I probably have to give Albo a gimme. He's trying to help people like me, even though he missed me specifically.

If I was in different circumstances he might have been the greatest politician in my life.

Peter Dutton doesn’t know much.

He admitted that when he responded to a question about climate change during one of the debates.

What he does know is policing…surveillance, arrest, punishment, incarceration and deprivation of civil liberties.

Any government lead by him will use police (state) tactics because that is all he knows

Oh, and he does not respect the courts.

A Peter Dutton lead government will undermine Australian democracy, disregard the rule of law and imperil individual rights.

Labor and Liberal housing policies are not enough. Two broken systems need fixing first

The policies of both parties designed to increase housing supply are fine — they're just nowhere near enough.

"Over the top of",
Gambling reform - boo, boo, boo
"Plibersek on #EnvironmentalProtection laws" Boo, boo,
"Dreyfus on mandatory jail terms for hate crimes and antisemitism", yay, yay, what with the Trumpian bullshit definitions of antisemitism floating around, and,
"Leigh on sex and gender census questions.” yay, yay, what with the Trumpian bullshit floating around.

That puts Albo up at 2 out of 4.
Impressed.

Cue Meatloaf. Oh whoops, that 2 out of 3 ...

Re the debate: "Should the U.S. federal government make reducing the national debt a fiscal priority?"

Today's fed "debt" is entirely different from household debt. Fed "debt" isn't borrowed, so isn't repayable.

The US tried paying down the so-called"debt" seven times in its entire history.

The first 6 times resulted in a depression (first image)

The seventh time (Clinton) resulted in a recession (2nd image)

Can Australia still afford the pub, our coffee addiction or Friday night takeaway?

From our coffee addiction to a weekend pub tradition, some of the simple pleasures many Australians have taken for granted now feel like luxuries. But if patrons can no longer afford to visit the pubs and cafes we love, there may be something bigger at stake.
