I meant that what you suggest isn't going to happen, so there's not much point in talking about it.

But, if Australia was a "real democracy", after the budget and the Albanese Soviet government's actions over the last four years, and we had CIRs, there would be enough signatures to force an early election.

But, as we are not real democracy - not just allowed to vote for the same people every three tears, with neither of them getting in on the popular vote - there's no point talking about that either. Australia continues to be rooted. And it will remain so until preferential voting is scrapped.

Runner,

Yes. The Tame business is a disgrace; but, remember, she lost all her speaking engagements and support after publicly calling for the slaughter of Jews (that's what intifada is: killing) and she will be on the bones of her arse.

Think of it this way - if the ABC is the only one to take her on, she is real rubbish.

I actually think it's good that the ABC gave Grace Tame a job.
It's like a call to all the whiney b*tches to publicly identify themselves.

You know seriously I might be willing to actually earn my second comment deletion just to have my 2 cents here...

First thoughts

'What a bunch of fekken homos'.

How many of you were planning on actually listening to Graces's four-part podcast, 'Autistic AF with Grace Tame', which discusses aspects of women’s experience with autism in Australia?

NONE OF YOU.
You weren't going to listen to the show, but you're all spastically bent out of shape.

And what because a person who was once Australian of the Year gets a little radio time ffs?

This has always been about fake outrage by the Jewish lobby trying to cancel Grace Tame because she supported Palestinians, they've been somewhat successful in this regard.
Just as they attack anyone who doesn't parrot their bs.

All's I see is that you all seem to be climbing over each other like a bunch of depraved schoolgirls at a rock concert trying to argue which one of you traitors puts Israel first more than the others.

'I sucked 2 Jewish dicks this week, ner ner I'm better than you'
'Well nice try and ner ner to you, because I sucked 5.'
- Like I said, bunch of homos.

The reason why fuel and food and everything else has gone up this year is because of you traitorous Jewish-narrative-repeating genocide supporters.

Israel first grumblers have become worse than a stadium full of whinging poms.

Constantly attacking and trying to cancel everyone, to protect the vile and repulsive state of Israel.
Youse are the ones making yourselves look like NAZI's.

'Autistic AF with Grace Tame'
- Really, this upsets you?

It's because you care more about Israel that letting Grace waffle on about whatever bs she wishes to.

"About 2 million aged pensioners are living in a owner occupied house, with no mortgage. Means test the house, and pay down the pension to cover the million dollars in assets. That would immediately reduce the aged welfare payout by about $47 billion. Those who agree to give up this housing largesse could be housed in government provided barrack style accommodation, one bedroom pre-fabs would be cheap and quick to build, temporary accommodation could be provided in tent encampments on the margins of cities and towns, close to churches and cemeteries, while older folk are waiting for work and housing reassignment. The new supply of existing housing would be used to house more productive people, solving the housing problem overnight! A win win situation for all."

In this 'kick em out, take their homes and stick em in dog-kennels on the outskirts of town and trample on their dignity' 'plan'...

Will the homes be going to needy Australians, or Albo's foreign imports?
Just out of curiosity you know, because it kind of seems a little drastic.

'The name Grace Tame MUST BE PERMANENTLY STRICKEN FROM RECORD!'
You all wonder why this country has gone to shite, look at yourselves.
I'd be crying, if it wasn't so funny that Grace Tame has had such a negative impact on your day.

As for the 6% pay rise for workers.
Everyone appreciates a few extra dollars, but is the country trying to make itself more uncompetitive than it already is.
This news will undoubted help the Australian Toaster Manufacturing Company compete with those cheap $12 Chinese models, I'm certain of it.

An increase in wages is ineffective.
Because such an increase is always offset by an increase in the price of goods.
So wage earners are back to square one.
Any increase in wages must be balanced by a decrease elsewhere.
For example, the government could take control of the price of land.
Land is free for the government to allocate.
Having the cost of services added right at the start might seem legitimate.
But to allow that cost to inflate the price of land for evermore is not.
The price of land and provision of services need to be two separate items.
And perhaps those who pay the upfront cost of services should not pay for ongoing maintenance.
For at least twenty years anyway.
Lower land prices should enable the lowering of rents.
That should lead to the lowering of costs.
The price of land has spiralled absurdly out of control.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars just to have access to a small piece of land is stupid.
Remember the land itself is free.

Hi Ipso Fatso,

"An increase in wages is ineffective.Because such an increase is always offset by an increase in the price of goods"

I would suggest that inflation is generally price driven, and not wage driven. It is relatively easy to increase prices, where as to increase wages is much more difficult, involving long drawn out court cases. The current wage case is based on the past 12 months and what inflationary effect there has been in the economy in that period.
