Dear mhaze,

Only yours old chap. Figures like migration under Howard which you claimed hadn't even doubled when the true figure was not much shy of tripled.

I'm sure your latest bunch suffer a similar malaise but let's see.

Germany gets to preach to the rest of the world because their efforts now have renewables contributing over 35% of their power. In Australia it is less than 15%.

Germany employs nearly 30% of its workforce in industry while Australia is under 10%. Action on climate change doesn't seem to have retarded Germany one little bit.

Steele Reedux,
What is the score with Unions/striking in germany ?

What a useless waste of Abbott.

Well, Morrison’s insulting gift of something-or-other-to-do-with-aborigines to Abbott, and Abbott's pathetic acceptance of it has set the scene. I mean, how much more money and 'things’ have to be hurled at 4% of the population when nothing has worked in the past 230 years. Most descendants of the 'first people’ have already sorted themselves out, without all the bullsh-t and discrimination that has made a tiny minority of their fellows totally dependent on the state. But, Morrison remains Turnbull’s creature when it come to identify politics and big government.

Off topic, but it is my thread - America's Left loons have a lot in common with our Left loons in the case of deceased Republican jsenator, John McCain. Turnbull's biggest admirers were lefties who would never dream of voting for his party. And, similarly, only 41% of McCain's fellow Republicans had any time for him, while 60% of Democrats fancied him. All because he shared their hatred of Donald Trump, and, even though McCain was a "serial warmonger" supporting all of the military actions they deplored.

People sure are weird creatures.

What a useless waste of Abbott.
ttbn,
don't you mean is instead of, of ? Anyone who wants to bestow a knighthood onto one of the most privileged persons on the planet & asks for leniency for australian drug runners because Australia gave aid to the Tsunami disaster is as bad as one who gives a $28,000 payrise to already immorally over-paid bureaucrats. Such politicians need to go & thankfully they went.
Let's just pray the new bloke has his his head screwed on with a right-hand thread rather than a left-hand one.
My adivise to him is, don't raise the retirement age to 70 & sort out Centrelink & immigration.
Anyone who wants to work & is employable after 67 should be allowed to work but not be forced.
Anyone retired should not have their old age pension reduced just beuse thei're married to a working spouse. Immigration should be sorting Visa applications , not agents who go for the most able to pay!
