SteeleRedux,
Own Goals aren’t quite the same as proper ones !

Dear Indyvidual,

Well they are a far cry from this bloke's goals which seem to be to look after our country's billionaires and their interests by being flown into their private parties to say stuff like this:

“We need to hear more teachers tell the students that the roads, the bridges, the railways that we travel on have been constructed thanks to your sector. Too many of our teachers are telling kids to be ashamed of the fact that their parents work in the mining sector. We need to turn that around.”

He also referred to Gina's own mine as a "national treasure".

Gee whizz he must make you proud.

SteeleRedux,
Can you point out the differences between the Albo gang flights paid for by the Tax payers & private enterprise paid charters ?

Indyvidual- With the greatest of respect sir. Science is descriptive not ethical nor purposeful nor meaningful- the domain of religion and tradition. I trust bogan's more- at least they are our people- we need to reach out. Drug use is a symptom of loss of meaning, purpose, community.

Young BA Grads seemingly indoctrinated by Anti-Traditionalist Revisionist Locke Liberal Woke Communist Universities that reject the deep ancestral knowledge of the west in favour of denialist nihilism. Sun Tzu says- you take away what the enemy needs they will listen to you. Deneen wrote the book "Why Liberalism Failed" both on the Communist and Capitalist side (Liberalism is essentially the belief that freedom without principles or tradition is the way to govern the world so long as you don't restrict the freedoms of others- Traditional Aristotelian Government OTOH says that freedom is not doing what you want but having self control according to traditional principles.).

But yes the church has become corrupted by wokeness and communism too.
In a sense (Western) Christianity is a concatenation of Roman/ Nordic and Christian Traditions. It is not a modern form of Judeism with an extra messiah. In Nietzschian parlance Western Christianity combines the Slave and Knightly Codes balancing kindness with responsibility- tough love.

ttbn- Kudos sir.
Yes maybe the 80/20 Pareto rule should apply here too. 80% of GNP should be native and X Exports should be at parity or better.
GNP= C + I + G + X (Gross National Product)
where X = Exports - Imports
and GDP= C + I + G (Gross Domestic Product)
C = Consumption
I = Investment
G = Government Spending

But some consumption and investment is better than others. Perhaps a nation can make itself stronger through investment in durable goods rather than consumer goods. Of course leaders need vision in order to understand how this will work.

If houses are more durable less housing workers are required which means there will be more unemployed- how do you manage and create purpose and meaning in society in this case. Cause and effect

I trust bogan's more- at least they are our people- we need to reach out

Canem Malum,
I don’t disagree. A Bogan to my understanding was akin to an indifferent, selfish yobbo. Looks like I was wrong

No problems Indyvidual. Everyone gets it wrong sometimes. You get things right 95% of the time in my view.
