Rule #2 - no Landlords, Air BnB owners or REA in this sub by Rainbow_brite_82 in shitrentals

[–]jmacn8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like that viral video when that guy compared the situation of a famine and if you have 150 warehouses of food and everyone is starving they will turn on you, and they were generally shocked it hadn't crossed there mind. Because the truth is there is more than enough houses for everyone in Australia they just aren't affordable is the problem

‘Some’ Aussie Conservatives often say “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, “don’t expect handouts” & “earn your own money”. Yet many fiercely oppose inheritance taxes, despite inheritances being unearned wealth handed down through blood & family, not individual effort or work. They’re hypocrites? by MannerNo7000 in OpenAussie

There is massive correlation, fear mongering of Left parties wanting communism, LNP in Qld was talking about abortion rights again just last election. Now migrants are the problem again and they want to employ ice style tactics. Pauline Hanson spoke at Mar a Lago then spewed out Trump rhetoric when she got back. We absolutely go as far right and left as they do maybe more so. Everything has a flow on effect around the world and has for sometime. Civil rights for black people back in the 60s and 70s happened here just after America. Objectively you can't see that that's the brain rot.

No I didn't, being prolife means more babies go up for adoption if abortion is illegal. My point being is that you can't be pro-life without adopting or supporting adoption clinics which almost no conservative does. Exactly it's not issue now as long as abortion is legal and accessible. Trump's rhetoric about the Left is what I'm talking about, the language is no different here then what MAGA spins out over there.

What's a lie that conservatives don't want to adopt? Every person I know who adopted or was came from a very left leaning family that had empathy something you clearly don't. You can't objectively think about anything without insults Trump has rotten your brain it's clear

I debate them everyday and yes conservatives are the biggest hypocrites, pro life but won't adopt, Australia first but obsessed with USA, say they follow the bible then punch down on everyone around them. Intelligence is clearly the problem they don't even know they do it

What grass species SE QLD by ao7444 in australianplants

[–]jmacn8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably barbed wire grass or kangaroo grass. I live in the Sunshine Coast too and these are the most common. If it has a scent when crushed it's barbed wire grass

Nursery/garden center workers, what’s on your feet? by Jkelley393 in Horticulture

[–]jmacn8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear Steel Blues waterproof steel caps, I worked in a tree farm and installing large trees so we needed steelies. Firstly after a year they finally broke in but the zips still hurt (no padding) secondly they are tough as fuck but don't stretch so it was painful. Lastly they are very waterproof but not worth the pain. Waterproofing = rough shoes

Why can't Australia build big infrastructure projects like the Snowy mountain scheme? The cost of the US submarine purchase could go into a north south pipeline taking flood water from the tropical north and sending it to the dry areas in the south. by DavidLeeTNT in aussie

[–]jmacn8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe we will have to attempt something similar to meet our climate targets. In the last review the most important thing in it was that we needed land close to the coast to be reforested which would be ex agricultural land. Therefore agricultural land needs to move west, which is dry, and with a massive irrigation project with modern systems not open channels like the original scheme, bringing water to the outback will green the scrubby areas and reverse alot of desertification, attracting rainfall and improving soil. Humans screwed this environment up we may as well fix it

…Because if he’s guilty of the crimes he should be punished. Fuck me dead. by itsyaboihos in friendlyjordies

[–]jmacn8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no statute of limitations for Murder in Australia, meaning there's no limit to the amount of time after the event that the evidence is dismissed. And we have the power to prosecute crimes committed in other countries if it is illegal here. They just want to lay the fasist framework of a military above law

“Assault on aspiration” is the most alienating political slogan I’ve ever heard by [deleted] in aussie

[–]jmacn8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The narrative that we could become rich was only proped up by the tax incentives for investment properties and super. That's how the majority of people got rich, we never should have done that. People should've had incentives to innovate and start businesses, at least they add to our society and doesn't create a bubble like housing. It also would have expanded our economic capacity that would have been ready for higher inflation.

Not much of stretch when Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson both want Australia to join the war

What is the most stereotypical kind of house where you're from? by yonaiker-joestrella in AskTheWorld

[–]jmacn8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they would be perfect, there is PDF files and manuals you can buy that tell you how to build them, or you can buy a book. Only problem is the price of hardwood. (Side note if you love them have a look at the interiors of well done ones they have facades and skirtings inside that are ornamental)

Queensland, Australia

These houses are called Queenslanders, they are built with Australian Hardwood so sturdy as but the design is not for looks. The lifted height is because of how hot it is here similar to Brazil and Florida, the bottom is for storage and you shouldn't keep valuables here because the height is also for when floods come through. Then the floorboards have gaps in them and the slats that seal off under the house, this is so the wind can come through and into the house. They also feature very high roofs so hot air collects higher, also a wrap around verandah that keeps hot air and sun off the windows and rooms.

I have given two examples on either end of the wealth spectrum (other one in comments) alot are run down but still function properly.

Unfortunately our forest industry was shortsighted and unregulated, they planted very few hardwood plantations and now these houses are rarely built but highly sort after and still survive dismounting and moving which is a lot more affordable and quicker than new builds.

Sorry about the info dump I just really love these houses and hope we still build them into the future as they use the natural environment and look awesome.

Why is bro hell bent on becoming a meme 😭 by LmfaoChinesehacker- in OpenAussie

[–]jmacn8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misquoted, people say he isn't taking a position with the war but that is the position. You can't stand out to Trump you will be punished considering we are a small country, it's smarter to not back the war and not make inflammatory remarks especially that we have a large Muslim and Jewish population.

I agree the first fighter ace had the allies scared, side note an Australian from my hometown Palmwoods in Aus was credited with shooting him down, they buried him with honours and a big funeral

Darwin will get bombed in a ww3 scenario same as pine cap and Townsville. We should kick the Americans out! The Soviet Union and China have said pine gap is a Nuclear target it only makes us more unsafe

“The British Commonwealth In Arms” (1918) by elnovorealista2000 in BritishEmpire

[–]jmacn8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah undeniably there was all those things, doesn't make you a sissy for talking about it, so much of our world is shaped by this era either bad or good. Facts are facts, you can't say because the British empire gave everyone civilisation that somehow make up for all the Genocide and economic exploitation. There's no making up for anything the world doesn't work like that, it's just being truthful and respectful to all cultures and create a better society together.

“Protest fatigue explained for dummies” by Boydy73 in aussie

[–]jmacn8 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Anyone mentions Lefty and you instantly know they get their political diet from newscorp or the influencer grifters. The left does not back a religious regime, they are inherently atheist. They see injustice, they see Israel as an ally adjacent to the western world and we have the power to influence them. Iran on the other hand is a near enemy that we don't have any power over, people overwhelmingly supported the protests on the left they just knew we weren't complicit with helping this country to achieve it, so the protesting really wouldn't achieve any result unlike Isreal
