40+ years ago a worker's life was only worth $500 even if only 18 years old.
Those times are fast reapproaching.

I think city dwellers also have a few problems - they own too many cars because yhey cannot afford to own houses and the roads are becoming increasingly congested and trains slower.

And that, besides Abbott getting the Order of the D.C.M. ( Don't Come Monday), IS about the only good thing to come out of the whole Election sham/debacle.

@Triphid Not to mention a large amount of people got their postal votes (I got one even though I voted in person) after the election was over. Coalition has got states (territories consistently don't vote LNP and would swing elections though the population argument is why NT isn't one. ACT just doesn't want to be one. I understand the aboriginal argument but those rights/laws for their benefit can be recalled at any time anyway and they make a shitload in tourism that just doesn't go to the territory and 1 billion in infrastructure which is legitimately employing people at the actual costs of that infrastructure) for 4 more years and the Coalition federally for at least 3 more years. We can't change the result of the recent election but also can't sit around and must find a way to be active beyond petitions, rallies & social media. We won't get right wing voters (who Liberal get their preferences from) to vote for Labor or the very few progressive/left wing parties we have by calling them idiots. True or not it's just going to make people double down. Most people don't know Greens have economic policy (pretty good one) because we know them as the two faced party who is pro safe abortion (split on that one though I agree) and identity politics. Calling the Coalition evil and greedy (though based on their economics petty more than greedy because they're shit with money) could mean anything. This by no means excuses any party for trying compromise with sociopaths idiots with a history of fraud and theft. Privacy rights
Hell even short phrases that are true... LiberalRAISETAX, Coalition where is the water? Newstart isn't giving a start, Aboriginals are Australian(people talk about Abstudy and stuff like that but there is a non aboriginal equivalent and non aboriginals get more), Stopping the boat didn't stop refugees, Prayers didn't bring rain, Monopoly government. Highest elderly poverty rate under LNP. Coal wants out of fossil fuel (true it's not profitable without subsidy anymore, iron ore alone went down by half value in 2014 and we could easily supply our power with many renewable sources to the point of export) But Lord of lies sounds cool but that could be about anybody. Twitter and Facebook is the converted and even if you get someone to switch sides they'll be pissed. You don't even need to lie just say the actual facts. At BBQs, to your friends, when at political stuff don't rant socialism, capitalism, class express truths. Think the rich their money to be worth less? Every time under the LNP.
I'm ranting anyway.
Think it's weird that we have federal elections every 3 years but state every 4 years?

@Triphid By monopoly government I meant small and medium businesses being consumed by monopolies though Private government would also be valid.

@Triphid That is a newie to me. Lmao DCM!

@Triphid, @DragonDust Not fit to run a Monopoly board let alone a government.

@FrayedBear So true.

@FrayedBear Or as my Dad would so often say ( excuse the crudity please) " Couldn't run a Whorehouse next door to a Navy Dockyard."

@Triphid Or a pissup in a brewery!

@FrayedBear Or even organise a free root at a nymphomaniacs convention....LOL.

@Triphid Probably could do with one right now! Lmao.
