1d2isfz | If it's being genuine yes.
The issue is they aren't
they are stealing from the GOP playbook,block anything,counteract any govt policy they can get away with
then you can say..Well look the ALP didn't get anything done..well no shit cause ur spending every waking moment in the press undermining the govt. | 0 |

1cpqqgf | >“The average skilled visa holder offers a fiscal dividend of $250,000 over their lifetime in Australia.”
>Typically, they’ve been educated before their arrival in Australia, or have paid for their own education here, he says. Then they work for 30 to 40 years, because they come through that program in their 20s.
And yet the median age of permanent migrants is 37 years, while the median age of the whole Australian population is 38 years.
All those family reuinion and partner visas for each skilled visa holder surely dilutes that $6000 a year 'divdend'... | 0 |
1d1mf9x | I'd pay the amount you think it would cost to cater for your husband ($100-$200). Lower end if appetisers or buffet, higher end for sit down, full booze package etc. You've already covered yourself. | 1 |
1d4qkqz | I am always confused by people "complaining" about deals like this for police/nurses/teachers etc. The deals they have in place are reflective of societies desire and need to do that particular job. It's supply and demand of labour. Literally the most basic tenant of capitalism.
This post points out that the requirements for the job aren't high. Sure. But yet we can't get enough people to apply for the job. So you have to increase incentives.
Same applies to teachers. Want more "better" (not even going to delve into what better means or how you quantify that) PAY THEM MORE.
It's not about making the qualifications easier or lowering the bar to entry. It's about making the job more attractive.
We are happy to pay CEOs million to get the best candidate. I don't see the problem with apply this logic to cops and teachers and nurses etc.
This rant made sense in my ADHD brain. Hope it makes sense to others lol | 0 |

1d36p9f | Personal experience of never living in a city or a big town, but near a tourist town. But no one I know around here wants anymore people, when tourist season comes the region becomes a nightmare. Impossible to move machinery between places, can’t do the speed limit cause tourists just stop in the middle of the road in a 110 section. And the price of land near town, which is already high, keeps getting pushed up cause people want holiday homes. If you try and build new cities, there’s a lot of factors to consider. Especially the impact on the existing community, and the existing industry. Here it’s almost all agriculture and mining. You try and build a city then you impact both those industries which especially in the case of agriculture, Australia needs. I think what should happen is the capital cities be built better, expand upwards rather than outwards. Saves looking for places for new cities | 0 |
1d2fira | Came to post same URL. It's also said that wagging is also 'disapproval'. There is the phrase, 'wagging your finger' at something. You're oscillating your index finger side to side in a motion that infer something you're disapproving off.
Not attending school is the ultimate disapproval. | 0 |

1cwhypl | i mean fair
i don't get a power bill per se
But 75 bucks a bill,for ppl who have seen their bills go up 200 or more is pretty pointless
The small business one is even more stupid
Cafe's with gas stoves,and gas heaters and all the power bills,are probably blowing through that 325 in a week lol,why even bother
Issue is the energy company's have no way to know a customers wealth bracket so it would be impossible to roll it out based on ur income
I know there is a fine line to tread due to inflation,but both parties budget and budget replys,just seemed shit
The rental allowance one might as well not even been announced,the increase is way less than most renters have seen in an increase in teh last year | 0 |
1cx0m02 | Nah.
We had 0 migration in '20 and '21. The extra was just to offset our loss in migration.
The housing shortage has existed for over 10 years outside of the cities. 0.x% rental vacancy rates as well.
This problem was started by John Howard in the 90s and balloned during the Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison era.
That's why Labor ran on housing reform in 2013, 2016 and 2019. Yet, Australians did not believe the housing crisis existed until it hit the cities. So now we're in a fucked position. Covid LNP money printing added to the problem, too, in the way of increasing interest rates.
I know it's both easy and lazy to blame migrants, and that is what Australians love. But it's far better to be accurate and to live in truth. | 0 |
1cpqqgf | >Funny how Leith Van Olsen just straight up says if you don't live in a detached house, you are strictly worse off.
The current reality is: yes, you are worse off *if you view strictly through the prism of "how much can I flog my home for later?"*
If you value other aspects (convenience, lower price, location, not needing a backyard and etc) then the equation changes, but since a majority of the economy is tied into "homes increase in price", state govt gets most of its income in "homes increase in price" and most of the media literally has a stake in "homes increase in price", then you have the current reality.
Strictly focusing on detached homes as the only options mean transport and services struggle to scale and serve the new areas, this has been a known problem forever as well.
But at the end of the day, it is hilarious listening to those that value freedom of choice and what not turning around and saying "no, the only shelter worth building is shelter that the market prices at around $1m median..." | 0 |

