$100 million for AUKUS sub cup holders - would be a HUGE waste of money, because we all know the subs will never be delivered.

The "existential threat" to Australia is the multinational corporation.
An entity with the powers of a God. Take our resources, use our services. Trash the place. Corrupt our politics. Deliver nothing in return. Take no responsibility.

I handed out HTV cards for the Greens for several years in Bennelong.
ALP, Indies, and Family First were all friendly and nice.
The Libs volunteers were frequently aggressive, intimidatory, and obnoxious.

I know the courts must be fair, but they are frequently far too lenient with these deluded fools who believe the laws don't apply to them.

No longer a party for the workers or the people, the ALP have finally revealed their true motivation:
ALP =
Always Love Profits
Another LNG Payday
Approves Large Pipelines
Amplifying LNG Profits
Abetting Large Polluters

I think you can own as many as you want, but negative gearing should be limited to one property only.
Why should taxpayers cover your poor investment choices?
The capital gains discount should also be scrapped because its sole purpose is to incentivise housing ahead of more productive investments.

Ever wonder why the tech bros are so obsessed with AI and robots?
Because the hired henchmen in their post-civilisation compounds are just as likely to kill them and take the riches for themselves.
So they are desperate to create an autonomous robot army to protect themselves from the angry mobs.

Why do we (and by 'we' I mean the media), still persist with the outmoded notion the ALP and LNP are two separate entities, when it is clear to anyone with even a modest interest in politics, that they are two cheeks of the same festered arse.

The deal needs to be kept secret because once the public find out there is an agreement to use Australia as a nuclear waste dump, they will go ballistic.

Yep, the priorities that provide incomprehensibly generous fossil fuel subsidies, while ignoring systemic tax avoidance and malfeasance in the corporate sector.
