And what is your point exactly?

There’s a mouthful. Free market except when….

Bloody Koalas partying all night on drugs, clubbing themselves to death. We need a Liberal government to post police at every club and strip search these buggers. Especially the 13 year old girls koalas in NSW.

You know what also works synergistically with renewables? More renewables!

Ahhh Bronwyn! I could Nazi that coming!

On a side note, I’ve just finished installing a whole lot of vertical searchlights at her home for the annual Christmas celebrations. I hear all her guests will be Gobbelling down the drinks while saluting some kind of whole potato.

Pretty much. There’s an enormous crossover between the people spruiking pie-in-the-sky nuclear projects on forums, and the people pumping small cap uranium mining stocks on Hot Copper. Pump’n’dump is the name of the game, although recently they managed to sucker in the Coalition to spruik for them.

Amazing.

Sometimes you need to take a hard line. I get it.

But indefinite detention is fucking barbaric. And I hope that those affected now have legal recourse due to this decision.

It was never the only solution. It was an expedient solution, and it’s wise to remember that when the architects of that shit show are in power and need to make hard decisions. Because the decision will be the one that maximises their political leverage - it won’t be the one that addresses say…catastrophic climate change, or over irrigation in the Murray basin, or falling education standards, or….

It’s good to see the evidence, but it was no real secret that the big private mining company owners were all scared as hell about the Voice.

Of course they can’t come out and admit that. But it’s still hilarious (in a really shit way) when people still proudly admit that the voted ‘no’ to keep Australia ‘fair and egalitarian’.

Err, no. At least 20% of the population was swayed through some astroturfing by Australia’s most wealthy toffs.

I can imagine this becoming a full time job itself, just to make sure you don’t get absolutely mauled when the spot price goes through the roof.

This is kinda like comments from the alien site circa 2010 which have aged pretty badly.

“20% renewables is the absolute maximum that can be achieved, anything over that will result in Armageddon!!!”.

“We just throw all the money up into the air, and what god wants he takes, and leaves the rest to us.”

Many of the reasons they’re “in deep shit already” come back to governments making unilateral decisions for easy media and corporate donor ‘reasons’ - specifically targeting Aboriginal people (as allowed under the constitution) rather than listening to what the communities actually need or want.

Hence the Voice. But now we can keep doing the same old shit, targeting the same old Aboriginal communities, but 60% of the population can keep kidding themselves there’s no victims and they’re absolutely not racists at all, oh no no.
