No. Just the "humour".

Oh and what, pray tell, is your characterisation of the things I like in life?

This will be fun.

If people can't see that this federal government took the opportunity of this pandemic to smash the living sh*t out of the tertiary education sector, I don't know what to say to them. It's so blatantly clear, they haven't even tried to hide it.

Given you replied to a post initially directed at me, I’ll assume the following in my response to you: 1) you’re a leftie because you’re a host mod 2) your post related to me even if indirectly.

So read carefully: I didn’t write or imply that the education sector hasn’t suffered funding cuts during COVID, rather, I wrote to advise the 100% leftie hemp loving YouTube conspiracy theorist Stan, that no legitimate political authority in Australia goes out to deliberately limit education opportunities for a group of Australians so as to keep that group down. It’s a ridiculous suggestion.

Edit: My mistake, I see that you’re not a host mod yet, but your prospects seem good ;-)

 

[Deliverance]

you started the debate about private vs public by suggesting there was no difference at all between them

My bad. Thought I was just following on from the discussion that already began.

i question the track record of our current liberal federal government, where I can't really point to any vision or policy that seems to improve education. And obviously big steps backwards by excluding education (tertiary sector) from Jobkeeper during the lockdowns. Ongoing cuts to higher education, increased user pays fees (that applies to both sides of politics but more the liberals)
its not unreasonable to believe that the liberals want to keep many dumb and manipulated into voting for them for the sole purpose of retaining power and continuing corrupt behaviour

It’s a baseless belief the expression of which avoids unreasonableness purely because you admitted there’s no real foundation for that specific accusation, and the fact it’s election season.

I thought I said no foundation to find a policy that lnp have done to improve education, and while both sides have stripped down tertiary more of it has occurred under lnp watch (possibly due to more time in power). The tropes of lnp being party of business profiting from the oppression (underpayment and removal of conditions) of workers is valid imo. Keeping workers dumb is a key plank

I don't know what a host is

As for being a "leftie", what tripe. I don't talk too much about myself on here but suffice to say, if the "lefties" ever got into power I'd be out of a job and my career would be over due to the industry I work in. So no, I'm not a "leftie". The tag has little and diminishing meaning in Australia. The use of it, more often than not, just signifies the user is a dickhead.

There are indirect effects to every political decision. That’s a far cry from accusing a government of deliberately setting out to keep a group of Australians down. It’s a ridiculous accusation.

It’s similar imo to accusations that the labor party sabotage business and want to wage a class war. I’m just adopting the language of our political leadership

I concede, I take back my post insofar as labelling you a leftie. However, if you don’t mind I’d prefer to leave my post there for the true lefties and of course for Stanley..

Explain why our Unis were denied jobkeeper while billions was wasted on their donors m8?

Host Patrol?

Is that some kind of religious designation?

Part 1: Education policies over the decades have intensified socio-economic segregation - Pearls and Irritations

As prime minister, John Howard, along with his education minister David Kemp, drove the push to privatise schooling in line with their political philosophy. In 2007, education professor Max Angus described the system in these terms. “The Australian education system … is evolving into something...

Part 2: Society bears costs of education policy ‘crimes’ - Pearls and Irritations

In most other countries it would be hard for a government to persuade an electorate it was dealing with widespread economic hardship while it was funding private schools with resources beyond the dreams of avarice. Despite the fact that its funding policy removed the downward pressure on private...

I refer to your signature, it reminds me of Toxoplasma gondii, which is spread via cat excrement. It is perhaps most famous for some of its claimed effects on human behaviour. Toxoplasmosis infections have been associated with an increase in aggressive and impulsive behaviours, a reduced perception of risk, and an increased probability of developing psychotic symptoms.

This explains you attacking lefties at every opportunity.

That's irrelevant. I'm not the one claiming enlightenment via feline intervention.

If you are going to attack perceived lefties with unhinged rants, expect pushback.

The opposite also applies btw.

You’re advocating LW policies during election season, I’m advocating the opposite and you consider that attacking?
