Hello everyone
l’m currently overseas in the sunny and tropicale locale of Pulau Pinang otherwise known as Penang Island. It is very hot.
I was going to go parasailing today, but lying on the couch seemed like a better idea. Maybe tomorrow.
Anyway, I just thought I’d start a new thread as the other one’s getting s tad long. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves…
cheers

Happy holiday, reb. I hope you are relaxed and comfortable, calm in mind and sensually satisfied.
Don’t you worry about this place. The haters keep hatin’ and the masturbators masturbatin’. And that’s just my contribution.
Actually I’m bored of politics. The world needs more reggae.

Seems a lot of rwdb’s are these days. It’s perplexing 😉
Perhaps this is why so many are “bored” with politics?

Tom R, I think politics now is not quite the same high-speed trainwreck under R/G/R/A. More like a slow dance of the dead with Turnbull and Shorten spewing mealy-mouthed platitudes without saying much.
high-speed trainwreck
lol
Yet the policies we are still talking about, NBN, Gonski, Carbon Price, yea, that came from a “train wreck”?
And you wait until the election is called, and Labor starts running the ads detailing just what malcayman did to the NBN
Yes, Labor had massive turmoil going on, but the difference is, they still provided good Governance, not like this mob, who seem heel bent on mutual destruction, and don’t seem to care who goes down with them.
And you want to see a train wreck, look no further than one of the few things this mob actually did
Multibillion-dollar federal funding cuts to Victoria’s health system over the next decade equate to closing down two major institutions, like the Royal Melbourne Hospital which employs about 9000 people, state government officials say.

I’m still trying to figure out what policy trainwreck there was – a leadership bloodletting sure, but trainwreck?
Gillard actually did stuff despite Abbott … and Abbott didn’t do stuff because his stuff was shite!
It still is shite … wrapped in a golden glow gleaned from Milkum TurnAbbout’s smirk …
liars … cheaters … deceivers … hypocrites all …
Gawd save us … ’cause the Liberal Party won’t …

It’s just vacuous repetition of vacuous msm memes, no figuring taken into account 😉
Yet the policies we are still talking about, NBN, Gonski,
Too funny. Labor just has to announce something for Labor supporters give nothing but praise. FTTP would never be finished. Why not give praise when Labor actually finishes something not announces something?
Gillard actually did stuff despite Abbott
Yep TB she certainly did. With your approval she locked up 8,000 children.
Labor also sent unemployment from 4.3% to 5.8% very quickly. Budget was trashed. Unemployment was trashed. Everything was trashed.
To say TB you are deluded is an understatement.
lol
I say “vacuous”, and look what appears 😉

And while i am at it this is what TB of QUEENSLAND, TomR, Reb, WAlrus and any deadbeat who voted for Rudd caused.
https://www.humanrights.gov.au/publications/asylum-seekers-refugees-and-human-rights-snapshot-report/2-onshore-detention-and
Between January 2011 and February 2013 there were 4,313 incidents of actual, threatened and attempted serious self-harm recorded in immigration detention facilities in Australia.[73] In the 2012–2013 financial year there were 846 incidents of self-harm across the immigration detention network.[74]
Between 1 July 2010 and 20 June 2013, there were 12 deaths in immigration detention facilities. Coroners have found that six of those deaths were suicides.[75]
TomR every act of self harm in detention centers is your fault (and TB OF QUEENSLAND) because you restarted a problem John Howard had solved

Labor has also questioned whether the Government is serious about asking for the Senate to reconsider its position, given the two bills are not listed on the notice paper.

Walrus you voted for Rudd. So you are responsible for all the damage Rudd did.
What is worse lots of people want Labor back.
I myself have some problems with voting for the Coalition.
What is the difference between voting for Shorten or Turnbull?
I myself have some problems
That’s certainly apparent.
What is the difference between voting for Shorten or Turnbull?
I think it begins with FTT and ends in ski 🙂
No. Both of them put their personal beliefs above what is best for Australia. And that is the first time i have ever said that about a leader of the Coalition.
Labor supporters putting their personal beliefs above what is best for Australia is normal.

my.abc,,,,,Tony Windsor v Barnaby Joyce: Deputy PM says he’s ready for a fight
One of the most senior members of the Turnbull Government, Barnaby Joyce, has said he is looking forward to the challenge posed by the re-emergence of long-time political rival Tony Windsor.
Mr Windsor has announced his intention to run as a candidate in the seat of New England for the next election.
Already the fierce political and strategic muscle flexing is playing out, after Mr Windsor travelled to Canberra for a well-publicised media conference to confirm his intentions, while Mr Joyce stationed himself in Tamworth’s main street for a media event pre-empting the outcome.,,,,

Word in the unis is that the Libs are going to allow more Russian scientist into Australia to lecture in Science Departments around the country …
That is most probably something Labor supporters would do. I have met more people who believe in open borders who vote Labor than vote Liberal.
Science is the first profession with open borders. Some time ago the powers that be decided that English should be the language of science. And guess what? Every scientist from non-English speaking countries want a job in English speaking countries because they are nicer countries to live in and the pay is better.
You may say why do people employ them? Well they area talented but they are willing to do things nobody in Australia would do. They will work for half wages.
Apparently the white Australia policy was not entirely racist. Unions did not want Chinese because they would work for half wages and drive the wages of everybody else down. Substitute the Chinese for Russians and you have the same thing.
TR? see? 😀

I just re watched the 4 Corners story again on the Comm Health debacle … the James Hardy of banks …!

I have one simple message RESIGN NAREV …
His upbringing and life experiences didn’t make him a better man it made him a heartless banker!
Either he doesn’t know what’s happening or doesn’t care … either way he needs to RESIGN!
The CEO of VW in Germany resigned … the CEO of VW USA resigned for cheating over cars!
This guy is residing over people’s lives and waffles more than Milkum TurnAbbout!

