How much further right can they go?

Start building new coal power plants
reinstate white australia policy
reverse gay marriage

they could build new power plants that burn gays instead of coal and everyone who works there is white

sky news should have you got on the panel when i was watching this morning

Don't watch TV sorry. Why would anyone with the s**t that's produced?

I bet you follow it though. Seems the only time I hear about Sky is when some clown who doesn't even support them watches it and has a whinge about them.

I do work a lot though so see all the business closing and jobs going unfilled.

Why do you think that is? Bit of a lazy parasite class forming?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Yeah deleting that was probably the right call Bosto (if it was you who did)

 

[Caesar]

It's hard to argue against dental and mental health being included in Medicare...imo of course.

Dental is excruciatingly expensive, Grattan Institute estimates it would drive up the cost of Medicare by about 20% (and that is probably conservative)

 

[Bostonian]

Of course it wasn't.

You can say whatever you want about Scumo and his cronies but you can't say what you liked about the other side even if they are just as vile.

I'd accept a 20-30% increase for dental and another 10-20% for mental health, and I'm a RWNJ.

I don't want to pay a cent more than I currently do in tax. I also want more social services available for people who struggle.

I don't think it's one or the other. We are talking billions in wasted money on government projects, and that's just the ones we know about.

 

[Kram]

I disagreed with what you said but whatever seems to go just fine for other public figures.

Just tax billionaires and all the miners more!

All politicians should be open for ridicule and derision.

Especially the career ones.

 

[Bostonian]

We live in a nation that discourages people from working their arses off to better their and their families lives to the max.

Instead the harder you work the more the Government steals off you.

Rather than the sensible and reasonable ideal that the more you work the less tax you should pay on the overtime hours.

 

[Off The Couch]

There’s a difference between ridicule and derision and just plain disgusting

I have (regularly) seen worse from mods, true. Still a pretty bad post though.

That was tame.

Should I have said they are a massive arse kisser, brown nose?

Are those very common terms acceptable to the fragile types?

You’re all class, aren you?

if the workers collectively owned the means of production they would have a vested interest in businesses not closing

 

[Lebbo73]

Are they going to take on the risk of going broke as well?

 

[Bostonian]

Are they going to stump up all the money, risk and time required to start and run that business?

thats only an issue when you look at a backwards

in a much better system there would be no class divisions between people and therefore no money, so no business could ever go broke

people would no longer see the acquisition of material wealth as the main motivator in their lives, and they could focus on improving themselves and the rest of humanity

Oh a socialist, right.

It's not a better system. It rewards a lazy worker the same as a hard worker. * that.

 

[Nothing]

Dental is excruciatingly expensive, Grattan Institute estimates it would drive up the cost of Medicare by about 20% (and that is probably conservative)

Dental health is a leading indicator of future health costs. A 20% cost seems small in that context.

nah socialism didnt work

mine is a whole new thing

the concept of reward is old people thinking, it wont exist in a post revolutionary utopia, people wont need to be rewarded when they have everything

So in your system If half the people decide to not work at all the other half have to provide them with everything they want?

that wouldnt happen because people would want to
