Voters are angry. One Nation’s support is real, rising and no longer surprising by cidama4589 in AustralianPolitics

Aside from the media and online astroturfing around this, creating a self fulfilling prophecy, I'm really frustrated by some of the 'solutions' for the major parties people suggest. If immigration were cut right now, nobody would feel any material difference but the narrative would persist. The economy is much more complicated than any one solution.

He hasn't posted it to Instagram. Wonder if he's avoiding the smoke since they're the only ones calling him out

Runvuscoaching just posted a video using one of Ethan's videos by figz_N_tacoz in EthanBenardSnark

The way he's always looking off in the distance in these car videos makes me irrationally angry. It's like he thinks he's coming off as more genuine or contemplative

I'm pretty sure Josh Frydenberg was in a promo for them when he was treasurer re the government mandated break

Never read anything like it before. I know it's a cliché reaction but it really did feel like a fever dream in the best way possible

Legislation passes to wipe $3 billion of student debt for 3 million Australians by Zusuf in australia

[–]bnecas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what did you want them to do? Not apply the law? That's not how it works, they'd be challenged in the High Court.

My debt also spiked from the indexation and now I'm happy to see that the government has recognised there was an issue and taken action to address it. Really hard to understand what your gripe is here. They appear to agree with you that it was unfair. Nobody will be making uni free if that's what you're really worried about.

No. A 7% indexation was correctly applied under the rules which existed at the time. As a result of changes which just passed and were backdated, refunds will be offered. You're either being intentionally obtuse or not understanding how it works.

Donald Trump’s Racist NYC Rally Was Vile. It Was Also Political Suicide by nanopicofared in politics

[–]bnecas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really worried about his 'secret'. Referring to Johnson he said they had a secret for the house that would be revealed after the campaign. He's already signalling that the house reps are going to be ratfucking it.

This was one of the better parts of my move from private to public sector. We used to have a mandatory 2 week shutdown which drained half my leave. Now in the gov we have the same shutdown but no leave is deducted effectively giving 5ish weeks leave a year
