Tell them to fuck off, the funding we will source elsewhere. Will be painful but I would prefer short term pain then Australia being bullied into unwanted ideologies.

I am quite happy with that budget. As a low income worker with a student debt there is alot more in the budget then I expected. The tax reduction, elect rebate, student debt reduction.

That plus Labor’s future made in australia initiative has at least earned my initial interest for getting my vote when election comes close.

To be honest all the smart ones did see this coming from this idiotic administration. This is Trumps administration team we are talking about. Going back as far as the press conference at the Four Seasons Lawnscaping their ineptitude to even be thought as having any sort of credible capability was known.

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

—Martin Niemöller

Edit: Freedom of Speech huh

Oh hell yeah, I saw a commenter in a previous article relating to CANZUK say “The US CANZUK our balls!” and I am really fighting the urge to get a t-shirt with this printed on it.

From your response I am assuming you voted for Trump. If so may I ask where you got your i formation from regarding all his policies leading up to the election?

I really we hope we find another solution that does not involve Leon.

Thats right, these rich and wealthy are happy to sacrifice the current economy for a recession for their “plan”. I hope the average joe worker who voted them in is ready for that sacrifice for the next few years because it’s going to be rough but don’t you mind the rich and wealthy will be fine as they buy the low dip on well everything enriching themselves further.

Man people are dumb, for those that still think this is a good idea here is the logic. Tariffs increase the price to bring in goods to a country, the supplier will typically add this additional price increase and charge it back onto the buyer to absorb. Meaning the buyer will see an increase.

Now let’s say Trump is doing this to bring production back to the States, in order to be successful you need to keep costs down as low as possible. This is also the reason alot of countries sent their production overseas because it’s cheaper (wages for example). So in order for the US to even begin competing with production giants like China and keep costs down means workers in the US have to get used to the idea of China style wages and work conditions. Hence Trumps reasoning for giving more power back to companies so that in X years US becomes the new production hub. But the pain to get there is going to be astronomical for the US. Feel free to add or point out any illogical thought processes in my opinion.

I hope our government uses this to find more stable trading partners. I wonder if Germany, China or Japan can take up some slack in relation to the aluminium.

I don’t understand why so much death of innocent kids can then just be swept under the guise of some “god’s will” with these religions. In light of today’s advancements and studies their distrust of reality is what causes these events. To me they are monsters for not taking the steps necessary to protect their own community. I am all for people needing or wanting religion but the longer your religion clings to the past then be prepared for such events. Just a shame of all the other innocent lives that might be lost because of these actions as well.

But if another country wanted to then I am all for it. Yours Truly the Australian Arachnophobiac.