Most of them will try to trick you they're in for a long term but just really want to hookup lol it's hopeless. Good guys might just not be swiping me then I guess. I might just get myself a cat okay | 0 |
1d5ycgm | In my opinion, the best way to handle it if you are a business owner is to spread the additional cost of weekend labour out over the entire permanent menu, so you don’t have to charge a weekend surcharge and leave a bad taste in every customer’s mouth every week, especially when a large chunk of your business comes from weekend trade.
For public holidays, these are less frequent and most people expect the surcharge on those days anyway, so no big deal. | 0 |
1d2iyux | The article fails to discuss the one form of democracy that operates for the greater good and that is direct democracy where all the people govern all the people.
Direct democracy can't fail to achieve the good of the majority, although nothing is perfect and it can behave woefully for the minority if it is not accompanied by learning reason. I was going to include compassion, however a reasoning person would be aware that showing compassion to others also includes when one is on the receiving end: it's part of the wisdom in "do unto others as you would have others do unto you".
However, direct democracy would have to be better than representative democracy in that there are more people involved where selfishness and other vices tend to better cancel themselves out. Nothing is perfect, but better is more useful than worse or the same.
Therefore, I encourage the people of Australia to urge government in the direction of direct democracy, to start by creating an uncensored anonymous online forum for reasoned debate and feeding public sentiment back to government who is supposed to be representing that sentiment; along with an associated education program for the experts advising government to also present their expertise to the people of Australia who are already paying for it; basic facilities for every Australian adult to contribute to the forum; and reduced working hours to allow them to participate.
Freedom of speech, not freedom of action, needs to be restored to the Australian people instead of chilling discussion by punishing speech arbitrarily interpreted as hateful or resulting in hurt feelings. Speech has no meaning in itself, only in its interpretation and particularly subsequent action, which is why it needs to be free. Even the interpretation of speech is on the receiver, not the speaker: the speaker has no control over how the receiver interprets or respods to their speech, especially when the words can have multiple interpretations even if both parties have the same understanding of speech.
As for being hateful or hurtful to feelings, feelings are subjectively created and autonomously acted out, within each individual person, outside of the control of a speaker. Whilst a speaker's intent may be to trigger emotions in a recipient and acting them out in a certain way to achieve a particular agenda, those emotions are created by the recipient, for good or ill, as part of the normal function of a human being and are not the responsibility of any external party. We are not our brothers keeper.
It is therefore vital that we teach people to manage their own emotions, with reason, so that they don't take action that becomes the source of objective harm. Speech is not action or cause of action: that is always performed by the recipient depending on how they interpret and action that speech, internally as well as externally. | 0 |

