From the flow-on of a 12 months national service we'd just about achieve most of those lists in a couple of decades.
The open ended handout policies of now clearly aren't nation building.

I've got to agree with morganzola when he said:

@morganzola: Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding your one-line comments increasingly hard to decipher lately.

So no, it's not just you. I am tempted to add some snide remark here, but that would be inappropriate, particularly as you seem to be enjoying your sparing match with him. Got for it.

Ho Hum,
This thread can be likened to a Tennis Match at last years' Wimbledon, where two unfortunate players played for hours on end (many hours on end-because they were playing point for point), like I have said on a few occasions on a few topics, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and shouldn't be lambasted for stating it. This place is like a war zone. Zzzzzzzzzzzz........ boring!

Kerryanne,

Your proposals are scary, tariffs stop trade, and are being removed around the world. No party is seriously proposing this.

As for "Anyway if YOU want kids may I ask why I* should pay for you to have them?" Are you advocating for the abolition of public schools too?

My kids are way past pre school, and the reason to encourage women back to work is for gender equality, and to improve productivity, by encouraging smart women to be part of the work force.

As for nuclear, It is well known that there is no viable renewable low cost base load.

@rstuart:

Thanks, but it's actually quite tedious. What's worse is that I've been genuinely trying to find out what he's on about on various threads, but it's really hard to avoid sounding snide or condescending when confronted by willful ignorance dressed up as a cryptic one-liner.

That said, I only engage with him if he posts something ignorant about a topic that matters to me, as part of my increasing interest in agnotology, as I described back up this thread. Some people here make classic case studies :)

I dont know what your so upset about. You got 3 out of 5 of your policys passed.

*Are you advocating for the abolition of public schools too?*

NO of course not and may i say what a irrational response .
What I did say I made clear and thee is no need to re- state my policy or explain why.
Schools do need looking at however. I think kids from different religion & background should attend as one.

**My kids are way past pre school, and the reason to encourage women back to work is for gender equality, and to improve productivity, by encouraging smart women to be part of the work force.**

Yes good point but not a good reason for the public to pay*

*As for nuclear, It is well known that there is no viable renewable low cost base load.*

After Japan several countries are scrapping them- No we only need an earth Q or some drama and things can go very wrong. We have seen it happen. That is why I failed you on that policy.

Three out of 5 isn't bad though.

Have a nice evening
