Next Federal Election
With the current crew it feels more like Brumby into Baillieu. Can't see anyone like Kennett around, it's all ambitious young libs or old careerist drunks. Allen is no Kirner either. That said, I'm all for limits to tenure, one thing the US system has in its favour.
Project Gina 25 , that’s a scary thought . https://x.com/simonahac/status/1860518057325588894?s=46
Nice to see some groups standing up to spud the dud and his dill brain farts . https://israelandpalestine.org/opposition-leader-peter-dutton-faces-grou...

Good luck to them.
Dutton really is a piece of work....
Can't say anyone should be surprised at this, there is decades long information out there about how devious/dodgy Adani is and how fragile his company(ies) balance sheets are. Stand by for the good ole boys of FNQ politics to start calling for taxpayer's $$ to bail out that disgraceful coal mine ..... can't say you weren't warned

GuySmiley. Hi mate. The other side of this prick is he’s been a gross environmental fucker.
He once said that we should just dig all minerals and clear any vegetation that’s in the road of making a profit.
I can’t believe Governments globally, including ours, fall for these kinds of people spin.
.Hope he gets everything thats coming his way from a legal context. AW
Hey @aw, yep and smog levels in many Indian cities are currently 100s of times higher than recommended, remember this cunning stunt?
On good environmental news watch the latest wins on Lord Howe Island, real wins on the board, hope to get therr finally next year ….

GuySmiley.. Hi mate.
Thanks for that post. It’s enlightening news. Myself and others have followed the biological progress post rodent eradication.
Now if we can only stop the massive amounts of sea current borne plastics from entering the mouths of birds around Lord Howe, I’ll be a very happy man. AW
^^ :(
The full movie is available online but I can’t watch it anymore … it’s too depressing
https://m.
fark, nice one @Guy, (2000 miles from anywhere.. how gross), but a positive, friends and I call it 'that cove thing' after the disgusting/necessary dolphin film: this stuff is going on, regardless of our knowing about it or not. Watching a film about it means many people are being made aware. Good. Utterly horrific.
^^ didn’t Hans Zimmerman do the musical score for The Cove @b6?, saw it years ago, another film you can’t unsee :(

did he? I was too busy being traumatised, got it on dvd here somewhere, not sure I could do it again.. found this factoid on the wikipedia, to doff the cap to this thread being about aussie pollie stuff..
"In August 2009, after the screening of the film in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane film festivals, the councillors of the Shire of Broome, Western Australia, voted unanimously to suspend its sister city relationship with the Japanese whaling port town of Taiji, as long as the latter continues its dolphin slaughter.[38][39][40] This decision was reversed that October, less than two months later.[41]"

Think yer all familiar with GST was gonna man up & wipe out that Big Bully Tax Plague ...(Cough!)
Fair Dinkum Oz core meltdown
65% > 10% Agricultural (Export)
25% > 10% Services Industry
20% > 7% Manufacturing (Export)
15.9% > 13.4% GST Windfall blocked the wind in our sails > Keep falling off the e bay map.

