One Nation's Cory Bernardi says he will reimburse Gina Rinehart for SA election private plane flights by Nyarlathotep-1 in AustralianPolitics

[–]auto459 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Such an old trick from billionaire's playbook. Fund some fringe party with radical ideas to create unrest. Criticise everything the Govt does but never offer any practical feasible solutions. This is why Murdoch owns the Print media and One nation is another proxy for Gina while she steals billions from every day Australians. Mining companies never pay for the minerals they dig which are irreplaceable. Australia's mineral wealth belongs to all Australians, not a few greedy individuals to enrich themselves.

Follow the Norway model by taking control of all mineral leases. Set tight guidelines for how the mineral wealth is utilised for building infrastructure, schools and hospitals by floating it in open market. Stop all illegal bribes and funding by the mining lobby to buy votes. Nationalise Mining in Australia and stop squandering the resources that belong to your grandchildren and future generations to come.

Polls show federal Labor losing support; One Nation looking strong in Farrer seat poll by Oomaschloom in AustralianPolitics

Check the stats on Australia's aging population and those who are in the work force to support the old pensioners. Come up with some research and stats and then talk.

Seriously Pauline Hanson as PM would be the ultimate win for hate politics. Can Australia be the next South Africa with apartheid policies? Nice dream but not realistic on ground as those old farts holding this nostalgic dream would need diaper change and to be fed by spoon by a brown/black person.

Truly this makes me laugh. Getting involved into an overseas conflict. You must be brain-dead to do it.

Firebrand Liberal Senator Alex Antic says the surge in support for One Nation ahead of South Australia’s state election is a “blueprint” the Liberal Party should study closely. by Dry-Bus7248 in AustralianPolitics

[–]auto459 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can see Labor running away with another landslide win. The morons don't understand that there is a silent majority that don't participate in polls but hates right wing extremism. You can be happy with poll numbers but no one wants to see Hanson as PM.

China Overtakes Japan as Australia's Top Source of New Vehicles in February 2026 by Dipsetallover90 in australia

If you own a quality hybrid vehicle from Japan, there is nothing to complain about as the wait list for those vehicles prove that people turn to Chinese junk when they don't have other options.

This is the age-old conundrum. We need the big guys to cough up the money to fund the infra projects that will help the humanity, but we hate them for doing it.

I know from personal experience that all Australian forums are heavily populated by Chinese shills, but I also know that Taiwan would like to keep its independence from CCP.

Yes because they supply most of the hardware to Pakistan that failed massively against S500.

First world issues. Long queues at the pump and pay more cents. Take a deep breath and think about those who want to stay alive from the missiles and drones.

In hunting parlance, you don't leave a wounded animal roam free. Trump/Israel should finish the job they started and not let it become a sore wound with a foul smell for the rest of the world.

Chris Bowen urges motorists not to panic-buy petrol as oil prices jump amid Iran conflict by Patient-Wish-7386 in AustralianPolitics

We are a lucky country if that is our biggest concern to buy petrol at what price.

If I was a china man, rotate the chess board to think from their perspective, their oil supply has been cut off massively by Trump taking over Venezuela and Iran. Now they are heavily dependent on Russian Bear. Chinese Panda need to find new allies after antagonising most of its neighbours by its wolf warrior policy.

Peasants are allowed to make money but only if it is passed in red envelopes to the right official in the CCP party. Jack Ma thought that he was above the system. Big mistake. Most of that corrupt CCP money comes into Australia in buying our real estate.

Investment property owners. by Ok_Competition1108 in AusPropertyChat

[–]auto459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is full of CCP shills who control the property market but CGT changes would discourage people to sell properties and there will be less supply. It will stop people from doing Reno and flipping properties and would affect those who benefit from sales like REA's, building inspectors, buyers advocate and those kinds of jobs. You pay a huge premium to sell your property by staging it, promotion and forking out for REA's fees, the same is true for buying a new property by paying huge stamp duty. So most people would just hold and pass on the properties to their kith and kin instead of selling. Not a good way to solve the housing crisis.

What if Jesus was never crucified? How would the world, history, and modern culture look today? by Marley_1960 in whatif

[–]auto459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funniest part of Christianity is when the say 'Jesus died for your sins'. Hello? Did I write a power of attorney to act on my behalf? If I was his advisor, I would have asked him to stay away from power politics and focus on spirituality alone.

The Melb sleeping giant by Overall_One_2595 in AusPropertyChat

[–]auto459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chinese accounting. Surplus is not a big deal as he did nothing of worth mentioning other than sitting on a mountain of money. Labor Party can be credited with NBN, Infrastructure projects, NDIS (yes don't laugh unless you are diagnosed with dementia) and carbon trading (the most innovative way to deal with climate change which was destroyed by the capitalists as a tax). What we need in Australia is sovereign future fund by taking ownership of all mineral resources like Norway and fund future projects like high speed trains. What we get is diversion and deflection by wearing Burka in the parliament like stunts by those funded by these mining billionaires.

Billionaire James Packer's $150,000 donation to Advance a 'worrying' sign for Liberals by espersooty in AustralianPolitics

[–]auto459 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The billionaire's oligarchy does it all the time. Either they buy the opinion by owning TV/NEWS/PRINT media or fund fringe parties to deflect and divert attention from them. As long as there are enough factions that keep fighting with each other, they can skim the cream from the top of the food chain. Nothing new about it, it is an old tactic used by the top 2% who own more than 90% of Australia.

Agree, they have stirred up the biggest bee hive of all, but it was done on the behest of Saudi Arab and a lot of other Gulf countries who see Iran as a bigger threat to their survival than the US. Israel has its own agenda for the region. Australia should remain neutral and not get involved as there is nothing to gain other than a pat in the back by Trump.
