Am an Australian guy starting work in the mid 80s
Worked washing dishes from 16 part time for comoc book money when it was laughed at, realsied work wasn’t for me, got a labouring job that paid ok and was away from home 5 days a week with food and accommodation paid for by my employer, just stayed at my parents for 2 days a week, chipped in with a small amount they asked for, had a an old cheap motobike to het aroibd, nevertheless owned a car, too expensive. Saved heaps but not paid much, 12 months in I upgrade to a fly in fly out job on triple the wage, much the same work, employer also happy to pay for all tertiary education expenses for remote study, 2 weeks on, 1 week off, stay at hone with parents, seme deal, go to work for a fortnight, take $10 come home with $5 becase everything is paid for. Nothing but study and work, seems hard. Don’t drink or smoke so no expenses really aside from the occasional snickers bar. Other workers come back and stay for the week at Sheraton and get hookers, go to the Casino, , looks like loads of fun to a 20 something but they come back to work broke. All the while i am nerding out on financial newspapers and putting all my savings in the stock market… Retire at 35, debt free, modest house, no mortgage, fast foward, same frugal habits, am 57 and investments have balloned ridiculously. Am a NEET, or retired, or a drag on society, depends how u look at it I guess

- Comment on NSW Police face fresh calls to be banned from Mardi Gras 2 weeks ago:
Why wouldn’t “you” (the people organising and participating in the march) not want police as part of it?
Because some of those organising it where the ones that had the crap beaten out of them by police not so long ago. Perhaps as the years roll on things will change but right now I completely understand why.
My grandfather, who fought in WW2 in New Guinea lost his shit when my dad bought his first Japanese car (or so my dad told me decades ago) way back in the day, now, no one cares.

- Comment on 'Families are going to be ripped apart': Labor's 'brutal' migration law trio, explained 3 weeks ago:
But It is, the only thing it’s not above is the constituion and our constitution is particulalry weak on any rights of citizens.
The shittiest one is the back dated legislation we introduce when it found they breached the law, happens way to often.
- Comment on Greens to hand Labor win on two key housing bills after lengthy stand-off 3 weeks ago:
They should’ve passed the legislation and pressed for more action immediately.
No, the legislation is beyond a turd, thers bilkuosn for developers even with zero houses built… as a Greens voter, its a pity they caved at all.
Chnadker-Mathers tik tok video did a great job of explaining how fucking appalling it was.

Australian news. Defend genocide or human extinction? Or maybe both?
I never paid attention to the newspapers, so I don’t know if it’s always like this.
It’s always been thus, siding with the orthdoxy as we slide closee to fascusm all the time.
I did jinx it though, my bad… , thunking Morrison was as bad as it got, before that thinking Abbott was as bad as it giwt, before that Howard was as bad as it got. Niw e look set to have Soud for PM., we’re so far down the sewage pipe there’s nowhere left to go.
I long ago realised i have little in common with most of my fellow citizens.

- Comment on The latest Coalition scare campaign about Labor may scare itself more than voters 3 months ago:
As a Geeen voter, I can’t even think of what sort of Green voter would Vote Teal instead, they’re night and day apart?
This doesn’t pass the sniff test, you don’t need to vote “tactically” in Australia, we have preferential voting, so a Green Vote might preference a Teal and see their vote flow that way of the green candidate doesn’t hwt wnogh if the primary vote but thats a a different thing then Voting 1 Teal.
I always preference any Independent over the toxic shit stain that is the ALP and LNP.

- Comment on Compulsory voting in Australia is 100 years old. We should celebrate how special it makes our democracy 4 months ago:
For decades I thought cumpolsory voting was a good idea, the nit pick bad faith argiment about only having to have your name ticked off is a distraction.
Until I heard t single counter argument that they don’t want people who are angry with that cumpolsory voting system to vote.
And that changed my mind, I do’t want angry people who do not want to be there voting, I want people who want to me there
I am pro euthenasia as I am against cumpolsory voting for much the the same reason, that should be something beyond the states control.
Aside from the freedom to choose your own death if you wish, the freedom to vote should be inalienable right granted every citizen in a democracy.
I heard from many folk that they’d rather have the Jacinta Arden led Labour government then ScoMo and yet NZ voting isn’t cumpolsory.
There’s something else afoot, self absorbed, greedy people electing appalling politcans is de rigeur, a cumpolsory voting system doesn’t stop it, nor does ranked choice (preferential) voting. We have incredibly toxic politcans amongst us, I could name a dozen or more.
I don’t think one is better then the other. I dont think what we have is the best way, it’s incredibly corrupt and the older I get the more disillusioned I become with voters (not with politcans, they’re like flies to shit, so I blame the shit, not the flies) we are constantly offered different parts and refuse to tale them, what we have is nothing to celebrate IMO.

Not at all, people believe in magic sky faires and put stickers on their car about it… Hell lots of cop cars abs court rooms have nonsense about said sky fairy on it. In bobo we trust … Aside from scale, there’s no real difference.
