Opinion AUSTRALIAN Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[kirky]

I for one am all for changing the date. Even let the Indigenous elders come up with one. I dont care. But have you stopped to think for a minute as to why they havent. My old boss once said to me, dont come to me with problems, come to me with solutions. Right now we have only seen protests and no solutions. They haven't proposed a date because they dont want to celebrate it. There is no end game other than to end Australia Day all together.

Your old boss is a smart man. I operated the same with my staff. If you got a problem, you better come with a solution as who knows your solution might be better than the one I had or it might be combination of both.

Too many these days spend most of their time coming up with excuses, rather than using their energies to fix things.

Unfortunately many people are just a waste of time in the work environment, so best to associate with those who are actually doers.

Strange move with the housing crisis so much in the news.

Master Builders Association lead outcry over proposed changes to garage sizes in SA planning laws​

Proposed planning laws that require new homes to have bigger garages would price South Aussies out of owning a home – adding “tens of thousands” to the cost, the industry haswarned.

I don't agree with increasing garage sizes. How about we reign in truck sizes a bit and encourage more cycling and public transport so we have fewer cars. Mali is a good politician (knowing how to keep power) but weak on policy.

Master builders are campaigners who only have the interests of developers and big shit box volume builders. Any extra dollar that will be required to be spent by builders, even if for a very good cause (see energy efficiency), they will cry against and produce some phony numbers to scare people. **** them

They can (and do) encourage all they want... but in the end they have to bow to the reality that people are buying these massive tanks in ever increasing numbers. There's a difference between idealism and realism, and unfortunately the yank tanks are on the realism side of the equation.

Up to you. You be wrong.

What is this “cat” stuff?

Never had a cat, don’t own a cat and prefer dogs, thank you very much.

The only good cat is a dead cat, just like John Walmsley, who wore them as a hat.

Get back on your meds.

Solar continues to grow in NSW to new record highs, but so does overall demand... so not sure Dutton's assumptions of Australia reducing it's power needs is realistic.

New records for solar and coal underscore urgent energy challenge facing NSW

Australia’s biggest coal state continues to reach new solar heights, but a different sort of generation record shows its ongoing dependence on aging, increasingly unreliable fossil plants.

Lol, One Nation are irrelevant in Australia, particularly outside Queensland. Only 4 senators who have little influence thankfully as only a very small minority of mainly racists vote for them.

I would say it's a close call between Albo, Crudd, Gillard and Morrison.

Sad state of affairs when SA Police need to warn the community to beware of far right threatening Australian Day protests.

Can we just have a peaceful Australia Day please.

Govt net debt 3/2020 -$430b (before the pandemic)
Govt net debt 5/2022 - $517b
Gove net debt 11/2024 - $515b

It's true we should vote for the party who makes the least $ promises. Will you vote this way?

Spot on, a point I made also, I hate the bloody things especially if you're parked between 2 on a city street and you basically have to back out blind and hope any approaching motorist senses that and doesn't T-Bone you.

Thanks to mining export prices and barely nothing anything else of any note.

We fact checked Jim Chalmers on the amount of debt Labor left the Coalition. Here's what we found

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says that Labor inherited a trillion dollars of "Liberal debt" when it came to office, and that Labor's share of that, left to the previous Coalition government was "a tiny fraction". RMIT ABC Fact Check runs the numbers.

Jim Chalmers says the Coalition racked up all but a 'tiny fraction' of $1 trillion in debt left to Labor. Is that correct?​

This is politics 101.

Both parties always blame the outgoing government for all of Australia's problems.

Bottom line Bicks is the coalition kesp going on about how they manage the budget better, yet post Costello, the Coalition have averaged bigger deficits.

We are coming up to an election, which means both parties are going to promise the world. Chris Richardson said we should vote in the party who promises the least new $ spend. Will you?