If this doesn’t trigger a RC on Financial Services … then we have a massive problem in this country that TurnAbbout will ignore or can’t handle … the emperor has no clothes!

The rich people who pay no tax
MIKE SECCOMBE
https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/2016/03/12/the-rich-people-who-pay-no-tax/14577012002989
Lost in the tax debate are the billions hidden in the cash economy, and the complex systems concealing the incomes of the very rich..
…Another option, if the government is to address the widening gap between its revenue and expenditure, what it used to call the “debt and deficit disaster”, is to get serious about taxing capital. Shifting the tax focus from income to wealth.
Australia’s tax system is very gentle with wealth…
…Let’s start with outright tax evasion. This is what makes a lot of small business people – the tradie who’ll do it cheaper for cash, the fish shop owner who won’t accept credit cards – very rich.
“The cash economy taskforce estimates it to be worth about $10 billion,” says Ann O’Connell, director of tax studies at Melbourne Law School.
Other estimates suggest it is much bigger than that. One credible proposition suggests 14 or 15 per cent of the whole economy is black.
The introduction of the GST by the Howard government was supposed to curtail the cash economy but has actually served to foster it, O’Connell says.
Dale Boccabella, of the school of taxation and business law at the University of New South Wales, agrees. Now theses dodgers evade both income tax and GST.
“The main area is the provision of services to the household sector,” he says. “And try as hard as they do, the ATO has limited capacity to make inroads.”
The aspect of it that particularly nettles Boccabella is the “complete deafening silence” on the part of politicians about widespread tax evasion in the small business sector. He contrasts this with the strong criticism of the tax practices of large corporates and multinationals. But small business is a bigger problem, he says…

Editor’s Note March 2016
https://www.themonthly.com.au/blog/nick-feik/2016/01/2016/1456750800/editor-s-note-march-2016
…In 2014, Malcolm Turnbull said Australia’s tax system was “too tough on people earning income, i.e. the entrepreneurs, the people who are growing and driving, younger people in jobs, working hard, making money in their businesses. It is too tough on them. But it is incredibly concessional to older people who have made their money.”…
…Right now, the danger for Turnbull is that he risks becoming better known for selling out his beliefs than acting on them…

Public health and personal responsibility..
…To catch a respiratory or gastroenterological virus you need to let it into your body. It can’t pass through skin; its portals to your guts and lungs are the mucus membranes of your major public orifices (mouth, nose, eyes). Inhale a sick person’s breath and you’re a goner. Same if you touch a “fomite” (an object they’ve touched) and then put your finger to one of your portals. Air breathed by someone with the measles virus remains contaminated for two hours after they’ve left the room. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends keeping a distance of 6 feet between yourself and a person with a cold. Try following that advice in a peak-hour train mid winter. CDC also recommends that sick people wear surgical masks in public, to protect those around them, “if tolerable”…
If you go into a hospital for treatment here it’s deemed as ‘safe’ a 3 foot distance between patients [although some need complete isolation] and then of course there are those ‘magic’ non-porous curtains!

Donald Trump is about as appealing as Clive Palmer.
Hey armchair, l notice ya`reading-up on germ warfare. l suggest you watch the documentary on super-bugs/food (probably-sbs) next time its on. Modern farming (cattle and pigs) is feeding stock penicillin and gm-corn to fatten them faster, resulting in stock producing super-e.coli and other super-bugs that resist penicillin. lt shows the whole absurd chain of events, feed-lot e.coli rich run-off into streams and rivers, which the water is drawn and sprayed on crops (spinach out-breaks and recalls) down-stream, the use of bleach in the slaughter house to treat meat contaminated when intestines are nicked and contents flow onto the meat during butchering. Filthy pens and feed-lots cause stock illness, so fed even more antibiotics. Cattle which are `grass-eaters` being fed corn, which also ramps-up super-bug production in gut, so fed more antibiotics or/and chemicals. lt`s really a crazy cycle.

Richard Di Natale under pressure over Greens-Coalition deal on Senate voting changes
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/richard-di-natale-under-pressure-over-greenscoalition-deal-on-senate-voting-changes-20160301-gn7gue.html#ixzz42lMxCahC
…Greens leader Richard Di Natale is under pressure from within his own party, the union movement and the party’s supporter base not to allow the Turnbull government to run to a double dissolution election on the back of controversial Senate voting changes which could wipe out the crossbench.
Greens senators are unanimous in their support for voting reforms, which have been a long-held ambition for the party since the Bob Brown era, but some senators are worried at the prospect of a double dissolution…
…He has stated that the Greens would not do anything to actively facilitate a double dissolution but will back voting reforms no matter what the electoral fall out for the party.
On Tuesday, his office said there was no change to that position.
Unions have been registering their displeasure with the Greens amid talk of direct threats to withdraw funding to the Greens. A double dissolution election would likely clear the way for the return of the Australian Building and Construction Commission and unions also fear a potential Coalition majority and the return of policies like WorkChoices…
… but with the added benefit of Queenslanders …
Absofknlutely!

