People in Australia do experience medical bankruptcy. It’s incredibly rare now. But it’s true. But it used to be so much worse before we had a public health system. And health outcomes were worse as well. And it cost more.

Singapore HBD.
- Comment on A freight train of voter anger might be about to hit Albanese 2 weeks ago:
I think this is already under way. The problem is that nobody’s material conditions will improve if they’re incentivised to exploit less well off tradies. The number of dodgy builders who burn through their tradies because they want to make a buck is unsustainable.

Fair point

Agreed on nuclear, my view would be to fund the creation of policies that would allow for the construction of nuclear were it to become more cost effective in the future.

Cost of living - Introduce divestiture powers and use them on the monopolies. Reintroduce competition or nationalise that’s the only two options left when it comes to Australia’s consumer markets. The current situation benefits nobody.
Housing -> build public housing. Not affordable housing. Not social housing. It’s not a demand problem, it’s a supply problem. Use the Singapore HBD model and start building to get us back above the 10% minimum public housing stock at a minimum.
Healthcare -> Move to a fully funded GP model. The hybrid has failed and a fully private system makes healthcare even more unaffordable. Clear out emergency rooms by putting a huge emphasis on publicly funded preventative care.
Climate change -> Fund the sovereign resources fund to the level of Norway’s, introduce mandatory royalties on all natural resources so that the majority of our natural gas doesn’t go oversees uncharged like it does not. Use that money to fund renewables AND investigations into the legalisation of nuclear.

The centre is completely failing to meet the material needs of the working class. Cost of living, housing, healthcare, climate change, equity of GDP. People are mad because Labor has failed to recognise or act on the massive shifts that need to happen to solve any one of those challenges. They continue to tinker with the balance sheet as if it’s the 90s.

Yep. Look for things to start to look shaky just as he leaves office and then continue to degrade for the following 15 years as the sell off of the world’s future in favour of 2026s Q4 results finally starts to effect people.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 1 month ago:
I’ve got no problem with the communists. I like having a part of the internet that isn’t completely commoditised and filled with ads and people trying to sell side hustles. I hate the search function.

Turns out of you do this with a basic block of cheddar and cheap shaved ham, everyone still thinks you’re being fancy and compliments you on the cheese choice.
