- Comment on Norway struck oil in the 60s. Now it has trillions. This is how Australia compares 2 weeks ago:
Australia can stop having the mentality of being a colony who only exists to be harvested by the elite.
We need to be a completely independent self determining republic so we are forced to stand on our own two feet and make our own future.
People say “but the monarchy is only a figurehead and has no power”. I think we all know the power of ideas and figureheads after seeing the havoc wreaked by the extremists in the US. Ideas and beliefs shape our aspirations and goals.
And it would be nice to have a Bill of Rights and a fair reporting doctrine to protect us from undue influence .

- Comment on New BoM website has rolled out 4 weeks ago:
was accessible for mobile users, since that is how we access the internet
We? Who is we? You don’t speak for everyone and it seems to be an over generalisation.
got some facts for that ( I’m a gen xer )
It’s stupid logical fallacies and talk like that that lead people to vote for arseholes.
But anyway tell me about that internet thing you young whippersnapper? ;) I’ve only been using it since 1982
- Comment on New BoM website has rolled out 4 weeks ago:
I’d say this one was pretty due.
Why is it due? What was wrong with the old one?
What does screen reader compatibility even mean? Whose screen? Mine? I use a lap top.
Who cares what the average user expects, it’s up to the smart people to set the standard, not the other way around.

- Comment on At $4.5bn each year extreme weather is costing Australia three times as much compared with 1990s, insurers say 1 month ago:
these articles are so lazy, of course there is more payout, the population has boomed
so more people with insurance policies, more claims
and with booming population all the really safe places to build have been taken, we are now onto less safe places
and corrupt councils run by the real state lobby have stuffed up zoning, a lot of places, like flood zones, should never be built on

- Comment on Why the cost of living crisis will not get better 2 months ago:
Wages have dropped to one third in value in the past 50 years.
It’s wages.
If this happened quickly we would say it’s a crisis but because it’s been slow it’s been easy for employers to blame inflation for losses in living standards.
Join a union.
Meanwhile, Trump/maga are engineering a world economic crash. I suggest people cut costs, even if that means living with extended family, and save.
- Comment on Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge 2 months ago:

This is just another example of Russian aggression against the democratic west
- Comment on Many primary school kids will never have a male teacher, and experts say that's a problem 2 months ago:

- Comment on Anglicare’s Rental Affordability Snapshot 2025 | Anglicare 6 months ago:
shameful
so much blame on negative gearing for high prices and cost of housing
but I think we need to take a very close look at the real estate industry, how they inflate house prices and how they gouge both landlords and tenants with fees based on rental price.

- Comment on Housing, we all know 6 months ago:
I suggest we also remember that prices are only half the story, wages have stayed flat for 50 years. Our wages have 1/3 the buying power of 50 years ago.
