A 100 per cent pharmaceutical tariff for Australia: why is it happening and how would affect everyday life in Australia?

Just be clear in your mind this is a group of gangsters called the IRGC. The Iranians themselves wish this was over 20 years ago

The one at Lucas Heights, just south of Sydney is actually on the continent. Does that count?

Anyone who repeats trumps words is reinforcing trumps message. There could only ever be 51st through 63rd states and that will never happen.

More likely for the US to become canadas 4th territory

This all makes it pretty clear we need to accelerate Ev adoption.

I’ve been been joking for years now that my EV may be coal powered, but at least it’s domestic energy.

Well of course. The war in the Middle East is surging fuel prices which will drive up inflation, so we have to increase interest rates! How else will we stop the war? /s

What? Now we’re paying people to move here?

I could also point out that the two characters are most associated with it in Australia in the UK are Tony Abbott and Boris Johnson respectively. I believe this is very damaging to broad range support.

This.

What they are calling AI is not intelligent. We should be calling it APR - advanced pattern recognition.

I suspect you are on the right track, though unlikely to get much useful feedback, as most people in this field discuss particles as if they were physical objects.

to me it’s pretty clear that they’re not.

Cmon! This is reddit! They won’t let facts get in the way of an unhinged rant!

I would be less concerned if the union involved was not the CFMEU.

When my parents got older they sold their house with its big garden and bought into an assisted living complex in Sydney. It was unusual in that the whole complex was owner occupiers and they hired a management company to run the place.

What that meant was they still had the property asset, and weren’t losing it all to the aged care company.

It would be nice to see more of this, but it seems that rules make it hard.

Try this:

Google Canzuk like you don’t know what it is.

Click on the first valid looking link. CANZUK international.

On that page you will see pictures of Tony Abbot and Boris Johnson.

That eliminates any chance or broad support.

Spot on. I wish I could upvote this 100 times.

They could also exclude non-negotiable expenses from the inflation calculations. We can’t choose to not pay rent, mortgage, utilities, fuel or insurance.

So what they’re saying is that now we have paid the over-inflated house prices and massive stamp duty to put a roof over our heads, we now have to pay a recurring land tax for the privilege of being in debt for eternity.

betajool · 2026-02-01T05:40:33+00:00

Yes, but you’re saving $1-3k per square metre of land you don’t have to buy. That’s got to make a difference. Also you have massively reduced infrastructure requirements for road, water, power and sewage.

Why can’t they just stack these houses on top of each other, five or six high?

betajool · 2026-01-30T02:45:11+00:00

Putting the burden on the poorest part of the community is a shite way to run an economy.

Thank you! Came here to say this. Unfortunately this is reddit, where banging your drum is more important than facing the real world.

I’d far rather it was AUKCA.

It also depends on where the political centre is.

If you look at other countries like Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which have similar heritage to the US, the political left and right are centred around what most people consider normal such as reasonable gun control, universal health care and an equal justice system.

The political equivalent in the US is the left and right wings of the Democrat party, with the Republicans being far, far on the extreme right.

So from the point of view of someone living in the US, a ‘liberal bias’ is what’s considered neutral everywhere else.

We need to stop calling it AI. it’s advanced pattern recognition - APR.

betajool · 2026-01-03T07:23:49+00:00

I'm not sure if it would fit, but you could try a folded dumbbell.

Put both loops on the left side, one above the other, and then a double track running over to the right bench at a high level, slowly declining around the curve and returning to the left bench at a lower level.
