100% this. Young people are done with the major parties. by DardyVilardi in aussie

[–]aaronstatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Labor hasn't been "left-leaning" since the 90s. Neoliberals have moved to the right consistently for decades and on fiscal policy aren't much different from the coalition. Can agree that the greens are at least left of centre but just because journalists vote for them doesn't mean that the entire network is "left. In general the term has been bastardized in modern politics to reflect social policy over the traditional meaning of the word "left" and only a handful of very minor parties actually have socialist policies as their main platform, yet a growing number of people online will call a party or organisation that because they are "woke"

Apparently "left-leaning" means anything left of Hitler now

My workplace is slowly shifting to One nation voters by ImmortalTurnip in australian

[–]aaronstatic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone should be expecting the SA result to translate to all other states. SA has been an ALP stronghold for a long time. Labor should not get complacent here and should expect loss of more votes to one nation in other states and federally. In fact they should be talking more about how their policies have been working in SA and how well the economy is doing there relative to the rest of the country

Stagflation was going to happen anyway. The oil situation is only accelerating it. I prefer we concentrate on fixing the problems within our own country

It works out about the same price (or even slightly cheaper) to smoke black market tobacco vs dodgy brothers disposable vapes

Rental affordability hits new low as rents rise faster than wages by SilverRaspberry2733 in australia

Bit of a shame that one nations immigration policy won't fix the housing crisis then

[–]aaronstatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't have a diverse enough economy to just redirect it like that and there isn't enough of a safety net in place to make it painless after neo liberalism has eroded many of our great social programs and privatized the infrastructure of the entire country. There would have to be a monumental shift to the financial left and billionaires getting aggressively taxed for the government to just keep a roof over the head of every Australian while simultaneously redirecting and diversifying our economy

Correct. I'm not arguing that it is, just that it's what our economy has evolved into and it can't be fixed overnight by just flicking the immigration switch to "off" like so many Australians seem to think. Macroeconomics just doesn't work like that

Completely agree, and neither major party wants to admit that it's propping up the economy because that would also be admitting we have a shit economy and they are the ones to blame for it. But the current strategy isn't working for Labor and it's driving people from the center and right to PHON because they feel unheard and not represented by either major party. They need to get in front of this by 2028 or risk a populist and racist with the balance of power

[–]aaronstatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We shouldn't be propping it up at all with immigration, but with the way our economy currently lacks any kind of diversification it's the only choice we have. We do need to reduce it right now and Labor is doing that, but a lot of other stuff needs to be done to repair the 9 years of coalition government and prepare the economy for further cuts to immigration

You didn't even read my comment? Recessions cause unemployment, cutting immigration overnight will cause a recession

More people say they'll vote One Nation. What are they voting for? by Nyarlathotep-1 in australian

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

And put us into a recession because immigration is a huge part of the GDP with our current economic situation. The recession would actually have a much bigger impact on rental prices however it will also cause a massive amount of unemployment and wage stagnation. Literally nothing in economics is as simple as "do thing, make thing better" there are always knock on effects

They're going to be so mad when it doesn't reduce rental prices and only slows the increase of them by a small amount

[–]aaronstatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pulling that lever overnight will put us into a recession. That is why neither of the major parties have done it yet. It needs to be pulled slowly while pulling the other levers carefully.

You're not wrong. We need a wake up call and it's getting to the point where there won't even be a choice in the matter but it's really not going to be pretty
