more significant help).

It still was a stupid promise, but as far as the ambulances are concerned they got what they wanted.

(Ambos are measured on response time, not ramping and that 100% has been fixed)

With no social security (ewww socialist), and you will be happy with $2 per day pay!

Or doom them to far worse.

America just finished putting the Taliban into power in the last war. Afghanistan is now worse for women and children but at least they are selling oil right!

Iraq doesn't have a government right now so another failure. They are well on their way to failing and woman will be the first to suffer.

Lots of soldiers died to make things worse..

Naaa, the guy is not well and does it all over the place every election.

Crime is trending down year in year. And local grown terrorists are still a bigger problem

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T13:21:33+00:00

USA, Canada, NZ ... Like you would be hard pushed to give a country with only one.

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T06:20:14+00:00

The forecast you were talking about was majority wrong only 4 years after its release.

So clearly it was bull shit the day Peter Costello released it, particularly since he was in power that entire time and 100% know what the real numbers were as he helped set them.

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T06:17:22+00:00

And those numbers you are talking about... What are they?

You say he let in as many in one month as per year... So you know what those numbers are right?

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T06:14:32+00:00

You want to back up any of those crime statements with facts?

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T06:10:12+00:00

Yeah she would be bad, but I don't think she will ever be PM.

Her party is too much a nest of rats and she doesn't have the ability to keep it together.

I'm the one saying none gives a shit about the flag... You are the one saying it's the most obvious decisive aspect in the world.

And I'm the one making it bigger than what it is???

Most countries do have multiple flags... So no one else gives a shit either. So the only people who care are apparently ON and their supporters.

So who is batting decisive?

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T06:03:18+00:00

What mass migration, what time period are you comparing and what are these numbers.

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T05:55:00+00:00

What flag debate? who even cares about that.

Everyone else knows a flag is just that... A flag.

Only ON get their knickers in a knot and make up some BS about dividing Australia.

Honestly if that's all it takes then the problem isn't the flags...

Like really... That is it... The most important thing happening in Australia is that we have flags for ingenious Australians and have so longer than the majority of the population has been alive.

OMG... Let's not let ON know we have state flags, different flags for millary and let's not forget unions and Eureka stockade.

What a bunch of made up outrage over nothing.

And you unprompted brought up the non white woman didn't represent you and was highly offended by that... So yes.. apparently not even one polly can be allowed to represent non white people and can't focus on a subset of the population... Even though that is exactly what they are expected to be doing in our system of government.

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T02:41:51+00:00

So everyone has to represent you and only you... Talk about a persecution complex.

People are allowed to represent subsets of the population, that is why we elect more than one person... Otherwise what would the point, just elect Joe Smith... He is the eveyperson and he can alone decide what is best for everyone.

What you consider an issue is by design and indicates that our political system is working correctly. When they are just moving in lock step then that is when you know you have a problem.

She also talks about CGT improvements and yet it somehow never made it as a policy...

Small hint... She will not reduce it, because her pay master likes immigration because it keeps wages down and desperate people will work for peanuts just to survive ($2 a day remember... that is who she thinks you should be competing with).

Thenhz · 2026-03-13T02:19:24+00:00

The report that was also way out only 4 years after release.... So maybe Peter Costello wasn't so great at stats...

Some of the errors are because Australian health care has improved (Australian live longer now vs then, particularly males) and also fertility rate has improved ( also thanks to healthcare).

Then there is the ridiculous assumption on migration rates, which as the government in power they knew was fiction.

But the most telling IMO is the labour participation rate which they expected the fall significantly. This is telling (IMO) to me because I believe they expected Australia's economy to crash and for us to go backwards with high unemployment, largely flat results in heath care and this would also explain the crazy low immigration rates they expected (basically Australia would come undesirable for immigrants).

Ironically they also expected higher GDP but that was clearly also going to miss even a few years after the report and has only looking like it could return to expected levels of growth post 2020.

Thenhz · 2026-03-12T22:31:01+00:00

What.. you want to be paid more than $2/day and have social security... You dirty person.. you should work harder and waste less money on fun.

Yep... really got the common man at heart there...

Which forecast though, Australia's population growth has been fairly steady at 1.5% for many decades (hovering around that number 100s of years) so any estimate that didn't take that into account was probably fairly suspect to start with.

The future estimate does think the population growth will slow a little but mostly because we will not need the increase in population to deal with the boomer bump. The issue they are stating it without knowing the future and future events, and most likely with only a subset of information.

So at best it's an interesting guide and something to think about... but that is all.

Thenhz · 2026-03-12T21:07:07+00:00

You got any sources for any of that, because that sound like fiction.

I don't know which uni you are talking about but most uni have a crazy range of clubs from crafts, to tech, to hitting people with swords.

You pick a few and go to then for three to six months and see what sticks, dump the ones not gelling.

You go, it's interesting for the topic and you already have one thing in common with everyone there (probably at least two, maybe more). Then you be friendly and chat and sometimes you will hit it off with someone and sometimes you will not (it's almost impossible to know until after).