PlayUp: PM Malcolm Turnbull got money out, staff missed super and pay
http://www.afr.com/news/politics/playup-pm-malcolm-turnbull-got-money-out-staff-missed-super-and-pay-20160309-gnf5xg#ixzz42piVXSZ6
…Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his family have retrieved some of their investment in a failed tech start-up as other wealthy and famous investors face losing $100 million, thanks to a deal struck with the company’s former chairman, ex-NSW Premier Nick Greiner.
The former staff at PlayUp, a sports technology start-up, are owed at least $3.7 million with the company now in liquidation after former employees recently took winding-up action over wages and superannuation going unpaid in 2015 – at the same time a loan to Mr Turnbull and his son Alex Turnbull was being repaid with 12 per cent annual interest…
Turnbull looks more dodgy than decisive these days:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-14/matthewson-turnbull-looks-more-dodgy-than-decisive-these-days/7243804
…Unlikely senatorial hero, Ricky Muir, is on to Turnbull’s game, and has announced plans to bring forward the Senate vote on the ABCC legislation. If the Government is to honour its deal with the Greens not to debate the bill this week, it will have no choice other than to block Muir’s motion.
That will be awkward considering how important Turnbull claims the ABCC to be. Additionally, Muir’s stunt may feed into voter concern that the PM is developing a habit of not being completely frank with us…
… believe what you want but don’t foist your extreme religious ideas, thought bubbles and traditional beliefs on everyone else …
Yes TB, you should take your own advice.
Thy cup runneth over … $200 billion to go to war
Australia certainly did not spend that much.
$600,000 for a bridge
sounds cheap
$40,000,000 A YEAR for 22 politicians retirement
And what did Hawke/Keating do about this? Defined benefit schemes for politicians were removed by Costello. But it will take years for this scheme to end. Apparently it was banned in 2004. Since then politicians have Super like the rest of us. But every politician who entered Parliament before 2004 will get a fully indexed pension for life when they leave Parliament
Windsor knocking-off deputy-dog will unhinge the teabumpkins:-)

“Mr Joyce said New England voters would fare better with a senior Government representative lobbying for their interests, and would lose out if he was dumped. “It’s quite obvious, and a statement of the bleeding obvious, that from the office of the Deputy Prime Minister you’ve got a vastly better chance of getting through the important issues of New England, than as a backbencher in what will — for all intents and purposes — be the opposition,” he said.”

afr,,,,,,Crossbench Senator Ricky Muir will move to weaken the government’s case for a double dissolution election this week by calling for an immediate debate and vote on the legislation to bring back the construction industry watchdog, the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC).
In consultation with the Greens, the government has cleared the three Senate sitting days for this week to debate and pass the rules which will reform Senate voting and stop microparty senators, such as Senator Muir, gaming the preference system to win spots.
It is contemplating then holding a double dissolution election â which is a full Senate election and, due to the Senate reforms, would wipe out Senator Muir and six other microparty crossbenchers.,,,,,,

He said if the government blocks his motion, it cannot then legitimately accuse the Senate of refusing to deal with the ABCC legislation and then cite it as a trigger.,,,,,,

Looks like the Greens have the Unions offside big time
Unions are threatening to campaign against the Greens and withhold financial support if its deal with the Turnbull government for Senate voting changes leads to the return of the Australian Building and Construction Commission.

And Adam Bandt reveals just how much he and his party exist within their own reality
“Any union worried about the next Senate should be saving their criticism for conservative parties and independents who are prepared to vote to attack workers’ rights,” he said.
Yea, do a secret deal with the libs, and then just blame then for outcome. Really adam?
It is reminiscent of their holier than though positions on an ETS and the Malaysian solution, that has ended up with us having no ETS and torture camps on remote islands, and the Greens sitting there on their Lilly white pedestal pointing fingers at everyone but themselves, like they had no hand in the outcome.
We have already seen some major flaws in the initial deal the Greens were going to rush through fixed up by Labors opposition. What else is there that they have missed?
I’m also bemused as to how we have a plebiscite for a Marriage equality bill, but major changes to our voting system are just pushed through with private back room deals and little to no oversight.
It seems all back to front to me.
“I shudder every time I’ve visited the “stately homes” – especially in Yorkshire – the opulence and indulgence is insulting … to ordinary folk … ”

It is comments like that which makes me believe that Labor supporters are deluded. Sending 800 boat people to Malaysia and taking 4,000 in return is not a solution. Like most ALP policies it would make the problem worse.