69% > 64% State School Kids (o/s influx caters for multi religious schools)
20% > 7% Child Slave Labour vanishing + 16% too old for Cashies = Mandated GST Girl Fridays
#60- #93 Economy Complexity (Howard's GST decimation of unionized manufacturing sector)
66.48 > 52.15 per 1m new Hospitals now slowing to a halt...
90% -22% Fed's Nat Hwy share Cop out = Oz WR #1 City Tolls
98% > 84% Voters (Can't recall No GST being a Howard Core promise)
Make Believe WMD = WAR ? Executive Lie always overrides yer Vote!
Don't Know Vote LNP = Promise to Always make ya worse off?
Q : How did GST kill off Oz
A : Large Tax was poorly timed with Cargo Cult mentality...last cab off the e bay Rank...Oz froze over.
As a result the GST take drops 0.1% each year offset by 3x 0.3% Income Tax rise each year!
We all know that Howard's GST Abolition of Trade Unions was not a Core Promise!
Oz = World's Backwater Door Mat fast relegated to #93 Banana Republic after 10yrs of GST.
https://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/rankings
Ok! So how is it now too taxing for Oz to rub 2 sticks together!
GST service component self penalizes growing needs across a vast enormous isolated Island.
Howard Zhooshed his Bro's Gay Textiles while killing off The Great Aussie Dream of Cars eating Oz!
Fed Hwy 90-10 funding > Now with GST Howard dropped Nation Building obligation to 22%
Aug 2007 Maquarie Bank : "Net funding from Canberra to states had plunged to a 30 year low
Gold Coast motorists bankrolled Howard $3bn > got $210m for Hwy works 2001-08 ...all heart mate!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tugun_Bypass
(State Govt $545m in 2007 alone)
60% NSW [M1] Border Upgrade NSW Libs $0 + Howard $120m + Qld $423m ($380m in NSW)
Govt Fed Pacific Way [M1] allocation had dropped from 90% > 22% under Howard's GST
Howard's GST was a failure > Cost him Govt & his Seat...Bye Bye #1 Cheap arse Lying Lib Coward!
Oz self mandates upscaling 10% impost for each reimagined rendition of same shit...Suck it all Up!
Not exactly rocket science to Tradies but Economists will never set foot on a work site.."It's too muddy!"
How could LNP not see that Isolated Oz would self entomb and implode being ankle chained to GST.
EU/Asian/US Grid command lashings of freedom of choice snouts in trough commodity options.
More than enough to wipe off any 5-25% Sales Tax > just grab a cheaper choice of any 1,000 others!
Backwater Oz can't afford such Bypass Luxury & gets roasted by every increasing GST storage delays
Oz cops GST impound tariff ticking away for holding a $1m Mouldy grain of Rice.
tbb ran thru Data comparisons of Highest Household Debt + Largest drop in Complexity
Bizarre to See Canada / Oz the 2 constant 2100 Giant Migrant Heroes being #1/ #2 Zombie enclaves...
Just don't cut'n'paste anything for Godz Sake...please don't sharpen a pencil...you'll start a fire.
Basically Northern Grid Behemoths order a war if 1m car orders are delayed by 1 hour...
Meanwhile Oz pray for one Model T each Year & cop a raw prawn or some bunfight 3 years later.
That's the Elephant in the Room...no amount of Voting or Tax reform can change that...only Bribes!
tbb kept running thru data > Highest Household Debt / largest drop in Complexity..
And Large isolated countries kept lighting up..all roads lead to Shopcart shipping delays.
World Bank Shipping Rank is very serious with double digit points..but tbb did find major Oz anomaly.
#3 International Rank ramped Chinese Import/ Export to free up supply chain GFC impost.
Nation.....Rank Customs Infras inter Logistic Track Time
Oz Peaks.#16.......#22......#22....#3*.....#21.......#20...#17
Oz 2023..#20.......#17......#17...#49.....#14.......#11...#44
Ok...All see Oz run a tight ship but falling way too fast off the Shipping Map!
Again repeating that the faster the North Conglomerate grows the faster ebay GST Oz gets relegated.
Nope! Don't matter how shit hot our Hubs are...we are not in the www Fast Lane & never will be!
Q : Anomaly rank #3 on o/s Big Boyz Cargo Timetable (When / How / Why is that!)
2008-2011 (#3) record Oz bump in Chinese Export/Import (Why!) PM Rudd speaks the Language!
https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/exports/china
Just saying Voting GST / LNP / Stopping Boats mean shit all on World Stage...
Freeing the Boats is the Miracle...Rudd waved his wand to kick start GFC recovery (Got it!)
Soon after back in our dreary dank LNP GST hold #49 Rank as usual.
tbb is also verifying his research Data matches up perfectly to Way of The World Logistics.
Very few dig this deep...but there it is #1 swellnet PM GFC exclusive...all accounted for!
Never went looking for that exactly but ...Yes! Of course knew it would match to GFC China PM Rudd.
Simply dug it out to show greater powers at play that no economists ever trip over...Bingo!
Only Kev can Start our Cargo Boats + #1 Advisor on 3 First Nation Apologies for Oz / Canada / US...
Ya Ain't gonna hear about that outside of VJ's NFE nor on Goldie nor in Qld...our secret! Shh!
Can also see 5 year gap in Covid Data...Chart is fair Dinkum...
Admittedly tricky to read at first but someone goes to great lengths to tabulate World Pecking order!
So how do we break these Chains to flow our economy to wake up our Dying near dead GST.
Should we admit to being that Horrid Hell Hole carbuncle South Pacific Mission.
Just so Oz is best placed to punch above it's weight again like Ruddy! (But How!)
By redesigning role model Ebay City hubs that up value the Ebay supply Chain...
Meaning Oz should prioritize & exploit it's Greatest Weakness as a Default Slave to the Rhythm.
Well more like making waves that sends ships our way by hok or crook...ever ready to Surf.
All city access from all trade routes but in evermore relaxed natural flow on add on order!
We Aussies Hot Wire Ports to proportion greater profit for long haul Cargo.
Govt can mandate and rebate all Oz made add ons in the National Interest.
Like a Silky Slick Silk Road or a deeply rooted Route 66 with Duel Road Demon Diners
Like Ye Olde Goldie Glitter Strip before our naughty but nice vice Timeshare Trolley tarnished it!
Check yer Post Office for them easy to break table sized precious bling ornaments for $49.99...
Clerk : " ...let's see that's $1,100 for mandatory Aukus Sub Shaped Pratt Postage Pack!" ...say wot?
We'll...you don't wanna be held liable for yer classy glass shard blinding the purser's ship cat!
Recall PM mandating -90* Covid Freezers for Syringes that blow apart Plungers / Stoppers at -50*
Everyone dips needles into a Gassy sickly lucky Dip Vat of 100x HM / Petro Chems dirty shots!
So maybe not mandate Frozen Supply Chain without a Grade 7 Exploding Freezer Shit Hot Vid!
Seems as if tbb is not the first to dig this up... others have already sign posted Oz no-hopers Hwy
[ The Role of Distance Decay in Estimating Wider Economic Benefits from Agglomeration! ]

Does that sound desperate or what...tbb's cup of half empty sour grapes with a dash of bitter lemon
Kind like running a restaurant into the ground along the road to nowhere at the end of the universe!
Can share more intro Oz Logistics Reviews below! See how they Quote tbb's intro Chart above...
So Yes! This is a thing that makes & breaks Oz...little is said thru the media though!
But Recall...Not Feds...nor States but Magnates wheel & deal our GST Supply Line delay / impost.
Magnates decide who bears GST impost on which Project for Longest periods.
Likely explains why 1200 Corps don't pay any GST...if they don't wanna!
Kinda shares that Govt would rather not know Which Mobsters Decide Who goes Broke!
Past / Present / Future Oz Logistics Papers!
Very interesting that Howard saw to run this Logistics review...back in 2006...he knew alright!
He did wanna know Why & What Supply anomalies were Bullying or even delaying his GST take.

Might as well put this up in the politics subforum, to spare the front page. It's 18 months away or so, but here we go.
This is how Dutton wins:
