Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

I haven't voted Labor in a long time lol

long as it wasn't Green Mac

 

[Mac]

It's subjective. Where do you draw the line ?

On debt? I draw the line from 2013 until just before the pandemic? You?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Not a chance.
Gillard and Rudd were worse.

difference is turnbull tried to destroy a party from within and almost got the job done too
He is salty now and tried in 2019 to encourage a vote for independents and is doing it again. The Liberals should disindorse him

 

[Mac]

long as it wasn't Green Mac

Maybe preferenced them below the line in the senate. Otherwise no lol

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

as robust as in here gets we all still have the Tigers to cheer on

I'd rather my doctor be the smartest graduate - not the richest?

I know several young doctors and they are really smart and they have to work really really hard.

I can make a small argument against what you are stating. My dad was a specialist doctor. He got into uni after getting a pass mark. You didn't have to be that smart to get into uni. You could get into any course so long as you got that pass mark. My dad worked his backside off though to get his degree and then his specialty. I think it's a bit of a shame you have to get such a high mark to become a doctor.

We have to keep providing free education. It shouldn't be about the rich getting richer but those that work hard and have the ability get ahead.

I'm not arguing against government. I think you need a well managed government. Maybe our problem isn't spending but not paying enough tax.

So Earl, re tertiary education you agree?

Jesus you never give up. Raise taxes now?
We pay too much tax as it is.
Those in charge have to spend it wisely. The waste is disgusting.

Sorry Earl, didn't read your whole post. Depends when your dad matriculated. If it was before "free" tertiary he got a - bursary/scholarshoip? - cant remember the word, Either way he was one of the smartest in the group? Not the richest.

 

[Mac]

I know! Sliding doors.

That sounds fair.

It would have been free. There is no way his parents paid. My point being that he didn't have to be that smart. He had to be smart enough to finish the course. He said the dropout rate was huge.

 

[Mac]

Why am I half pissed on a Tigers forum talking politics? lol

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

So would you rather people be homeless and not eat due to things out of their control ?

Dude I absolutely support government supporting those who lost jobs and businesses due to COVID. I'm taking the piss out of the person on here who doesn't under the apparent guise that national debt is too bad to support people and get them back into employment.

 

[earl]

The Liberals were in fact liberal not conservative.

There is a massive difference right. It's a good point.

 

[BZN]

His used name is Bong Bong his surname is Marcos.Also there are close ties between the Marcos family and the Duterte family.Both families are rotten to the core

I think it's absolutely amazing how many politicians, governments, Premiers, Prime Ministers, Presidents around the world are corrupt or "rotten to the core".
Are the silent majority, us ordinary people able to do anything about it though?
Do the people in power now have to much control and therefore power over Us already?
The fact Scomo doesnt want an ICAC should tell Us something...and I feel that something is "voter beware'' ... think carefully before you cast your vote...and make Your vote count the best way you feel it can to help Everyone here in the NO 1 country in the World...the Lucky country...of course being Australia

Earl? It meant he was the smartest in his cohort. He wasn't the richest? Couldn't pay for his degree? The fact others dropped out means nothing. He earned his academic spot - didn't buy it?

This is a sweet but ultimately ignorant take on politics.
They are all as bad as each other.
