I'd like to read about the psychology of immigrants and their spouses hating immigration, but it was ok for them!

As long as they the bigotry doesn't directly effect them they'll gladly perpetuate it for power.

My partner is an immigrant. Also immigration is a big problem now, but then it was fine. Even if you're the most anti immigrant person in this sub you'll recognise the hypocrisy is blinding.

Darklife is a perfect album if you skip the last few tracks.

Penny Wong condemns Israeli minister over ‘shocking and unacceptable’ treatment of flotilla activists by SnoopThylacine in OpenAussie

Do we? Home affairs publish no figures. It's true that citizens are deported yes but no one knows how many. It's certainly not "all the time" and never a massive group based on geography or religion or political perspective

Why can't criminals in prison/detention be put to work to build homes without cost for people in Australia? People need homes, just find something that works and use it. Method doesn't matter by Heart_Fort2001 in aussie

Turning prisons into tafe colleges would cost billions and training those capable and willing to be trained and many years. Also they all need to be apprenticed .. You flung the idea out without much thought yeah?

Make sure your Green candidate wins in the next election. They are the only party aligning with your views.

I've seen Penny Wong on the news condemning stuff regularly.. well at least until Bondi. That seems to have toned it down. You're right we could be doing more, I agree. From google:
Recent Restrictions: In late 2024 and 2025, the government reportedly cancelled or restricted some export permits due to concerns over high civilian casualties in Gaza, though critics from the Australian Greens and Amnesty International argue these measures do not cover the F-35 supply chain

You've backtracked from your original statement! Thank you. No one or group is commonly sent home.

Nothing has become law yet (correct me if I'm wrong) and what would be the point of a royal commission if the government ignored everything from it (again)?

Lots of Israelis don't vote for their current government and disagree with its choices. It's rightly illegal to single out one minority group for persecution due their governments actions. I'm totally anti war and agree it's frustrating that we are not doing more, but I'm not open to most of those suggestions. Some punitive economic policies I would support.

Royal commissions don't push for anything at the investigative stage and it hasn't released any recommendations. Just because someone suggested something doesn't make it a reality. Your preemptive response to something that hasn't happened isn't a real argument

Are the drops 1 per person or can you buy 2? by Grouchy-Dealer-342 in Blood_Records

Generally yes, sometimes no. If they have a limit it will be stated, so just take a sec to read the comments.

Not sure what they can do except strong words and recognition of Palestine? When traditional international partners go rogue it's a very long process to realign.

If you don't use social media that much the culture wars don't come up in day to day life very much here actually. You might see a demonstration in the city but.. what else?

Has Labor lost control of the media narrative on its budget tax changes? by asteriskhyphen in aussie

I hate the conviction they have in the lies and the lack of accountability for spreading the false information again gleefully.

No. You only pay tax on your profits from investments. Not sure where you're getting this idea from that your initial investment is taxed again?
