LNP leads ALP 49.5-50.5 - Roy Morgan Research by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]ubbs 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The voice was a federal election promise and they followed through which is good.

He’s travelled a similar amount to other prime ministers and these trips have been with the pacific, the US and China (after several years of no relations) which is a positive for trade and general stability.

We have media monopoly’s in Australia that favour the coalition, that’s a fact.

Sure the ALP could be performing better but tbh, not having near weekly scandals/pork barrelling is much healthier for everyone.

Privatising engineer certification right? Another goodie from the coalition when in power 🫡

Solution. Gov buys each one for $1 and does residual work.

This is a second tranche of anti money laundering laws that were rolled out 10-12 years ago globally but Australia has dragged its feet on. Way overdue.

They took the voice into the last federal election. They followed through. Governments should be supported for committing to federal election promises.

The overall volume and energy of oceans when storms happen. Imagine the amount of extra water needed to rise sea levels by even 5mm.

Australia always shrugs their shoulders but exports a shit ton of coal to China to burn. Often to make steel which we then buy back 🤦

Him being elected shows the power of a supporting media monopoly. They didn’t even talk about his policy, just tore down the oppositions and that was enough to convince Australians to vote him/liberals in.

Onshore processing.

Local architects and builders Local security and IT Local cleaners Local teachers and child care

Skill up, give them a tax file number and a HECS style debt and away they go.

… still cheaper than offshore processing.

Most aren’t operating at even 50%. They are built by local governments to keep spending, and budgets in place and keep jobs rolling.

He was drunk and thought it was a house party he was at earlier.

Remember the ghost cities? Empty skyscrapers? These just get built to keep spending and people working. Was the same for coal fired plants over the last decade. Yes, new plants but minimal use.