the twisting of history by the right?
Hand that man a cigar 😉
I’m also bemused as to how we have a plebiscite for a Marriage equality bill, but major changes to our voting system are just pushed through with private back room deals and little to no oversight.
I’m not bemused by that tomR, I’m annoyed by it, so much of our so-called democracy is a stitch up and fait accompli presented to the voters because of done deals behind closed doors amongst the political parties and lobby groups. That seems to be how our political system works these days.
The Greens are happy to wear the blame, it’s only labor crying foul because it is something they don’t want to get up [how much of their preferences get the seat warmers, faction warriors/faction deals in?]
We’ve had cosy self-interested stitch-ups between labor & liberal for years and are just expected to cop it sweet when so much more should be done to benefit the
suckersvoters [federal ICAC, civil liberties, security].I’ve thought long & hard about the issue and changed my mind so many times, but throughout it all, I come back to voters deciding where their preferences should go is a good thing. The system shouldn’t be so complicated and lengthy that the easy and lazy option for the voter is to vote above the line where the secret deals for preferences are made in the interests of the major parties. that’s the reason we have so many dud politicians on both sides where you wonder who could possibly vote for them [joe bullock, cory bernardi, eric abetz]. Never mind that females are often put into the non-winning positions while the duds get promoted into assured places.
Anything that puts the votes and preferences in the hands of the voters is the right thing to do and yes, I will always look for the best principle of the thing and preference harvesting + setting up minor parties every election cycle purely to feed votes back to yourself is unprincipled, cynical, manipulative practice.
I’m still in favour of it!
I come back to voters deciding where their preferences should go is a good thing.
Me too BUT … my understanding is that if you vote above the line as 99% of voters will do … you cannot vote below the line and vice versa!
I don’t mind the weirdos getting up it keeps the majors on their toes … and what sort of democracy is two major parties (well, one coalition) and a wannabe greens … ?
The system we have at the moment is crude but effective …
I come back to voters deciding where their preferences should go is a good thing
I don’t disagree with that at all AO. But, I also agree that, when changing it, make sure it is right, else, it is better to keep it as it is.
As the link above shows, this new system will introduce just a different set of problems. Fix it right, and especially don’t rush it through just to suit the libs timeframe.
And no, the greens are never happy to wear the blame. Like all political parties, it’s everyone elses fault.
I don’t mind the weirdos getting up it keeps the majors on their toes
Exactly, it worked during Gilllards time, and it has worked now with Muir etal
They are unrepresentative swill, but, our pollies need something like that to keep us in check
Something along the lines of it is easier to fool 1,000 Athenians than it is to fool one Spartan King (or wtte)
Me too BUT … my understanding is that if you vote above the line as 99% of voters will do … you cannot vote below the line and vice versa!
I always vote below the line. Anyone can vote BTL but people are put off even more by table cloth sized BTL spread sheets and numbering 100+ candidates who are mostly made up of ‘party for a day’ crop ups, deliberately designed to feed votes into the majors. That kind of cheating is simply taking the electorate for mugs.
Now people will be able to vote above the line and still choose where their preferences go.
Now people will be able to vote above the line and still choose where their preferences go.
But what if they don’t care, they only want to pick the one party and be done with it?
That seems to be where this latest issue arises.
I don’t mind the weirdos getting up it keeps the majors on their toes
That is another reason why i thought you supported Clivey
“”The system we have at the moment is crude but effective …””
I’m not so convinced.
The system we have is rotten to the core, and is heading in the same direction as the Tory rule in the UK where those who have in entrenched wealth are the ones pulling the strings.
Large corporations fund the parties that protect their interests. And then those elected toadies simply pander to those corporations who funded their election campaigns.
I don’t “buy” the “argument” that there isn’t enough money to fund a decent health and education system for all.
It’s a furphy that’s been propagated by the Tories for decades now and has simply allowed to be left unchallenged.
Funny how there’s never enough money to prop up the hospital system, but they can always find tens of billions for defence, even in the wake of their so-called “budget emergency” – another great lie foisted on a gullible public and acquiescent media.
In fact the system we have here isn’t too dissimilar to the political systems that our so-called “elected leaders” criticise in Asia.
The only difference is the amount of $$$ involved in the corruption.
In Malaysia, PM Najib is sacking Ministers who pose a threat to his leadership. In Australia our PM gives them plush jobs in the US or as envoy to the UN.
The end result is the same, simply get them out of the way.
And now we have the Greens making deals with the Libs, a prospect that would’ve been anathema just a few years ago.
The reality is that there are very few politicians in “the system” who are actually interested in what’s best for the country and its citizens.
The vast majority are in it for themselves and the post parliamentary lucrative entitlements.
The rot needs to stop, and it needs to stop at the top. But given that they’re responsible for setting their own remuneration, we’re unlikely to see anything like that happening in the foreseeable future.
No, the only thing that will force a change is a mass revolution, and given that most ppl are too busy numbing what’s left of their senses with episodes of The Bachelorette, MKY and Home Away, that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.
“That is another reason why i thought you supported Clivey”

I agree reb. Our system is rotten to the core and has been for far too long, the voters have been held hostage to the collusion and corruption in the system. Of course there’s money for health and education etc, that’s why we pay our taxes. We don’t pay taxes to support rent seeking private enterprise in a trickle up economic redistribution by stealth or to support the lifestyle of the political class. We don’t pay tax to support private health and education either, that’s supposed to be paid for by the user. We don’t pay tax so religion can get a free ride, we should have the government provide our services without the piety and the sermons.
I think the proposed changes to Senate voting are fine.
What is the history? Hitler’s national socialists went about violently disrupting events they didn’t like. Now Sander’s socialists go about violently disrupting political events they don’t like.

I get it KL. We pay our taxes so leftist mongrels can colonise the ABC and use it for their propaganda and we pay our taxes so leftist deadshit deadenders can infest the schools and indoctrinate kids with leftist filth and we pay our taxes so that society can be taken over by government funded leftist arsewipes hell bent on dividing society into competing interest groups.
We pay our taxes so the government will provide us with services sb. We’ve only lost out since the services that were previously provided by government have been sold off to private enterprise who privatise their profits and socialise their losses, all with the acceptance of the government. We’re just the mugs who pay for it. The taxpayer’s have their taxes forcibly removed from them to supposedly fund necessary services for the good of the nation. Over decades the service is paid for and becomes a community owned asset and everyone is happy, then it gets sold off to business for private profit for next to nothing and the taxpayer [who already owned it remember] as consumer is now paying more and more for services that they previously owned.
That is how the NBN will go too.
The problem is ideology – who the government want to ‘gift’ their mates with our money, just a different set of rent seekers whichever political party is in power.
Do we really need to sink enormous sums into defence and does defence need to outsource to private enterprise? How many politicians end up owning shares in the companies that they gift millions and billions of our funding to, how many go straight from politics to the boards of these companies? Let’s not forget the peculiar rent seeking of our squattocracy where socialising losses and privatising profits is the MO.
This is The Greens today…
Wasn’t that a stunt?
That’s true.
“We’ve only lost out since the services that were previously provided by government have been sold off to private enterprise who privatise their profits and socialise their losses…”

Didn’t qantas run to government for more money? granted they didn’t get it, but they wanted it bad, they ended up going on a company strike and stranding it’s passengers with government collusion. Didn’t the banks run to government for protection from the GFC? telstra was protected when john howard did not separate retail and wholesale and look at how it’s behaved since. Medibank/medicare had always been socialised and owned by the public. Do you think that health is a profit making industry? [unless you are a private health company eg medibank private et al, then you pick the ops that make profits and ditch the loss making ones to medicare] and taxpayers pay for the private health rebates and we also pay a medicare subsidy if we choose not to buy into private health?

“Didn’t the banks run to government for protection from the GFC?”
Yes they did but that had nothing to do with “socialising losses” it was because the GFC had frozen over the credit markets meaning no one could borrow without government guarantees (overseas it resulted in bank takeovers)
“Didn’t qantas run to government for more money? granted they didn’t get it, ”
Yep and Joe Hockey refused
“…., they ended up going on a company strike and stranding it’s passengers with government collusion”
That was under Rudd/Gillard era and was not directly linked to any losses but was linked to malevolence by the Unions

Thanks Tom R. I’ll, take that on board. 🙂 But seriously, have a look at this if you want to challenge everything you think you know on this topic.

