- Comment on Can Australia actually have a sensible debate about immigration? 2 days ago:
At the moment, the majority of us agree that immigration is necessary - particularly of skilled workers. We also agree that we need people in some trades desperately. But, it’s a leap to accept unskilled people into tafe courses and apprenticeship programs.
Especially without investing in TAFE properly.
- Comment on How Australia is Responding to a Second Trump Term 1 week ago:
probs a bad idea jumping into bed with them re AUKUS then, no? They NEED pine gap. About time we start to leverage that. Or at least not piss off the only viable 3rd party vendors being the french.

- Comment on Australia’s 3G Shutdown - Telcos to Block Working 4G/5G Phones! 1 month ago:
Wait, so my phone was brought through Telstra. It’s on boost so I assume no worries there. But my wife’s phone was brought from jb. Are you telling me an iPhone 14 Pro brought from an Australian retailer 12 months ago might no longer work on Telstra?!?!
- Comment on PM warns of 'consequences' as thousands of CFMEU workers march across Australia 2 months ago:
Even IF the CFMEU is fucked, this is massive overreach, imo. Even if we take the claims at total face value, do they want criminals to not have jobs that pay the bills? Because that’s how you get crime. No one is getting into cooking meth for the funsies.
So what are we supposed to do here? Let the union clean itself up? We’ve been making that joke a very long time.

well, I’m stealing something next time I’m in the store then. Fuck this.
- Comment on Telstra, Optus to delay 3G network closure amid public safety concerns 3 months ago:
So you’re not an Aussie? Cool ok so you’ve got no idea what this country is like. That makes sense.
- Comment on Telstra, Optus to delay 3G network closure amid public safety concerns 3 months ago:
I dont think you “get” it. I’m saying people are going to be cut off. 5g simply doesnt reach as far, its coverage range is greatly reduced compared to 3g or even 4g. And there is no solution for that. the telcos sure as shit arnt gonna go out there and build a bunch more towers for no one except a koala or 2 to regularly use. We’re cutting the service to a not 0% of the population.
This might be fine in Europe, But not a large country like us.
- Comment on Telstra, Optus to delay 3G network closure amid public safety concerns 3 months ago:
Better allocation of spectrum is not just for social media. That’s like saying nbn was not needed as what we had before was fast enough for email.
Kind of disagree. NBN didnt cost network to deploy. Well, kind of but kind of not. What does faster netflix mean to someone in a fringe 3g area when we upgrade their 5GN that they cant get anyway?
- Comment on Telstra, Optus to delay 3G network closure amid public safety concerns 3 months ago:
This thing should be shelved indefinitely. We’re taking a massive chunk of the coverage area and scrapping it with 0 intention of applying a better solution here, all so people can get their twitter and email faster.

- Comment on Question about Australian towns 3 months ago:
Have you considered that you are the problem here?
- Comment on Question about Australian towns 3 months ago:
I dont think there is any military worship in any australian town or city? We do have respect for it, especially around the AZACS. But I couldnt tell you jack shit about the aussie military beyond we screwed the french on some subs a while back.
- Comment on Long Centrelink wait times as 11 million calls go unanswered 3 months ago:
You can’t tell me you don’t know of someone on the doll who’s capable of working but doesn’t
Genuinely? No. I dont. I don’t know anyone on the doll at all. My own interactions with centerlink have been extremely limited but all legitimate and I get screwed like everyone else seems to.
I’m not saying people don’t rort the system. I’m not saying that we shouldnt do something about those that do. I am saying people are falling through the gaps who have a genuine need and thats a real issue, but your focus seems to be more on those doing the wrong thing and ignoring those who need help!
Hence, kindly, I suggest you get some perspective and stop making love to your own skull!
- Comment on Long Centrelink wait times as 11 million calls go unanswered 3 months ago:
There is definitely a lot of abuse in the system as it stands unfortunately and making Centrelink less of an inconvenience doesn’t really make a lot of sense…
there is abuse of the NDIS too, but what do we do, stuff the NDIS participants and throw the baby out with the bathwater?
Needs to be managed a shit ton better, I agree. But we cant screw those who are vulnerable who are doing the right thing for “justice”.
- Comment on Long Centrelink wait times as 11 million calls go unanswered 3 months ago:
What about those calling centerlink to sort of maternity leave because their employer screwed them out of job whilst pregnant? What about people who were stood down cause of the economy and needing support to get back on their feet? Also, and hear me out on this one, what about you not being a fuckhead?
- Comment on Two Australians charged with spying offences for allegedly conspiring to share ADF secrets with Russia 4 months ago:
If all of these charges are true, it appears two Russian spies came to Australia, obtained citizenship, and one subsequently obtained clearance to some documents through some form of employment in the ADF.
In that case the ADF needs a end to end 3rd party investigation as to how they fucked up this bad. How the hell does yogi bear get employed by the national parks service?! And thats not a Russian bear jab, I just couldn’t think of a less appropriate employee to a job posting.

- Comment on A person's home may be their castle but if they leave it vacant can they really complain if it gets taken away? 4 months ago:
there are at least 3 empty homes in my estate. probably more that I havnt noticed. 4 bedroom homes just sitting doing nothing. Driving up prices for first home owners trying to break into the market. Creating scarcity in the rental market driving up prices for renters. Anyway you slice it thats just wrong. if you want it to sit there empty as the owner thats fine, its your property, but we should be taxing you out the asshole and investing that money in flooding the market with more homes.

- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 5 months ago:
I mean, it’s one way to solve the Gippsland problem: abandoned town tours after the private sector RBMK’s the fuck outta Traralgon. Because let’s be super clear here: private industry has a dog shit safety record, and IF the thing gets build (it won’t) they’ll build the cheapest fucking reactor they can. If the government try to regulate (they won’t) it’ll be too cost inefficient to work (it already is) so we’d gonna end up with an industry that’d make a Soviet engineer worried!
