that's the problem with these sorts of things and partisan politics in general - it's not about the principal, it's about the side. the further down that track towards the 'American example', the worse off we'll all be.

i didn't say it would, just that i hoped they'd do a good job. given the recent correlation between federal libs and state labor (VIC), this is something of a cautiously optimistic result for those of us in Danistan hoping to get rid of Dear Leader come November. 

well, good luck to Albo and Co.  hope they do a decent job - for all of our sakes. 

Right? they'll drown us in solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and batteries before anyone has the nerve to seriously put nuclear on the table.  But if you take fossils out, where other than nuclear are you otherwise going to get high yield, stable baseload power?  that we're entertaining nuclear...

Interesting take here on why Kooyong Labor voters should in fact, vote Frydenberg https://www.news.com.au/national/federal-election/joe-hildebrand-why-labor-voters-in-kooyong-need-to-vote-for-josh-frydenberg/news-story/4a3774b6ce0db2e78c91ea51133ba2d0 what's interesting about that is, while it...

Makes sense for Australia to go nuclear.  So you can all but guarantee it won't happen. 

There's all this focus on independents, but I think its the minor parties that are the more interesting.  Liberal Democrats are shaping up as an interesting bunch. Here in the Peoples Republic of Dan Andrews, they were about the only sensible voice through all the lockdown and mandate madness...

half the debt for 1/7 the GDP

Albo continues to shoot himself in the foot at pressers.  11:01 amMay 5, 2022HIGHLIGHT Albanese appears not to know his own policy Ben Graham Anthony Albanese was accused of not knowing his own party’s plan to improve the National Disability Insurance...

and then everybody clapped

feels like there's a lot of people saying "anyone but Libs & Labor".  minority government on the cards?

betting markets have Albo in a seemingly comfortable position vs Scomo this morning.  $1:38 v $3:00

Good. Since it's been working for the Fastnet, always seemed inevitable it would happen here. Was just a matter of time for how long certain interest groups could hold it off. 

that still doesn't help the argument.  last December, Melb airport recorded  1,115,233 transfers. That's an average of just under 36k people per day.  and there's 500 beds? and the people have to stay there for how long? its hard to see this as being anything other than a colossal white...

soon? I doubt it.  don't see how a gussied up detention center is going to be the difference even if there is.  current capacity (stage 1) for the one in Danistan is 500 beds, which is nowhere near the daily case numbers being reported. 

in reference to the floods & fires - I'd wager more people would rather the government spend on preventative measures or relocation schemes than a white elephant facility in the middle of nowhere.  by the time it's actually needed, expect it'll be deteriorated and need another hundred...

Wimbledon's own rules state they won't discriminate on the basis of nationality.  Absolute bullshit call that should age like milk. 

Could be worse - could be the Victorian example Figures here in Danistan look something like: cost $580 million to build, took 550 staff to run and processed 200 arrivals in 2 months and now shut. if you didn't know any better you'd swear I was describing an episode of Utopia.