Well, what a pair of pillars of integrity. Wicks and Tommo.
Anyone got the phone number of the local brothel? …and got a credit card I can use?
Yeah! The unions took legal action!!!
…and Qantas responded with …. legal action!
It’s just not fair when that happens. Unions can’t win if companies observe legalities.
… to show why socialism, understood as an economic system based on government ownership of the means of production, positively requires a totalitarian dictatorship.”
Socialism is NO MORE an economic system than democracy is … the communist economic system that people tend to ignore in their ignorance is called a Command System … (look it up because I’m sick of educating right wing ignorance on this fkn blog!)
Democracy and communism and socialism are political systems any one of them could operate either a Command System economy, a Capitalist economy or … as in the case of modern China … a hybrid capitalist/command system …
Socialism is different to communism (look it up … ) … communist state have elections WOW!
National socialists believe in gods and soothsayers and astrologists and mythology and legends and all sorts of other shite … its a right wing political hang up … “just believe” …
Stalin was a left wing dictator, paranoid and an arsehole … Hitler was a right wing dictator paranoid, racist and an arsehole – build a fkn bridge and get over it!
We don’t want either in this country … but the Yanks are heading for the latter! For which we will suffer!
Can you live with the consequences of defending a national socialist Fuckwit© called Trump whose, paranoid, racist, nationalistic, aggressive, narcissistic and an arsehole … and a presbyterian … dog bless it!

…and Qantas responded with …. legal action!
That grounded their entire fleet, and stranded every single passenger, and potentially threatened Australia’s very economic position.
If any UNION ever went that far it would and should be castigated just as joyce was castigated.
But you seem to support that kind of bullying thuggery, as long as it is done by the corporates, and as long as you consider it “legal”.
malcayman hides his cash away in a known tax haven. It is legal. It sure as hell aint right.
It is very easy to miss complexities in the the politics of the past and thus draw wrong conclusions about them.
I AGREE!
Yet the author then attempts to do just that. I mean, the swastika was used elsewhere. That’s really an argument to support his case ffs! Even Coca Cola used the friggin Swastika, before the Nazi’s ruined it for everyone. I guess that PROVES Hitler was a Pepsi hater?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#North_America
He then uses modern politics interpretation of “left” and “right” (or, to be fairer, his own interpretation of “left” and “right” ) to further his argument, AFTER warning us of the “complexities in the the politics of the past “.
And then, to cap it all off, he uses bolt.
BOLT! ffs tosy
I did however come across this refutation of your initial article, and he uses the politics of the time to back his argument
Yet, by this very definition, Hitler wasn’t a socialist. Marxism is defined by class war, and socialism is accomplished with the total victory of the Proletariat over the ruling classes. By contrast, Hitler offered an alliance between labour and capital in the form of corporatism – with the express purpose of preventing class war. Marxists regarded this as one of the stages of capitalist development and few at the time legitimately interpreted the Third Reich to be a socialist society. The radical George Bernard Shaw, for example, certainly expressed sympathy for Hitler when he came to power but later described the dictator’s socialism as fraudulent – as a way of buying off the inevitable revolution. He wore, in Shaw’s opinion, “the latest mask of capitalism.”
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100261121/hitler-wasnt-a-socialist-stop-saying-he-was/
But, as I alluded to above, since the extremes of both sides of politics are in fact, very close, it becomes easy to try and persuade others that one is in fact the other. Especially if you deny the facts of what and how Hitler achieved such economic success in 1930’s Germany. And it wasn’t by using Socialist means, but by privatising much of Germany’s industries, and then Nationalising their works.
I mean, VW did well out of it, didn’t they 😉
Indeed, while the Nazis continued the Weimar Republic’s policy of nationalisation, they also privatised quite a few things, too: some steelworks, four major banks and the railways. The profit generated almost 1.4 per cent of the state’s income from 1934-38. Industrialists did well in the Nazi years, helped by a state policy of crushing the unions and emphasising full employment over raising pay. It is true that the economy was socialised in the latter part of the 1930s, but not for the sake of building socialism. It was to prepare for war.
But Hitler also used language as a great politician does, telling people what they want to hear
He appealed to all classes of Germans. The name of the Nazi Party itself was deliberately all inclusive – the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/elect.htm
But it wasn’t as “all inclusive”, was it. The corporations did very well out of it.
Money was flowing in from German industrialists who saw the Nazis as the wave of the future. They invested in Hitler in the hope of getting favors when he came to power. Their money was used to help pay the growing numbers of salaried Nazis and fuel Goebbels’ propaganda machine.
And, in case you aren’t convinced, “socialism”, in all its ‘isms’, isn’t just for ‘teh’ left. It might not suit your “ideal” of ‘teh’ right (in the same way that communism doesn’t suit my ‘ideal’ of the left), but the reality is what the reality is, no matter how often revisionists want to revise it.
Right-wing socialism

I also note the Hitler was an aspiring artist at one time. I won’t be drawing any parallels there though. One tree does not make a forest (and all that) 😉

Yea, but, historically speaking, that doesn’t really lead to “safe” schools now, does it?
A pointless campaign.
If you want the job you need to sign this clause and opt out or no job or no job after 5 months. When will the Union movement ever learn
“At the Fair Work Commission on Monday, the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union made the case for “automatic conversion” that would make casual workers permanent after six or 12 months unless they “opt out” and want to remain casual.”

A pointless campaign.
Why is it pointless?
How can someone who has worked somewhere for 12 months 8 hours a day, 52 weeks a year, be considered “casual”?