1cpsju3 | Not really, the past 30 years has brought in way more regulation than ever before, there hasn’t been anything called the free market for way longer than before the 80s.
It’s why the west is failing and Asia is growing at a rapid rate. It’s much harder to start a business, or get a job in a new industry in the west now. We have all forgotten that people want to make money and we need less barriers, not more, to make that happen.
Woke policies, nanny state policies, lots of environmental bull shit, nimby, over regulated. And each year it’s just getting worse and worse because the more laws the government introduces the harder it gets for business to swim through the swamp of shit law. | 0 |
1d23xgh | Oh yeah, that's the Australia I know, short memory and a sucker for populist messaging. Labor hasn't fixed a decade or two of Liberal fuckups yet, so lets go with the corrupt Queensland cop who'll punish the foreigners and protect us from the scary renewable energy. | 0 |
1cq2am0 | So basically something they never intend to actually do, just to throw out there to generate surface-level controversy and distract people. | 0 |
1cxwbp1 | My take out from this described shambles is that the coalition are meaningfully engaged in this debate and we can expect a much argued and defensible policy that has had plenty of darts thrown towards it internally. The ALP haven’t noticed how much people are feeling the economy. Immigration keeps us from entering a technical recession while reducing our security of shelter by decades. I’ve not lived under a government that has taken us so far back. I’m almost 50 and voted for Albo but never again | 0 |

