We just shut down a press conference of Federal Shadow Treasurer, Angus Taylor!
Shaun Murray, of Rising Tide asked:
"Why are you asking taxpayers to fund nuclear power, when it's going to drive up energy prices?"
Nuclear is too risky. Too costly. Too late.

I really wonder if it's possible that australia will come to see the horror they unleashed by immigration 'solutions' involving creating territorial leagalistic fictions and foreign states paid to go along with it.
This is someone talking about someone moving to the US, but this is true of *every* immigration system in the Western world. They're designed that way. (See that poor woman in the news this morning getting deported after thirteen years here because she had to travel to India for her academic work)
I feel like it is worth sharing here that... My husband is a citizen now, but we went through the immigration system in it's entirety and... As far as I can tell, even with a lawyer, it is nearly impossible to make it with zero mistakes. Even if you're careful, rules change constantly.
