Good to see Bill Shorten's decisive indecision on Adani. NQ ALP candidates pushing it, ALP city candidates opposed and Shorten saying he wont say till after election. Pretty clear if you.oppose Adani you have to vote Green and if you want it vote LNP
Yeh, cause Adani - a "private" coal mine - is the key issue Australian's should be electing their government on - FFS

Tell me why I should care? Why anyone should care? It’s just a wedge designed to trigger people like you?

Because Bills energy plan won't work he needs massive amounts of gas for on demand generators to cover for renewables. The absolute joke is the emissions in fracking in Qld and possibly NT and building pipelines and these stations, will produce more emissions than high efficient coal generators. Not to mention for water and farm land it could be an ecological disaster

Shifty Bill at it again

Kidding, right?
Thing is in Australia if someone is smart and hard working enough to be say a dentist or a mining engineer and earn a heap of money to make themselves fairly wealthy from scratch, even if they are born into a poor family what is exactly stopping them? It's not like America where there is no Austudy payments or HECS system.
Plenty. Despite our admirable egalitarianism, Australia ain't Finland.

Poor people in this country have worse health, worse literacy, worse dental health, more domestic abuse, more exposure to drugs, more neighbourhood crime, higher rates of teen pregnancy, etc etc, all of which can militate against an individual even finishing high school, let alone considering higher education.

The Labor Party has removed mention of leader Bill Shorten from campaign material especially in marginal seats because of his poor rating among voters, The Australian reports.
There is no mention of him or even a photograph in the letters, flyers and postal voting applications distributed in nine Queensland seats, including Capricornia, Petrie, Dickson, Dawson, Bonner, Brisbane, Lilley or Moreton.

He is also not mentioned in some material used in deputy leader Tanya Plibersek's seat in Sydney, or in Barton or Griffith in NSW.

27 electorates and counting
So which is worse? A party removing its leader's name from its own advertising? Or a party removing itself from its own advertising?

Both parties suck on Adani. Labor shits on the Coalition on almost every other policy.

Poor people may be higher in all those stats and have disadvantages but there is still nothing to actually stop someone in Australia from getting higher education and therefore make themselves a lot of money if they want to.
