Opinion AUSTRALIAN Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[kirky]

Have you deleted your post where you said you vote for Party with the best policies?

If not you best get to it if you want any sort of credibility.

Well that discounts the Coalition then - nuclear is a thought bubble, never going to happen in the next 3 years more like 15+ years.

So Dutton isn't copying some of Trump's ideas...

It's doubtful that Musk won't try & influence the next Australian election... & probably already discussed plans with Reinhardt.

From Doge to Smoge, Peter Dutton’s Coalition is an eerie echo of Trump (and Musk’s) America

Dutton’s cabinet reshuffle added the shadow minister of government efficiency role to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s position – but it sounds a bit familiar

Gina is one of the Mr Potato Head’s friends and given she was at Mar-a-Lago it doesn’t take much to join the dots.

Then you have Sussan Ley with this corker. She literally is as “dumb as a sack of rocks”. Can be on the first ship to Mars?

Ley compares First Fleet to Musk's Mars mission in Australia Day speech

Sussan Ley says Australia Day is a day of celebration, likening the arrival of the British First Fleet to Elon Musk's efforts to build a colony on Mars.

$3.5 Billion well spent...hardly...Another cost to the ballooning debt caused by Labor's headlong rush into renewables...

Ridiculous that the uber wealthy and well off also got the $325 with so many living below the povert line, a case of putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.

David Pocock calls universal support "ridiculous"​

The full package of energy bill relief, which also includes $325 in bill relief for a million small businesses, costs $3.5 billion. It will apply to bills in the 2024-25 financial year.


It will first require legislation, which the Coalition has signalled it will support despite Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor accusing the government of taking a "bandaid" approach to cost of living pressures rather than addressing the underlying causes of inflation.

But the Greens and independent senator David Pocock have been more critical.

Senator Pocock told the ABC it was "ridiculous" to make the measure universal.

"I think maybe politicians are just out of touch. We've got three million Australians living in poverty in this country, and you're going to give me and other politicians on six figure salaries $300," he said.

"It doesn't make sense to me."

Grattan Institute CEO Aruna Sathanapally agreed the measure was not "well-targeted", suggesting this was not the optimal way to design cost-of-living relief.

ACOSS chief executive Cassandra Goldie said the energy bill relief, combined with the universal tax cuts announced earlier this year, made for a "gaping hole" in the budget.

"The government is deliberately and cruelly denying people receiving unemployment payments decent income support … The $300 energy rebate will be the only cash support the majority of people on JobSeeker and Youth Allowance will receive."

You have already been called out the national net debt is not increasing as you keep saying. Gross debt is not net debt but I don’t expect someone with your limited financial acumen to understand that concept at all.

You are going back over to May last year - you have no new material. Noticed you don’t attach the link so here it is

Giving $300 energy bill relief to everyone was the easiest way to help, treasurer says

The federal budget has revealed every household will be receiving a $300 energy discount.

Nice one ALP, a violent criminal detainee released by the High Court on Labor's dumpster fire shambles watch continues to commit violent crimes even when given a second chance. Do your job Mark Dreyfuss and deport the lowlife scum.

Suspected former Apex gang member among growing number of released detainees charged with criminal offences​

A man who was allegedly part of the notorious Apex street gang then freed from immigration detention following a High Court ruling has been accused of being involved in a terrifying attempted home invasion.

A suspected former member of the notorious Apex street gang freed from immigration detention following a landmark court ruling has been accused of committing further crimes.
The Herald Sun can reveal the hoodlum, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is among the growing number of released detainees who have been charged with criminal offences since the High Court set them free in November 2023.

He was facing deportation to Sudan after having his visa cancelled when sentenced to 16 months in youth detention for a violent carjacking in which he held a sawn-off shotgun to his victim’s head.

Now 27, and having been given a second chance at turning his life around in Australia, police allege he was involved in a terrifying attempted home invasion months after being given bail for allegedly handling stolen goods.
He is accused of being among a group of men who surrounded a home in Melbourne’s southeast, climbing on the roof and smashing in the windows in a terrifying ordeal for the residents bunkered down inside.

It is alleged the offenders armed themselves with a hammer and angle grinder.

The shocking details emerged in the Supreme Court last week as the thug desperately applied to be released back on the streets pending his court case.
The accused has been charged with attempted aggravated home invasion, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years’ jail.

He is also facing two counts of criminal damage, three counts of unlawful assault and a possession of cannabis charge.

News of his release from immigration detention back into the community – and his subsequent arrest – outraged the family of one of his past victims.

“I feel sick,” the mother, whose son went on to take his own life after he was the victim of the terrifying armed carjacking, told the Herald Sun.

“Because of him, I don’t have my son.

“He doesn’t deserve to be here.”
He was among hundreds of criminals who were cut loose on the nation’s streets after the High Court ruled a stateless Rohingya man, known only as NZYQ and convicted of child sex abuse, could not be indefinitely detained.

A year on from the ruling, which threw the immigration detention system into chaos, Home Affairs officials told a Senate estimates hearing in November at least 215 detainees had been released.

Of those, 65 had gone on to be charged with state and territory offences as of October 18 last year.

You obviously gloss over the fact that countries like Britian and even the State of California's electricity prices have increased threefold since they went down the 100% renewables path.

Similar is happening in Australia with pensioners and low income families that can no longer afford to put the heater on in freezingly cold days or to even think of turning on the air conditioner on stinking hot days if they have one of course and still afford essentials like food on the table, rent etc.
Things that those better off like you and me take for granted. That obviously doesn't come into your renewables equation.

So which electricity sources cost the most?

It's almost like you still don't realise that renewables are cheaper & don't recognise that most of the old coal power stations are coming to an end...

Ask your mates Malinauskas and Koutsantonis , they're the ones that's just sought the permission of AEMO to bring the 2 mothballed dirty diesel generators if and when required. Doesn't sound like they're too confident to me.

AEMO permitted to switch on South Australian diesel generators during shortfall

Six months after they were mothballed by their parent company two diesel generators could be turned back on to help power South Australia this summer.

And yet another detainee released under Labor's shambolic high Court stuff up.

How many more to come I wonder..

Emran Dad, 33, preyed on children within a month of being released from immigration detention​

It can be revealed a former ringleader of a child exploitation gang was jailed after admitting to multiple breaches of his reporting obligations as a registered sex offender.

The former ringleader of a child exploitation gang preyed on children online within a month of being released from immigration detention.
The Herald Sun can reveal Emran Dad, 33, was last year jailed for six months after admitting to multiple breaches of his reporting obligations as a registered sex offender.

The convicted pedophile’s phone and internet use had been restricted, and he was not to have contact with minors without police approval.

But soon after being released in November 2023 following the High Court ruling against indefinite detention of asylum seekers, he created email, TikTok, Instagram and Bigo accounts and started talking to underage girls.
His six-month punishment meant he was under the 12-month sentence threshold which immediately activates deportation.

The Herald Sun understands he has been charged again over family violence and visa breaches since his release from prison.

Getting whipped up into a frenzy again. How many has it been so far? Is this a current story or just another old story you are regurgitating?

He was required to be released by a High Court decision and the Herald Sun “understands” - so has he or hasn’t he, what is with this “understands”.

These sorts of individuals are going to re-offend, it is what they do. Solve the cause, you then solve the problem.

Spin whatever way you like it was a monumental **** up by Dreyfuss when he should have left it well alone and then that useless excuse for an immigration Minister Andrew Giles totally ****ed it up..To Albanese;s credit he pissed Giles off eventually.