Here is a picture of Aussie workers thanking their corporate overlords for being allowed to work full time hours on a casual hire
“Why is it pointless?”
Well if there is an “opt out” clause dont you think that will determine whether he gets the job or not ?
Missing the point, wally, capital needs labour to operate and labour needs capital to be able to work … its a symbiotic relationship – losy on many people and from both side of IR … and the relationship needs a flexible approach … on BOTH sides … not just capital (management) …
Lazy management play the casual game … and the threat of “just do it! Now! Do you want a job or don’t you – ’cause there’s the gate!”… will be ringing in someone’s ears as I type this comment.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely …

That’s the argument the employers will run, but, when push comes to shove, will they want to take a chance on another untried, or stick with someone they know performs.
Having heard the amount of whinging from employers over their inability to find good workers ……. 😉
And where does this casualisation of the workforce end? $3 a day, an hour? Oh, looks like we are already @ $3/hour
With our car plants closing down and manufacturing jobs going offshore, we are increasingly accustomed to jobs being lost overseas. What is new and will come as a shock to most of us is that for the first time, the federal government is allowing foreign workers on Australian shores to be paid $3 an hour despite our federal minimum wage of $17.29.

“………will they want to take a chance on another untried, or stick with someone they know performs.”
The employer can decide on that.
It might be (this is just an example) that his job is totally contingent upon the annual renewal of a single customer contract. If its not renewed then he isn’t either.There are plenty of those situations around.
To force them to make someone permanent after 6 months will just result in shorter hire periods of less than 6 months
will just result in shorter hire periods of less than 6 months
Sounds like a typical scare campaign, with nothing to back it up.
If a business doesn’t have a contract the following year, then getting rid of full time employees is simple. It is not the onerous task corporations pretend
But, if a business doesn’t have a contract the next year ………… ya don’t really have a business, do you?
“But, if a business doesn’t have a contract the next year ………… ya don’t really have a business, do you?”
If its one of multiple contracts then you are incorrect.
A freight forwarding company would be an example whereby it employs on the basis of annual contract renewals. I have a client like that. I dont do its accounts (cant be bothered) but I do do other stuff for them.
If its one of multiple contracts then you are incorrect.
If its one of multiple contracts then you are most probably able to move employees about.
an example whereby it employs on the basis of annual contract renewals.
Yes, nice to know its employees are seen in the same light as a yearly paper contract. You miss the entire point, This is human beings we are discussing. People who would like to plan for futures you cannot plan for on a casual income.
At least the yearly contract has a years certainty. A casual has NONE!
“If its one of multiple contracts then you are most probably able to move employees about.”
More likely cutting their hours back.
Which means you need a casual to be able to do that.
Thanks for proving my point by the way 🙂
More likely cutting their hours back.
More likely sounds more like another scare campaign to me.

# ,, l hear`ya team-cheerer, but unfortunately l tend to agree with blubbers on this one, many businesses in their rush to shove their work-force into labor-agents so they could rip-off their holiday pay, have in many cases gutted their business to `single-item` output and `single-client` out-fits. They have often `de-skilled` their work-force and have no chance of regaining lost business. Free-trade dumping has then added to their woes.

…explained-away as a `green-agenda`…
It’s true; I’ve read Adolf’s Green Paper: the ‘law of the jungle’ is only natural.
That’s why the deemed-weak liberals, democrats, social democrats, socialists, communists, humanitarians, parliamentarians, constitutionalists, Age of Enlightenment losers, and every other degenerate pussy without requisite quotient of Drumpf tiger-blood leaping in their veins had to go.
Oh, except the Conservative Right, what with their folksy ultra-nationalist ways and their Wilhelm Reich-esque thing for strong authority figures; they could stay, for a while; in the bottom drawer of the Cabinet, to make up the numbers and to get a special Nuremberg mention as active enablers of the total will-to-power exercise.
But, who could have known a sub-set of German people in a Weimar Republic might and did harbour restive, born-to-rule, contra-democratic, there-can-be-only-one, winner-takes-all sentiments. After all, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei didn’t rise and rise and fall on its own; it inhabited an inherited ecosystem and merely enlarged an existing niche; pro-German, pro-Pan-German, anti-Russian, anti-Jew, anti-Marxist thus so, anti-Anglo-French, pro-Monarch/Monarch-ambivalent, counter-Revolutionary.
In any event, it’s chewing over the world-concept of making Germany Greater again that’s worthy of the heroic struggle, not just who pays, or how, for the grists to the mills; although, as every good Marxist knows, it’s always the best for any totalising State to incorporate the (industro-)capitalists into a (perma-)war-setting economy, and, believe me, the Völk(isch) had the best social-capitalists and ideo-coloni(ali)sts, naturally.
Until they didn’t.

…The NSW Greens have previously pointed out that Manildra, Australia’s largest ethanol producer, has donated $4.3 million to the Liberals, Nationals and Labor since 1998.
In NSW, major retailers must try to ensure ethanol accounts for 6 per cent of all petrol sold, via the E10 blend, while retailers owning fewer than 20 sites are exempt.
Despite this, ethanol accounts for only about 2 per cent of all petrol sold in NSW.
The government’s legislation is expected to require smaller retailers to sell E10 for the first time to reach the 6 per cent mandate…

That is one of the few things you have said i agree with.
Too bad your Labor mates do not agree. Over at AIMN they say we are sovereign in our own currency so debt is not a problem. We can just print money anytime we want to pay our debts so we cannot go bankrupt.

That’s true to an extent nil, it just has other negative effects, like the one mentioned. Which is why it is best avoided.
Another miracle has occurred. TomR has just said something i agree with. Go over and spend some time at AIMN. According to MMT (Modern Monetary Theory) because we are sovereign in our own currency, debt is not a problem. We can just pay off our debt by money transfer. No need to do any work.

No need to do any work.
Hmm. MMT seems to imply precisely the opposite; as it’s raison d’etre.
According to MMT
I’m not an expert on that, but does the theory mention the downsides?
Countries have been doing it for years, the US is the biggest practitioner, which is funny, considering they claim to be against “big government”. Unless of course they can use their big grub mint to finance their big (private) business.
“We can just pay off our debt by money transfer. No need to do any work.”
Yeah……………I agree to0.
We can print as much money as we like. And if we need to repay our debts in US dollars (usually the case) we’ll just print some of those as well. I’m sure the Yanks wont mind us printing some of their dollars.
And if someone else wants Euros………..no problem we’ll print those too.

