Why would this right wing government stay in such a coalition?

Let’s cede the green revolution to China. Once we are desperate we can call them in to build some thorium reactors for us.

If we had decent public transportation we wouldn’t need the cars in the CBD.

Too bad. Seymour wants it and he is going to get it.

Welcome to the oligarchy everybody.

If this government doesn’t kick the population in the butt enough to join unions this country is fucked.

This is an excellent way to provide tax cuts for landlords and monopoly businesses.

More often than not just not doing the work at all and letting things degrade.

Sad state of the world.

I lack both the skills and the time to do things myself.

Your friends and neighbours?

I hope he can convince china to sell some of their cars here. I see lots of amazing Chinese cars entering Australia now.

Having said that does anybody believe Trump’s lapdog will disobey his master?

Is the Haka an act performed in circuses?

LOL. Block all you want. I will be here to call your racism and right wing batshittery every time I see it.

Disrupted the process by a couple of minutes. Big whoop. The process didn’t end, nothing was cancelled and you shouldn’t believe the lie that the TMP prevented ACT from voting. That was a libel told by the National party which should be punishable by a much higher level.

The punishment was purely based on racism. If any other party had done this they wouldn’t be punished this bad.

More corruption and ineptitude from this government.

The problem is they ask for money up front to supposedly buy supplies for the job. I have learned that you should just go ahead and buy the supplies yourself even though it’s going to cost more for you to do it than them. This way when they fuck off and don’t show up at least you still have the supplies.

How do you do background checks?

Since posting this I have talked to a couple of more people and they had very similar stories. One guy talked about how the tradie took half up front and didn’t show up. He took him to small claims court and the tradie said he was having mental health problems and the judge ruled in favor of the tradie. He had to appeal to get a judgement for his money back. He did win that case but the tradie never paid.

The second guy told me he too took the tradie to court but the tradie had sheltered all his assets under a trust and his wife so he just claimed poverty and the judge bought it.

If you want to see what not confronting this kind of racism and right wing zealotry leads to just look at the USA. They are literally sending soldiers to shoot protesters all in the name of maintaining decorum.

This person is saying that the haka was the most disruptive thing to happen in parliament in the entire history of his nation.

Here is the quote.

but there’s never been a group of people before with such disdain for the establishment they represent their constituents within.

You know this is a lie, I know this is a lie, and he knows this is a lie.

Why should somebody be able to lie so blatantly without being called out? Especially since the lie is motivated by racism.

Parliament has strict rules around decorum

Bullshit. If there are any rules they are not applied fairly or uniformly.

And the punishment is harsh, but there’s never been a group of people before with such disdain for the establishment they represent their constituents within.

You are a lying sack of shit. There have been tremendous amount of distain for the parliament by other people and parties. Learn some fucking history you zealot.
