- Comment on [META] Participation by non-Australians? Should we change this comm's display name? 1 day ago:
Yeah, i’s not really thinking for building numbers. Really just because its the kiwis, Papuans and the rest…
So, you’re comment made me look again at what the continent actually is. And i have become a bit confused. So, i meant the continent including Australia. Whether thats Oceania or Australia (continent) i don’t know, but i think its definitely not Australasia, so anytime i said australasia i of course was refering to the best of the 7 continents!

I don’t hate that name.
But I always felt that aussie.zone should be Australasia centric instead of aussie centric. This was a thought before the Kiwis got their instance going though.

Glad your jumping in to modding @eureka
A key way the fediverse differentiates itself should be from numerous and active mods and admins with their instances best interesta at heart.

Yeah, that lags a killer, although i’ve noticed its better than it used to be. But its still days.

Yeah, it’d be interesting for there to be an exit survey. I’m always interested why people leave, especially those like Ilandar.

Yeah, although i better stand on my high horse, my takes are also a bit shit, lol!
Part of it is definitely that context matters. I’ve noticed that when well meaning North Americans enter the discussion, they tend to apply their own context, or haven’t the correct info.
Good example was that person who was, well meaning and nonetheless made a valuable contribution, but had incorrect info about the submarine fleet.

Thats actually really interesting to know you have a contingency there. The second option sounds a little like what beehaw must have done.

But then we also get people like yourself who are always awesome to hear from! :) So swings and roundabouts.

Na, the users i saw were all stating their opinions and they were essentially fine, no rules were broken in my eyes.
It just struck me last night that the way they delivered those opinions was pretty toxic.

- Comment on Peter Dutton says he'll never stand in front of an Aboriginal flag as prime minister 1 week ago:
the flag’s presence in press conferences is a symbol of division.
Breaking: Comrade Dutton now bans the use of State and Territory flags in his press conferences when he appears in those places. When questioned he stated Australia is undivided, and ‘girt by sea’. when reporters questioned why he chose sea over the more appropriate oceans he mumbled something about lefty media always out to get him… /s

- Comment on A freight train of voter anger might be about to hit Albanese 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think Australians actually want big change though. I think the vocal minority who follow politics and make a lot of noise…
Yeah, thats kinda what i’s nodding towards with my comment about the voters being responsible for pushing a stronger reform agenda as well.

- Comment on A freight train of voter anger might be about to hit Albanese 2 weeks ago:
Eh, they’ve not been too bad. They’ve generally got things done. Haven’t been massive reformers, (tried but failed and backed off the Voice reform). But they’ve put in place a lot of slow burn policies and projects that will probably be more valued in years to come than they are now.
I think the voters of Australia themselves need to wake up. We need to vote in our collective best interests if we want big change. Instead it seems a scare campaign about an issue no further than the end of noses sinks a government these days. There seems little big picture thinking by our well educated nation’s people.
Also the Reserve bank really needs to start copping it harder, i question whether they are abrogating their 3rd duty to use their powers to contribute to the economic prosperity and welfare of the people of Australia. Their decisions lately enrich some people, (the already wealthy and asset rich), to impoverish the rest of the people.
The stresses caused by this cost of living crisis are definitely contributing to the lack of big picture thinking. How can you look at the horizon when your face is in the mud? Problem is, the longer this problem and its societal and institutional reactions goes on, the more time and opportunity is lost.
- Comment on Greens to hand Labor win on two key housing bills after lengthy stand-off 3 weeks ago:
thers bilkuosn for developers
I can’t work out what this says sorry. Do you mean “bullshit for developers”?
- Comment on Greens to hand Labor win on two key housing bills after lengthy stand-off 3 weeks ago:
Eh, maybe they do, but the media wouldn’t broadcast it. Or start criticising Labor for not taking responsibility for leadership of the country themselves. Maybe a more media savvy person will know if theres a generally acknowledged time period, but the media only put up with new governments blaming the last for a short period. Maybe 1 year?
Labor knows this, and rather than have to explain how government and indeed institutional development works to each journalist, they let the ego’s of the journalists, and their ‘mystical’ knowledge of their readers/viewers interests dictate when that response has run its course.
- Comment on Greens to hand Labor win on two key housing bills after lengthy stand-off 3 weeks ago:
If the concern is that it won’t have a significant impact before the next election, I don’t think we should lay all the blame on the Greens.
Nah, certainly not. I think Albanese’s biggest failure, so far, was not having the next part of this parliaments story ready to go as soon as the referendum was over.
Within a few weeks of that he needed to define the next couple years on cost of living, in particular housing, and just lay into the opposition over these last two years for their decisions turning Australian housing into the safest and easiest investment available.
The way they’ve brushed off Keating’s opinions on AUKUS means they could have been doing the same for his part in deregulating the banks, which indirectly contributed to the issue with the Liberals suite of other policy decisions as well.
Albanese had the chance to be bold, but it seems history is going to view his first term as being bold on a referendum then losing his nerve to come back and try again.
The Murdoch media will screech…
Yep
- Comment on Greens to hand Labor win on two key housing bills after lengthy stand-off 3 weeks ago:
Great, just in time to be reversed without having time to have any effect when the Liberals get in because the narrative that Labor hasn’t done anything on housing will be yelled and screeched about by the Murdoch propandists.
I get the Greens wanting more, but playing hardball in times like these when there is an obvious electorate sentiment has probably hurt both the Greens and Labor to the benefit of their political opponents.
They should’ve passed the legislation and pressed for more action immediately.
In another reality Adam Bandt could have been saying this, “We won’t stand in the way of Australians getting a better deal on their housing, but we will continue pushing for a better see deal for all Australians.”
Adam Bandts a good speaker anyway, like he needs my help on that! :p

- Comment on Albanese moves to capitalise on Trump's plan to slash green energy investment 5 weeks ago:
Good thought, couldn’t agree more with Albanese, but blasting it across the world in that fashion is maybe not advisable. Don’t need to put the incoming US administration offside if we can help it.
At the same time, you never know whats going on behind closed doors, maybe the horse has already bolted for Labor with the Republicans on that one.
