Don't threaten me with a good time.

With the exception of the festival attack you could just as easily be describing the IDF. Hamas and the IDF are evil.

I am one of the biggest critics of the Libs but I don't think the whole AUKUS debacle can be 100% blamed on them.
The whole thing screams the US forcing Australia to buy the subs to ensure long term control.
If the government doesn't do what they are told then the US can refuse to maintain the subs.
Remember the last prime minister who looked out for Australia's best interests rather than the US's interests got kicked out of government and an unelected lib Prime minister replaced him.

Maybe try some of the newer oat milks.
They don't taste the same but they taste good.

The problem with that argument is that if a house is owner occupied then that still happens.
If the hot water goes then it doesn't matter who owns the house. A plumber will get paid to fix/replace it. In fact he will probably be paid more if the owner lives at the property because they will want a better system so that they can have longer showers.

The rich put them there. We Australians don't really have a choice. The Libs are complete garbage and Labor have abandoned their principles just to get power. They are only slightly better?
What other choice do we have?

The problem is that those people who will be given the voice will actively work against the needs of those they pretend to represent. Just like all politicians.
How will that help anyone?

It's very relevant. We need to decide if we want to irrevocably change the country. We need more than "don't worry about it"

Something I have not seen discussed anywhere.
They do not specify that this group will be elected. That mean they will be appointed. I just can't see future for this other than a punch of politicians mates from the inner city. Completely out of touch with the needs of those they represent.
I'm still leaning towards voting yes but I don't see this actually helping. It's probably just going to cost the tax payers a bunch of money and do no good.
If they were elected then they could be held to account.

There are also situations where there is no good option but you still need it. I live in Victoria. Most of our power comes from brown coal.
I have solar panels but that only covers part of it. I can't afford the $5-10k for batteries so I have no choice but to keep using grid power. Even if I did spend that, there is no guarantee that it will be better.

Tell me about it. It took me about 15 minutes to do mine and my wife's taxes this year.

So frustrating. It works if you are actively going back and forth. If you put the phone down for half an hour and then try to go back though. Good luck finding where you were.
