Re: The Housing Crisis
The high level problem is that the Federal Government gets income tax revenue from more skilled migrants. It needs that extra money to balance the books, otherwise the "Debt and Deficit!!" hawks start screaming. The public has been conditioned to believe that debt and deficit are bad, and ...

Re: The Housing Crisis
Page 2 includes a long article that includes a quote that housing construction was already slowing. Nobody (in the article or here) has attempted to either challenge or explain that statement. There seems to be plenty of land "released" for housing. Has somebody done an analysis of what i...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
"this was a stuff up" is not exactly journalistic language but then I realised this publication came from "Renew Economy" blog. Their editorial license put a spin on the unrelated facts in the article to slant it in a way to indicate there was no fault of renewables. Yeah. Renew...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
so someone who didn't want a solar farm next door expressed "concern" to their local FOX station, who published the story without waiting for comment by the solar farm owner, nor results of any soil or water tests. I'm not sure if there's any reason for "concern", but this artic...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
WOW! I don't very often get accused of having a "progressive agenda". I guess if I'm less-right than you, then I'm left. "Its not a metric I care about." - I've repeatedly said I don't think a nuanced position should be boiled down to one line, and you keep coming back to it. Wh...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
So who do you think is more Right, limiting yourself to current sitting SA MPs in either state or federal parliament, either house, not necessarily Liberal. I don't care. You make it sound like you're hunting these people who don't conform to your 'progressive' agenda. It's a little creepy tbh. No ...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
You brought him up not me. This is a politics thread so its relevant. If anyone has made multiple attempts to derail this conversation...its you. I bought up Antic in the context of the likely reasons he may have had an impact on the outcome of the election via the way the electors of Dunstan may h...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
There are a total of 47 representatives in the Lower House. A party needs a majority of 24 seats to govern. There are 5 crossbenchers. Labor already had 27 seats. Very likely to increase that majority to 28 seats, with the Dunstan by election win. Liberals had 15 seats, now down to 14 most likely. ...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
This is what you said... I wasn't offended personally, however this kind of rhetoric which has been mainstreamed by the left is destructive to civil discourse in this country and marginalises people who hold reasonable positions. Such terminology should be reserved for neo-nazis or nazis. That quot...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
I'm clearly not on the Left-Right Spectrum - I agree with abc here. This is the SA Politics thread at the Pub. It's the only forum (apart from the Federal politics forum) this discussion should be on, not spilling to all the others. Sure. It's hard to disagree with those words. But I'm not sure tha...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
I have and you're right, the forum is much better for it. Took me a bit ov time to figure that out though. Maybe the mods can ban certain people from eachother to have some civility back. or maybe just people take responsibility for their own actions and be civil I'm clearly not on the Left-Right S...