1d5q1gh | Just gonna do the major cities in alphabetical order here:
Adelaide - has suburban beaches all along its western side (other than some small areas with cliffs and others with mangrove forest), but lies in a sheltered gulf so the surf is minor at those beaches (which is mostly a good thing for swimming, obviously). Surf beaches are about an hour or two to the south. The climate is Mediterranean (hot, dry summers, mild/cool wet winters) and the ocean temperature is a little colder. So access is good for most of the year but a bit limited in winter, unless you are a hardcore. "5 minutes from a beach" is very attainable in a significant proportion of metropolitan Adelaide and most beaches are very uncrowded and peaceful. It's also decent for scuba in some parts of the state where there are seagrasses and cuttlefish.
Brisbane - slightly limited access to beaches in Brisbane itself - there are much better beaches slightly further afield in the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, which are separate cities. Brisbane itself has a kind of "city beach" thing on the Brisbane riverfront area, but it's not really much of a place to swim. The climate is subtropical - generally very warm and agreeable.
Canberra - inland city in the "mountains", with no ocean coastline and no beaches. Climate is generally quite cool. Very poor option for a beach lover, but a lovely city otherwise.
Darwin - has beaches, but you really can't swim at most of them because of the jellyfish and saltwater crocodiles (this applies generally in the tropical north). There is a sheltered "waterfront" area you can swim in that's very popular with locals and tourists alike. They also have a wavepool there. The climate is tropical - easily hot enough to entice you to swim all year long. But yeah, your options will be limited and in general you'd be better off with access to a pool.
Hobart - has some beaches I assume, but it is considerably cooler than the mainland cities and so you will probably need to be selective with when you go. Beachgoing is generally not seen as a theme of Hobart life.
Melbourne - has beaches, but like Adelaide it is on a sheltered bay/gulf so the surf is poor. You can venture further afield to towns along the southern coast for much better surfing beaches. The climate is marine coastal - some very warm and sunny days in summer, but more erratic weather in other months. It's probably more than fair to say that Melbourne is not as famous for its beach lifestyle as Sydney is. Although St Kilda and Brighton Beach are quite popular.
Perth - like Adelaide, has suburban beaches all along its western side, and like Adelaide, has a Mediterranean climate. Unlike Adelaide many of its suburban beaches are on the open Indian ocean and therefore have a stronger surf. They also are a bit narrower and rockier than Adelaide beaches I think. Some may argue, but realistically I think Perth is probably the best answer for your question as far as larger cities go - weather, surf, ease of access. Although Adelaide is very comparable/close (moreso than a lot of people think).
Sydney - has very highly rated beaches on its Eastern side towards the Pacific Ocean...but so highly rated that they are invariably very crowded, which can be a hassle for actually going to them in several ways (parking/access, crowds, etc). The surf can be quite strong unless you go to a more sheltered beach. Most people in Sydney live a long way out to the west due to very unaffordable housing elsewhere, so "being 5 minutes from a beach" is much less attainable than it might seem. The weather is subtropical like Brisbane, but Sydney tends to be a bit prone to strong storm fronts which can present challenges for beachgoers. You will need to be very aware of things like rip tides and the importance of swimming between the flags. That said, it's hard to deny that Sydney is famous for its beaches and is internationally recognised for that fact - that's not without reason. They are stunning, and it almost goes without saying that beachgoing is a huge part of the culture/lifestyle in Sydney.
So those are the capitals/major cities. Adelaide, Perth and Sydney would be my top recs to seriously think about. You can find plenty of pics and vids online to get a feel for what the beaches look like in these places. Here are some samples which I think give you a good enough overview of what to expect in each city, but there are lots and lots of these sorts of videos floating around:
[Perth (tour of general suburban coastline)](
[Sydney (tour of several most popular beaches)](
[Adelaide (Henley Beach)]( [Adelaide (Brighton Beach)]( [Adelaide (Grange Beach)]( [Adelaide (Glenelg Beach)]( [Adelaide (Glenelg Beach)]( [Adelaide (Semaphore Beach)]( [Adelaide (Aldinga Beach)]( [Adelaide (Christie's Beach)]( [Adelaide (Sellick's Beach)]( [Adelaide (Maslin Beach)]( - (I couldn't find a good general tour video, but as you can see there are a lot of beaches and quite a bit of variety)
[Melbourne (St Kilda, Brighton)](
[Gold Coast (Surfer's Paradise)]( - arguably one of the nation's best (or best known) beaches, but a lot more than 5 minutes away from Brisbane. Gold Coast is its own distinct city, but much smaller than Brisbane and very much a tourist hotspot. All those buildings you can see in the video are hotels and apartments.
[Darwin (Waterfront)]( - very limited area you can actually swim, but it is literally almost always 32°C
[Hobart (Nutgrove Beach)]( - realistically quite often too cold to swim AFAIK...but very beautiful.
However, you might want to consider some smaller/regional coastal cities as places where you are more likely to be able to get accommodation within 5 minutes of the beach. I will list a few towns that are well known for their beachgoing lifestyles by state:
NSW - Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Wollongong, Newcastle
QLD - Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Mackay, Airlie Beach, Bundaberg, Yeppoon
SA - Ceduna, Port Lincoln, Moonta/Wallaroo, Port Elliot/Victor Harbor, Robe, Emu Bay
TAS - Bicheno, Coles Bay
VIC - Apollo Bay, Torquay, Lorne, Warrnambool, Sorrento, Bell's Beach, Geelong, Sale
WA - Margaret River, Bunbury, Albany, Broome, Esperance, Shark Bay
There are many others. These are mostly quite small places - accommodation will possibly be cheaper, but work will likely be much harder to find. | 1 |
1d0n6f8 | The Federal Government will s doing precisely nothing about the ‘transition’ except hope and pray that private investment will solve the problem. | 0 |
1ctvihi | What is causing this problem is nothing more than government policy.
The problem is created by government policy and can only be solved through changing laws.
We are governed by political interests that undermine economic interests.
It’s like asking the children to run the kindergarten.
All of these essential services and healthcare, aged, doctors, teachers, are all ultimately being paid for by taxpayers.
Increasing their salaries only increases our inability to afford it.
There is no doubt that we need to raise the minimum wage to meet the demands of the cost of living.
$30 per hour is not unreasonable.
However you would currently after a 38 hour week receive
$930 a week.
At $29 per hour you would be getting $905 .
If we just paid a basic minimum wage of $550 per week and a flat tax rate of 47 percent then we could actually pay people to look after our elderly at $20 per hour.
Far more affordable.
They would be receiving $907 a week nett.
Someone receiving $30 per hour would be on $1154 per week nett, hundreds more. But only $15 a week nett to the government in cost.
People can then work 5 hours or 50 , we don’t spend billions of dollars on pedantic nonsense about people asset’s and everything little things they earn.
You cut off hundreds of thousands of pages of red tape.
Government departments should be running as they are all part of the same organisation, but they don’t.
They have no idea how to cooperate with each other and work together towards a common cause.
All fighting for their own patch of money and funding.
Who yells louder and can wangle their political agenda.