As usual you completely miss the point blinded by your own old Anglican bigotry.
Last time I heard people in this country have freedom of thought. If they wish to believe in a God then fine.
But you and your grotesque thought process equate the way they look to their freedom of thought.
That makes you the pathetic angry a***hole you are everyday
Liberal opponents of the reform tried to link marriage equality with the Safe Schools program and Safe Schools with paedophilia, giving the nation a foretaste of the nasty narratives that will be deployed during a plebiscite campaign.

Y’know I just thought … what did my earlier comment have to do with religion?
“””Is it just me or does George Christensen come across as a big, fat, lazy, ignorant, slob you wouldn’t invite home?
And WTF keeps electing him and others like him?””””
Not a mention of religion? And by definition (see above) not about bigotry.
Is it because ToM and wally relate the comments from Christensen and Bernardi to religious beliefs that they both share?
Are ToM and wally homophobes … and don’t support gay equality in our society?
Last time I heard people in this country have freedom of thought. If they wish to believe in a God then fine.
You miss the point … the thoughts don’t stay in their heads it relates to behaviour far too often!

Well, wally, do you agree with the Safe Schools program review findings or not?
Are you a catlyk or not?
Bigotry weeps from all the last two of three (neels a twit) comments
No you said this
… the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd debacle and subsequent governance look positively competent and professional …
Your comment is wrong. The Coalition has not trashed anything. They may not have improved the economic numbers but nothing has got worse.
There are now only 34 children in detention. Labor/TB locked up 8,000 kids
That makes you the pathetic angry a***hole you are everyday
Comments like that can’t be good for your own self esteem hey wally 😉

They may not have improved the economic numbers
Already leader for dumbest comment of the day. Well done nil 😉
Already leader for dumbest comment of the day. Well done ni
Why? Nothing has got worse.
In 2007 unemployment was at 4.3% and falling. In 2013 unemployment was at 5.8% and rising
In 2007 debt was zero. In 2013 debt was 10% of GDP and exploding.
In 2007 there were no children in detention. Labor locked up 8,000 children.
All the economic numbers got worse under Rudd/Gillard. Economic numbers under the Coalition have not changed.
Economic numbers under the Coalition have not changed.
😯
Why the smiley face? The economic numbers have not changed under the Coalition.
Under Rudd/Gillard/TB/TomR our debt went from zero to 10% of GDP in no time flat. Unemployment exploded. Our borders were destroyed. 8,000 children were locked up
The economic numbers under Rudd/Gillard were destroyed

Not sure what you are laughing about.
Unemployment went from 4,3% to 5.8% under Rudd/Gillard. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs under Labor.
Unemployment is still at 5.8% so nothing has got worse
When you get called a Tory for the 156th time in a row and it’s starting to hurt
What’s starting to hurt is watching the left side of politics rip itself apart, and all while I was very happy watching the right do it.
It’s interesting watching the Unions support the same journos who were out for the blood while they were employed.
Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs under Labor.
Yea, but Labor had a GFC to contend with.
What’s ya mates excuse?
What’s ya mates excuse?
Turnbull is not my mate. But the unemployment rate has not changed under the Coalition.
Unemployment exploded under Labor

“”What’s starting to hurt is watching the left side of politics rip itself apart””
Yes, I remember when the Greens and Labor used to be friends. Now they hate each other.
And teh Greens are now besties with the Libs.
Strange days.
But the unemployment rate has not changed under the Coalition.
Up until this week it was 6% …
http://www.tradingeconomics.com/australia/unemployment-rate
But new jobs are not being created so it will increase …
The country is in limbo … it has stalled … only the government could make it move … but they have only trashed things not supported a smooth flow … NBN, climate change, infrastructure, education, health, pensions, child support the list goes on …
If the government doesn’t know what its going to do so people will be careful with spending and that slows the economy, businesses slow or fold and put people out of work who then need welfare but daren’t spend any …
… ’cause the government is stalling with shite that could be fixed with a stroke of the pen and a conscience vote (even those with religious thoughts and beliefs) … instead of governing the country …
Christ the Pommie Governors or Port Phillip did a better job with less support and resources!
And teh Greens are now besties with the Libs.
One man can changeth the world as we know it!
Mark has been a very naughty boy!
guardian,,,,,Only one school has withdrawn from Safe Schools since a review into the anti-bullying initiative thrust the program into the spotlight, and 32 more schools have signed up,,,,,
# ,, yes teebz, l noticed that on the TV too, the program is `opt-in`, tho the fcuking teabags have tried to `distort` it as a `mandatory-gay-training-program` targeting kids, as l`ve said before, the teabags are really horrid fcuking things
Up until this week it was 6% …
So it hasn’t changed. There is not a lot of difference between 5.8% and 6% unemployment and it is now back to 5.8% so nothing has changed.
It was at 4.3% in 2007 until the people on this blog voted for Rudd in 2007

Well the Coalition tried to do something in their first budget but were called mean and nasty. It does look like the Coalition has given up trying to get the budget back into surplus. And the ALP will never get the budget back into surplus.

and has nothing to do with team blib
Don’t agree. Rudd/Gillard started a runaway debt truck which cannot be stopped. The Coalition tried to do something in their first budget but it looks like they have given up
“Well, wally, do you agree with the Safe Schools program review findings or not?”
So you miss the point yet again.
It has nothing to do with the Review and all to do with you drawing a bizarre correlationship between what someone believes in and how they look.
And what the fuck has my religion if I have one got to do with the above.
If I was asked are there an even number of stars in the Universe or an odd number how the fuck would I know ?
For those same reasons I’m agnostic meaning I prefer not to have an opinion

Agnostic about what Safe Schools or being a chrystian … or both?
Simple yes or no would suffice …
Me – agnostic about a “super being” … Safe Schools … I agree wholeheartedly
And after spending a considerable amount of time doing volunteer work in Cambodia tell me you clinker what have you done for the poor lately ?
Do you claim the trip on your tax? Do you preach to the natives?

