Re: Political discussion
WA is a can of worms. Labor should have a completely unlosable election on their hands... However voters may not like the idea of any government having such a strong grip on power and vote for the Liberals or minority parties to 'balance out' their vote in the Upper House. Very interesting times ahead.

Re: Political discussion
As most countries have hawks and doves and there have been times for both over the years it seems to me that protectionism often leads to war.
My question is if Australia became a customer of China buying 20 high tech TBM would it be seen by them and others as weakness or a way to move on and restore normal trade.

Just thinking if Putin built his own Nord 2 ship instead of tanks he could finish the job and improve the lot of the Russian public.

Someone on TV said that Labor had found SCOMO's weak spot with him spitting the dummy and as I drove down the coast I found myself laughing at him behind the wheel of a car.

Re: Political discussion
I think his comments on identity politics are on the mark. Too many of us want to divide ourselves up into categories, and it's only driving people farther apart.

After watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6vrIa3EKog I felt so sorry for Merkel with Nazis on one side Greens on the other and America stopping them from getting gas from Russia.

Would China and North Korea leave Taiwan and South Korea alone because they are the best chip makers because I do not think you can push people to be smart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7t0qts4L6s

Re: Political discussion
There are calls from some parts to make China pay for COVID 19 which reminds me of the end of WW1 (which I believed the Spanish flu stopped) and they set up the league of nations where everyone added up their cost and sent Germany the bill which was ten times what they could ever pay.

Re: Political discussion
Been thinking about Liberal v Labor on housing and where Labor will encourage low or no declared income the Liberal will encourage people to work as hard as possible resulting them getting it all back in tax and owning a house which they will have to sell anyway to provide for their old age but these are just my thoughts.

Re: Political discussion
Looking at all the rebuilding needed in Palestine particularly with the lack of space, I wonder if America just printed $10b and built the Parrahub building to house all the homeless, it would forever stop the argument over who was where first.
I interpret “an eye for an eye” like most people as the MOST retaliation and with this in mind this is simply an idea that would make America great again in the eyes of the Muslim world.

Re: Political discussion
No matter what you try and do, the argument as to who was there first would NOT be resolved by Parrahub. The argument as to who was there first goes back centuries and is unlikely to ever be resolved.

Re: Political discussion
The Palestinians don't want compromise. They want Israel gone, that's their goal, and we know Israel won't grant that "request" hence the never ending tale of conflict.

Re: Political discussion
There is a lot of unrest in the world things like what is happening in the Middle East along with whatever goes on inside the head of the crazy North Korean leader Kim the 3rd when it comes to nukes and what he wants to fire them at and we can’t forget everything that’s gong on when it comes to Australian government and the CCP

Re: Political discussion
And Israel wants compromise ?? The history of the region to me says compromise is the only way this will get sorted. But oops I forgot, the Likudnik Prime Minister of Israel ran into some difficulty in holding a majority at their last election. Nothing like poking the fire when you're not doing too well politically.
Think for yourself, while it's still legal !

They gave up Gaza to them and they repay them by launching rockets from there as a base (Hamas).Centralian wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 5:27 pmAnd Israel wants compromise ??

They want Israel, the only functional industrial democracy in the region, wiped of the Earth.

Re: Political discussion
Parramatta Council deserve to be voted out for screwing up the traffic. Not least of the problems is the ban on right turns at Horwood Pl/George St since George St went two way.
Re: Political discussion
Interesting comment now that she's gone. She didn't seem to cut through but I don't really know why or if anyone could do any better? State Labor are still strongly hated for the dithering on the NWRL especially? Surely we need to move on rather than give the Coalition a blank check, or should we get a different opposition.

Maybe that they are focused on SJW bullsugar instead of more important stuff. They've become an agent for the watermelon party -greens.

Re: Political discussion
I have a feeling Jody McKay's resignation will mean bad to worse with an even more left leaning woke obsessed opposition to the point of being a greens party by proxy.
Now we'll have the Liberal Dictatorship with their repugnant changes to Sydney for years to come.
Old Labor at least kept Sydney unmolested.

Re: Political discussion
^ Swift, I feel that you might be completely wrong here. Perhaps just optimistic thinking but I think you are too negative here. Jodi McKay never made an impact as opposition leader, happy to give another a go.
