This is some prime authoritarian bullshit. Who needs properly declared laws and rules anyway, the current administration are “the good guys”, right?? They’ll just tell you if you’re wrong.
This is the right way to make laws and rules.
It’s the same way we do tax - self compliance. You self report but if you’re caught breaking the rules then you face punishments.
If the administration just made a list of who’s effected, it would be perpetually incomplete. This way, everyone is effected.
They can’t just unilaterally decide that your self assessment is “wrong” without explanation. Also their decisions about who is effected are public, and can be relied on by others to self assess.
“Just make the rules super vague and subject to a single person mood on the day and if you break them you’re all sorts of fucked”…… you’re not serious are you?
Absolutely nothing about these authoritarian rules are “public”. It’s just more power being handed to the eKaren to use for her political and ideological reasons, with exactly zero accountability, oversight, or way for us to have a say.
This leads to overzealous blocking because it might be by some interpretation applicable to you/your product.
Thus you will be blocking in advance just so you don’t face charges.
Great.
No it doesn’t. Our tax system works the same way. It doesn’t lead to overzealous deduction denial because people are worried about getting it wrong.
Its an efficient and transparent approach.
Maybe for money where they can calculate the risks. But IMHO not for more severe (for example percentage based) punishments where companies will actively try to avoid getting in the crosshairs.
I see it a bit iffy. Yes, your argument is valid but I have a feeling mine is so too.
Also, isn’t it a bit weird to generalize a tax system in an international context?
No, they’re the ‘better than the last lot’ party. Labor are a party of and for Landlords.
The Greens are the good party.
The greens are worse than Labor. They used to actually care about the environment, now they’re just a radical left communist-lite bunch of career politicians who only care about other countries and their own bank accounts.
the greens are, unfortunately, still just career politicians who think they are trying
Given the bad incentives on parties from our two party system then even Greens would eventually become bad (unless they managed to fix the voting system they just won on…).
The greens have managed to get corrupt and shitty without ever getting in power.
Power corrupts…
Labor are a party of and for Landlords.
Bullshit.
It was only 8 years ago Labor campaigned on removing capital gains tax discounts which would’ve been a huge kick up the ass for landlords.
They lost that election in spectacular fashion.
Their own review found that was almost entirely due to the unlikeability of Bill Shorten, but is trundled out by every rusted on labor voter every time.
Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.
They’ve done nothing about housing since they’ve been in power and keep decrying the previous government as if their still in opposition.
Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.
This is the dumbest theory that only a child would believe.
Australians have a vested interest in keeping property prices high. Everyone owns property, not just Labor candidates.

It’s shocking how quickly the free world is backsliding into fascism.
I genuinely think this has to do with the next generation of idiots taking their place. My generation has been conditioned to roll over like punk-bitches in the face of conflict so they’re easier to exploit.
It’s literally seen as embarrassing to stand up for yourself.