Terrible stuff, and most unChristian; overturning furniture and telling someone of considerable public standing and much repute to leave the House of the People, merely because he occasionally, or daily, demeans and dehumanises some people, and all of them thereby, whilst living off the proceeds of his unrevealed agenda and a portion of their taxes, that is.

Really……………….here’s some good old Leftist bullying
Would you like to see some good rightist bullying … and they are right whingers … but why bother I don’t hold with violence of any kind … left, right, religious, homophobic, domestic … they’re all dicks …
How do you know that it was leftist anyway … cause Cory said so … ? I can think of a number of factions that would be violently offended at Bernardi … but no its totalitarian leftists … when its Bernardi who wants to be the totalitarian …
Wonder how he got on with his grandfather …
As for the first “no” … why do you object to Safe Schools?
Gender isn’t a choice … and dealing with bullying about it needs to be dealt with … schools AND parents opt IN … would you want your children to bully someone just because they were different? Bernardi is a bully … he has two sons … what sort of role model is he?
Another question then raises its ugly head … if you are an agnostic with regard religion … do you agree with the School Chaplain program?
Because religion IS a choice … religion is a belief as you stated earlier.
I’ll leave the second “no” to another time …
(This is called discussing the issue rather than telling people to go and fuck themselves or avoiding direct questions)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
tbagz … thanks … but wally (like a few others here) doesn’t apologize – he’s way to angry and bitter that someone may challenge his privileged (in his mind) status quo …
Its nice that someone expects an apology for the outburst …
The Pommie Anglican background amused me tho’ … I went to a CofE primary school … all of six years … I’ve already stated that I wouldn’t accept the fairytales then …
“….tell me you clinker what have you done for the poor lately ?”
What have you done for the poor in Australia lately?
Charity begins at home …
OK wally … I want to know why you are a NO for Safe Schools …

I gotta say this … no I’ll wait for wally’s reply!
If only Safe Schools had been around when I was a boy.
I probably wouldn’t have taken that overdose and ended up in a coma for 3 days, but heck it’s more important to not offend the dog botherers eh walrus?

My point is it’s about all bullying
Not just sexuality which the LEFT
Tried to make it
My point is it’s about all bullying
Not just sexuality which the LEFT Tried to make it
Then why pick on the Safe Schools program helping non heterosexual kids …
That’s why Christensen and Bernardi bullied the program and who you leapt to defend …
Religious thoughts turning into bad behaviour … its not a lifestyle choice … if you believe in a superior being it was her choice!
What is a lifestyle choice is belonging to a religion – any religion …
… so why do we have a Christian School Chaplain Service in secular schools …?
… that should be reviewed …
And why call me names pathetic cunt … pathetic angry a***hole … bigot … after this single comment …

The economy is not about helping people make as much money as possible to lord it over others …

Planning and living has elements of good/bad management and good/bad luck … ask any retired couple caught in the aftermath of the GFC …!

Says the man who voted for Keating when unemployment was at 11%.
Oh and i forget to mention, interest rates for home loans were at 18% under Keating and people were going under left, right and center.
We had almost three years of double digit unemployment under Keating, TB’s hero.
I hope nobody believes anything TB of Queensland says. He would vote ALP if the devil himself was leader.
So, Birmingham & Co‘s all sorted now on talking points for the Broad Church’s agile and innovative socio-ethics syllabus for the 19th Century: change isn’t coming, illiberation is still ideal, no evidence is evidence and belief is too, a political stitch-up isn’t and a cover-up isn’t either, K Thanks & STFU.
One query, or a few, still, though, Birmo: if (anti-)bullying is (anti-)bullying, and if the core Safe Schools content in question, which is now beyond question, and not beyond question, by everyone except, and especially by, the usual suspects, is simply an educational resource available from the Safe Schools Hub, like every other school-safety-and-wellbeing-related resource of its kind, was and, is available for use by schools and teachers, why the odd digression from basic school safety and wellbeing into a discursion about the inherent perils of religiously-inspired pastoralisms; and why the fabrication of a special set of threshold-escalations, gates-keepings and balance-tippings generally limiting schools and teachers and students just using in classrooms, applying in schools what are basic resources associated with (a) basic school safety and wellbeing issue(s); isn’t that freshly-Government-created circumstance somewhat antithetical to the general and specific school safety and wellbeing objectives immediately rehearsed, and decidedly perverse; particularly for State schools; given that the only available inference(s) to be drawn, other than prevalent operation of sheer prejudice, is that a silent or not-so-silent recitation of an ‘Our Father Who Art’ somehow is good enough grounds for objecting absolutely to actual, on-the-ground provision of an (un)der)acknowledged needful, specific component of general school safety and wellbeing (education), and to Safe(r) Schools; or that effectively (un)de(r)-resourcing (applied) school safety and wellbeing (education) somehow is considered a (dys)functional virtue, which amounts to same thing?
That should convince wally and ToM, M … 😀
WoW! As predicted but that didn’t take long! LOL!

So true. 8,000 children locked up just for starters. $15B spent housing all the people the ALP locked up.
Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs under Rudd/Gillard
2.4 Mental health impacts of detention
Between January 2011 and February 2013 there were 4,313 incidents of actual, threatened and attempted serious self-harm recorded in immigration detention facilities in Australia.[73] In the 2012–2013 financial year there were 846 incidents of self-harm across the immigration detention network.[74]
Between 1 July 2010 and 20 June 2013, there were 12 deaths in immigration detention facilities. Coroners have found that six of those deaths were suicides.[75]
All those 4,313 incidents are on your head TB because you voted for Rudd.
9.Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Tut tut …