1d0bo37 | Sydney and Melbourne although it’s pretty ridiculous either way. Literally oranges vs apple type argument. It’s natural though as they’re two of the biggest cities in the country with a similar population.
NSW vs QLD State of Origin is probably the closest answer and most reasonable. Most people I know that don’t bother watching regular NRL games almost always tune into State of Origin anyways. (Speaking as someone from Sydney) there’s a wholly agreed upon sentiment to hate the other state out of loyalty of their own. The rivalry isn’t as heated as something you’d find in a European football league but it’s close as you’ll get in Australia. | 1 |

1d1eojd | I'm confused by how many people (usually here on Reddit but elsewhere too) talk about using paper plates at home on the regular, not just when they're entertaining or something. So they don't have to wash plates at all, just throw them in the bin. Seems ludicrously wasteful.
Same goes for things like disposable wipes for cleaning. Saw a "swiffer" when Costco opened in Perth for the first time and wondered what the heck is wrong with a broom/dustpan and brush and a mop? All can be reused many times over, not just wipe and toss.
I mean, I can accept not everyone grew up with a bucket in the shower to put the water on the garden afterwards, and their mum yelling at them to turn the bloody tap off while brushing their teeth, heaven help you if you take longer than 3 minutes in the shower - but wasting water by having a 20 minute shower with the water running the whole time just seems idiotic. | 0 |
1d2gt0e | Well the government keeps cutting funding for mental health, outreach programs and people keep opposing anything drug support related in their neighborhoods or in the CBD.

1d2gg3r | I personally would go for Mitcham. Have a friend that lives next to the Burwood highway. It’s weirdly inconvenient, pretty much like living in Bundoora I suppose, where you have a tram line right next to you, but going into the city with it takes forever so you might as well not bother. Trains over trams at all times. I think it’s faster to go to the cbd by trains from Mitcham comparing to by trams from Burwood East, although Mitcham is a fair bit farther away.
Other than that, I think they are both good. You said Burwood highway but mitcham has Whitehorse Rd through which is pretty much a highway with service roads so it probs won’t give you a lot of quiet tranquility either. The only dealbreakers is trains vs trams for me.
P.S. I might be biased but a lot of eateries esp. Korean ones in Mitcham are really good so that might’ve swayed my vote! | 1 |

1d3k6b7 | Great drive for the most part. There are some stunning beaches north of Sydney; try to stop by the one just north of Tea Gardens (a town). Byron Bay and Coff's Harbour are nice, though I hear they're swarmed with tourists these days.
There are beautiful bushwalks in Southeast Queensland. I like the Mt. Mee Lookout walk, but that can take 5 hours and requires at least moderate physical fitness. There are so many others of varying length in the area. That region also has the Glasshouse Mountains, Australia Zoo, and the Blackall ranges.
Somewhere near Isis I think there's a "Canadian" roadside diner. Could stop there if it's open and see how it compares to the real thing. Rockhampton has a pretty good zoo with free admission. Beyond Rockhampton there's a pretty boring stretch for about 4 hours before you get to Mackay.
Airlee Beach is not particularly impressive, but you'd have to pass through if you want to check out the Whitday Islands. Whitehaven Beach is consistently rated as one of the best and most beautiful in the world.
Two months gives you way more time than necessary to do that trip. If you do end up taking that journey between those cities specifically, you'll want to take it slow and explore lots of different places along the way. | 1 |

1d2gt0e | It’s incredibly difficult to access adequate mental health care even as a compliant patient who wants to get help. For people who have conditions such as psychosis or schizophrenia and may be non-compliant with their meds, the one avenue of assistance they can access easily (meds via a GP) is not going to work and you can’t get into inpatient unless you are a danger to yourself or others. Yelling doesn’t qualify you as a danger. | 0 |
1d2emnt | Should have ditched trams on all but a few routes decades ago and replaced with better buses and bus services. Instead millions of dollars invested in new ones and stops. We've come too far now and there's this silly 'biggest tram network in the world' pride some people have. Buses can go round things, they can pick people up from the kerb, they can be replaced when one breaks down. Trams aren't fast or frequent enough on roads with cars to replace car ownership, unless you plan on living in a 5km Melbourne bubble.
London moves millions of people around Dickensian, two lane streets - they made hard decisions and put trains underground in London and run buses.
All these sky rails are wasted spaces where houses could be to cope with the millions of new arrivals governments are bringing in to prop up our economy.
It's cooked basically. Rant over. | 0 |

