I don't when people will wake up and realise secession of South Australia from Australia is inevitable.

They could still use our currency and travel into our states (with the right checks and permits).

They'd be like a less classy, more lawless version of Nauru.

great read.

great read.

Sadly elite boys/girls schools have always had these issues.
Rich parents and cultures letting their kids do whatever they want and allowing it to be covered up.
Creates the type of people you see in the media and sports world we have now.
Pretty terrible stuff.

I knew people involved in the republican movement from a long time ago who thought Turnbull was always full of it and sold that movement out with the referendum in return for Howard's support in getting into parliament. And so everything he did I saw thru that lens and its kind of exactly where we are now. ie Turnbull could have done a proper job with the NBN (instead of doing a proper job on it if you know what I mean,) then run for election on a progressive, liberal platform against the right wing extremists in the liberal party but he didn't have the balls or conviction to do it. I think it was always more about him than anything else when he got into parliament.

He could have done that. It would have taken some courage sure, but isn't that what political leadership is about?

Sadly, this is most likely 100% correct.

I'm not necessarily a fan of Fraser but he did show political courage when he championed a regional solution to the boat people who were fleeing Vietnam. (Although back then the Liberal and Labor parties were openly anti racism and pro racial tolerance. The Liberal party ended the White Australia policy and drove the 1967 referendum. The ALP under Whitlam began the land rights program and Fraser carried it on without question. That was the trend in the country till Hanson came along.)

What real courage have our leaders shown since? Howard with gun control? Maybe? Gillard's ETS? Maybe? Rudd's mining tax? Maybe but it seemed like a bit of a stunt following his other emissions related failures.

Considering the challenges we've faced since the turn of the century that's **** all gutsy politics.

Even Tulsi is championing the win..
Is she pure political point scoring?

Surprised me for a sec that she's not in office anymore, but all the Hawaiians I've met have been very socially conservative. Small sample size, but possibly relevant.

She has also been very consistent on the purported threat of crt, if memory serves

I think leaving office was a personal choice, from memory she was against career politicians.
she’ll probably pop as a talking head on fox soon.

“Although it sees the world through much the same ideological lens as do corporate and government elites, the press must occasionally report some of the unpleasantness of life, if only to maintain its credibility with a public that is not always willing to buy the far-right line. On those occasions, rightists complain bitterly about a left bias.”

“Racism is especially useful when channeling the economic fears and anger of Whites away from employers and toward out-groups who are seen as competitors for scarce jobs, education, and housing.”

“it is not socialism that subverts democracy, but democracy that subverts capitalism.”

“Between 1880 and 1931 the courts issued more than 1,800 injunctions to suppress labor strikes. Labor “combinations” (unions) were declared a violation of due process, a way of coercively extracting wealth from decent defenseless rich employers. Collective bargaining, it was maintained, deprived both owner and worker of “freedom of contract.” (Sound familiar?) By 1920, pro-business federal courts had struck down roughly three hundred labor laws passed by state legislatures to ease inhumane working conditions.”

“ You dont know your wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day
People who think they're free in this world just haven't come to the end of their leash yet.”

There you go. Four "nailed its" in a minute.
