We are a society not just an economy. The role of government is to provide a framework in which each member of society is able to reach his or her potential
What’s the verdict on the legislation? Not a NACC I hope! Haven’t seen any of the business, farming or mining lobbies screaming yet, that can’t be good

I responded to the original post and you replied to me. Rudely and unsolicited. I’ve been civil. Maybe buy yourself a mirror?

That wasn’t the question. What’s the advantage to Australia of telling the Yanks to go **** themselves? In your view, would that make life better or worse for Australians and if so, in what ways?

What do you see as the tangible benefits to be of exhibiting such courage as opposed to the mere moral superiority?

Pretty sure I had that EP. Saw them once at Cabbage Tree Hotel in the Gong soon after they reformed. Had sound problems but still sounded great. He kept apologising before saying “we’ll be back next week to do this properly - no charge”. Great muso, a perfectionist

Seriously. What’s he going to do? Trump’s a fkn lunatic. You expect Albo to call him out, and get nothing but 1,000% tariffs on everything, kill our exports but be able to walk around bragging he told him? Thank fk you’re not in power. This will pass and we’ll get another Obama. Chill

Add another item to the list of things that a bunch of old men still glowing in decades old glories have decided to refuse in case Japan might actually burst into the reality of the 21st century. A country run by dinosaurs

True story… I got on the beers in a rooftop Bangkok hotel swimming pool one arvo with a Finnish bloke who lived in Paris and traveled the world making a killing designing dunny paper. I had no idea so much went into getting it right

That’s a very good question and not enough people are concerned about it. Hear me out here.., but could we just pay politicians like a $billion each to leave things TF alone?

It’s a cover, from memory an old song from the late 1800s or early 1900s

A much darker song than people realise