1d60hbf | My concept bar involves me walking to the local bottle shop, becoming dismayed at the poor selection, settling on the least bad option before returning home and sitting on the lounge trying to enjoy myself, watching bad youtube content and listening to music.
You have to cook and serve your own food, which usually involves a small convection oven / air fryer and frozen foods - with the possibility of burning yourself on the rack after one too many.
It's super immersive and realistic, and just as social as the local bars I've been to.

You provide a service and tell me the cost, I decide whether that cost is justified or if I can afford it and go from there. High end or not, same concept. | 0 |
1d5e2gg | McDonald's. It's dining and I think the price is fine. They seem to always have loads of punters in so it's competitive in the dining market. | 1 |
1cwcri9 | Anyone proposing to run as a candidate for election should have to show that they have completed a civics course. This course should be free of charge, taught at accessible times, as adult community education. The course should cover the history of democracy, the Australian system, comparison to other systems in the past and in other nations, the expectations of an elected official, basic ethical philosophy etc, all up around twenty two-hour classes with assignments in between.
No intelligent, honest, decent adult should have any difficulty with this type of course, however it would at least put those who are not, on notice. | 0 |

1d05ofu | I would encourage everyone to read the AAT decisions in question before they leap to any conclusions. In [the XRGY decision]( for example, the human-trafficking allegations were given serious consideration. But the allegation came from ASIO and the AFP declined to prosecute him for the crime. From 53:
>In the absence of a criminal conviction the decision-maker should rarely find that the conduct which would constitute an offence has occurred . . . The task of ASIO is a different task to that of adducing criminal guilt. It is the AFP that is best placed to investigate, charge and refer to the Director of Public Prosecutions cases of people smuggling. In the Applicant’s case, it has not done so. . . . If the Tribunal were to prefer or put more weight on the ASIO material than the AFP material, such an approach would raise Constitutional separation of power issues.
Given the above, it wasn't really possible for the AAT to treat the allegations any other way. This is trial by media, essentially.
I haven't looked for the Saki decision, but the minister's comments may well be accurate: that the AAT didn't properly consider the likelihood of reoffending. Easy to say in retrospect, of course, but even so, it's not evidence that the direction is a problem, just its application.
I know Dutton (and possibly others here) think we should be able to apply extra-judicial punishment to non-citizens. Serve your time and then piss off home. Untested allegation? Too bad, get out. But not only is this a textbook authoritarian approach, and not only does it compromise our international obligations including those against non-refoulement ([discussion here]( there's also the fact that the international community could start doing it to us. Deporting all their hardened criminals to our shores for us to deal with. It's a trick that ultimately goes against the interests of the Australian community even if it's emotionally satisfying. | 0 |

1cum8y0 | Man I’m pro Palestinian as it comes but can the media and politicians just stop. Whatever they say ain’t gonna do shit about the situation, I’ve already accepted this and I don’t care for what albo feels on the matter. Address the cost of living issues and things that are affecting us here in real time. Seems like they’re trying to polarise and divide everyday Australians and keep us distracted from the domestic issues we have in this country like homelessness, mental health, increasing crime and violence and cost of living!! Never felt so out of touch with a government and I thought scomo was bad | 0 |

It sounds like Ed Husic has made those false statements which you posted and not you. Ed Husic is making the same false narrative that the ICJ said it was plausible Israel was committing Genocide. My Video debunks this claim that they said anything of a sort.
Shame on Ed Husic! | 0 |
