Yeah exactly. Truly snowflake material, but also displaying signs of a strategy, given that their voters have carved off to other parties.

They are showing signs of Maga like behavour.

National too left for my liking, the woke part!

You're getting quite emotional and violent in your posts. Maybe you shouldn't post for a while. Are you doing okay?

But seriously don't rewrite history.

Violent and emotional???

You have really lost the plot!

You’re just trolling now. Nothing to add to any debates.

I used to appreciate your passion for your side but lately you’ve just gone irrational and troll like.

Going on my blocked list.

Finally!

Any thoughts on the Opportunity Party? Are they radical progressives, or just neoliberals disguised as Greens?

Nothing concrete, they had a donation from someone sketchy if I recall but I haven't checked them out at,all

That’s more like TPM

1) This is the crux of the issue. The left sees the govt as the solution, the right sees them as the problem. Seriously though, show me one problem that the govt has solved by spending taxpayers dollars on?

2) And we aren't even talking about tax breaks, there's 100's of regulations and red tape that turns a profitable enterprise into an unprofitable one. How much tax income do you get from a closed business? How many employees? The short term thinking is taking someone elses hard earned income and pissing it up against the wall.


3) See right here, you've picked winner and losers based of your own bias. The correct choice is no subsidies but also no impediments of which there will be plenty.


4) No one is taking. Capitalism is the voluntary exchange between two parties. Taylor Swift never forced anyone to buy her music.

1) Waterview tunnel
2) I was talking about tax breaks. Regulations is a different beast. Some things need to be regulated less, some need to be regulated more (dentists).
3) They aren't really biases, more like observations and best guesses. I assume that if there was a Robbie williams tour here that the goverment paid into, he wouldn't bring tourists as people in aus would stay there. But a Lions tour or America's cup, people come here because there is no alternative. Swifties would be a different beast as there aren't enough concerts to go around. So people from aus might come here.
4) You misunderstood. The money I am talking about taking, is government giving to those people like Robbie Williams. Not a voluntary exchange between two parties.
