Rich people will be taxed 15% more on a fraction of their superannuation earnings.

It’s the end of the Australian dream!

Actually it's because the US sold them billions of dollars of planes and they need somewhere secure to train both pilots and ground crew.

Perhaps you might consider that your opinion of Qatar has been shaped by propoganda

It's a freaking training space for the aeroplanes they are selling them.

Singapore has the same deal.

You racists cvnts really need to have a hard look at yourselves.

And not give in to Mossad propaganda.

This is unbelievably bigoted and panders to racist stereotypes.

I see someone else has posted accurate information below, thank goodness.

"The colours on a butterfly’s wings are not trivial – they have been designed over millions of years... being colourful in the Amazon may be turning into a disadvantage"

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As forests are cut down, butterflies are losing their colours

The insects’ brilliant hues evolved in lush ecosystems to help them survive. Now they are becoming more muted to adapt to degraded landscapes – and they are not the only things dulling down

We have FTP and 5G and a family of gamers.

We stream and game because of our lightening fast connections and have had so since we moved here in 2019.

FTP connections increase your property value.

How to transmit energy from new generators across the vast distances of Qld & into the national grid? The Palaszczuk govt answer was the Copperstring project. Like the Abbott govt & NBN, you can imagine what the Crisafulli govt has now done to it. #qldpol reneweconomy.com.au/copperstring...

Also, it's for training Qatari pilots in the planes they bought in a multi billion dollar contract that is saving American jobs.

This is the weird place I find myself.

I'm very left wing. Always have been.

I had always thought of the US liberals as LW as well, but they aren't . Their left wing views appear to be quite narrow in scope.
