It's full of compromise. You will notice that even the poor have to contribute to the social welfare insurance. The labour pool in mining can easily be transferred to manufacturing and transportation..............
Let's look at it another way. A standard two adult, two kid family irrespective of whether they live in Windale or Rankin Park would in general terms have very similar cost of living expenses excluding housing. The same car rego, same light bills, same phone bills, same fuel bills. The difference is actually quite small. Yet because of income levels the rich as a proportion of income spend less.
What ideas like my manifesto float is to equalise the cost of living without preventing people from moving up and ensuring fairness.
yeah this here is some absolute codswallop.
this whole "yeah finish one job on friday start your new one monday" is some bullshit that keeps getting peddled.
im not sure you know the % of 'unskilled' labour up in the mines and to just say 'oh yeah dumptruck driver on $120k+ theres a job for you at the windmill on the same cash with no down period' is crap and you all know it.
meanwhile dumptruck driver still getting that mortgage hit every month, and his kids gotta eat every day. but yeah, im sure him and all the other TA's up there are cool cool with all the uncertainty of whether they have any sort of future based on the whim of Politicians eager to get in that photo with Greta.
legit nonsense.
Skirt Boys version of capitalism looks awfully communist in appearance
Forcing people to accept lower than market value for providing of goods and services ain't gonna wash for anyone
Just as being told where you can live won't wash
Imagine being told to live in Woy Woy or Gosford ??
The problem with you communist sympathisers wanting to put your utopian dream on the rest of us is that you can currently go live in China or Nth Korea and live your dream now
Why don't you??
again, nonsense.
road drivers earn about 1/2 what the guys in the mines do.
plus with an oversupply in the market why would any wages increase due to demand for drivers.So does the govt now subsidise wages? awesome, more middle class welfare. making renewables even more costly. exactly what you want.
its a lovely concept in theory but it just wont work. and this is where the argument always falls down, and why getting idiots like teenagers and bartenders to be your spokespeople is foolish.
its equivalent to just telling people "she'll be right mate" and no one wants to hear that about their livelihood.
no one.
Theres enough coal to last 100 years under current rates. Why would something think the industry has only 5 years left?
even as 'we' move away from it, they are still gonna export it to other countries.
you guys love telling other people how to spend their money. if hes on $120k and has a house and a couple of kids you'd be shocked to learn how little that kind of cheque covers.
why you want everyone else to be miserable just because y'all are?
i mean, they set off not one but two ****ing nukes about 75 years ago and we all still out here going "you know what, those things are bad we should get rid of them".
legit, China Japan and India are building coal fired stations at a cracking pace. you think they are planning on shutting them down in 5, 10 or 20 years?
nah. we gonna be selling that black death for many many years to come.
oh wait, sorry forgot AOC said the world will end in 12 anyway. no need to stress, lets just party and hope the Jets get another Prem between now and Doomsday.
No one wants to build new coal fired power plants other than a select few nations, so once the current plants shut down who's gonna buy it? The boom is done. Investors are staying away from it, it's only the government trying to keep the dream going cause they don't want to the stress of revolutionising our economy without it.
I used to work for a fabrication shop that probably made 80% of its money working on mining equipment but within 5 years us, and another 10 or so similar shops, either shut down or had to diversify. The coal beast is shrinking faster than you can imagine.
And the guy on $120k a year knows full well that he's not going to have that cheque long, if he doesn't get skilled up to find a new job then that's on him/her. Plus they will have decent welfare to fall back on in SBs world so don't worry too much.
No I ain't claiming that you get paid according to how much work you do
I am saying that you are successful when you work hard. That is a common theme in life for successful people
They actually work hard
Messi don't just rock up and kick a ball about on the weekend.
Tiger don't just stroll onto the first tee and shoot in the 60s
These guys work their arses off away from competition to be as successful as they are
Talent only gets them so far
Same as all that other crap you offered up
It only gets you so far
It what you do that determines whether you are successful or not
So working hard = success?
Cause that's an absolute load of BS. You show me 1 example of it and I can show a million other than don't.
There is absolutely no proof that working hard will guarantee you success, there's also little proof that successful people have worked hard. Most of them are just lucky enough to be born into the right family.
I could sit here and tear most of this socialist dream apart piece by piece
But let's just focus on 6 and 15
Why exactly are you suggesting initiatives that will institutionalise racism and sexism ??
Considering the left are all for Equal Opportunity and all that BS .....
Why exactly are you wanting to force weaker candidates into education opportunities over others who achieved better on merit and you do so based on their alleged victim status levels and secondly why do you wish to force quotas in parliament where you are trying to put token candidates in their based on their sex or race??
If they are good enough they get voted in the first place. There is a perfectly good reason why there is a small supply of women in parliament. The public does not vote based on whether the candidates have a vagina or not. They actually vote on who they think is the better candidate
Here is a giant problem with your stance you are actually trying to force ideas into practice that are sexist and racist in nature all the while failing to accept a merit based system
There are only a few guarantees in life
Just being born into the right family isn't one.
Everyone has opportunities and challenges
You though seem to be focused on the rich as you seem to envy and be jealous of them
There is only one man on the planet that I am envious of and if you are that worried about what others have and have not then that says more about you and your failings as a human
