@@alancotterell9207It isn't your (typically leftist, simplistic, straw man argument) matter of China "invading Australia." It's the very real concerns about a powerful totalitarian, mass surveillance social credit enforcing, slave labour using state, which knowingly unleashed Covid on the world and on us, dominating this part of the world including Australia. We need to move away from totalitarian China and towards democratic India.
@actualfacts1055 let's start by campaigning to get our gas industry back. There is a long history of corruption and incompetence from both political parties here.So bad it requires a Royal Commission and severe penalties - Australian people have been putting up with this shit far too long Australia should be the world's wealthiest country.
@@lloydsingline340 As contracted gas projects are exhausted gas companies have no interest in investing in new projects because of Labor's price caps so tax payers will have to invest billions to start up new Government gas companies to extract the gas if the Greens allow them to.
@@Poorlineforeva you mean like Sam dastary, Eddie obede, Ian MacDonald or Kristina keneally and the aldi bags of money from chinese government officials
What i love most about this nuclear plan is that the energy under Dutton will be owned so to speak by us, the government, whereas the renewable energy is all owned by private corporations from overseas. We should never have sold of our power and water to overseas greedy corporations. Bring it all back to us.
And where do you think the enriched uranium is going to come from? The US finds itself in a pickle at the moment because it still relies on Russia for some of its enriched uraniun for its power plants. There are only a handful of countries that have the capacity to enrich uranium for power plants. At least with renewables, we are not dependent on overseas supplies for the fuel.
@@tassied12 > US finds itself in a pickle ??? Yeah, we decommission Russian atomic bombs, turn it into fuel for the US civilian sector - and this is a pickle? If the Russians stopped selling, we would just a) reset our own domestic production, or b) buy from the UK or France. Not a major pickle. Maybe a smallish gherkin.
@bradhogan646 but they still will, NDIS is a rort. The people who are in need, shouldn't have holidays paid for them, the kids who have support workers, shouldn't have house maids
You know that there are those that would be fucked without the NDIS in this rising cost and housing crisis including me. As you seem to want me to live in povo and be homeless as I live in SIL that is dependent on the NDIS. Is it enough that the DSP had flatlined because for privileged ableist people like you? I’m on the DSP diagnosed as an autistic person. What? You’d rather want disabled Australians live like Palestinians in Gaza right here in Australia. Fuck you!
@@heatherstewart8452what are you on about. I pay to go on holidays on my own. I went to a convention in Qld once this year all out of my own pocket with the money I saved from Newcastle and that includes hotel accommodation and transport. I don’t get “holidays” from NDIS funding. Only assistants. And these “holidays” with NDIS funding is rarely lux 5 star travel and hotel accommodation you’d seem to think about. As there are many of us that are fine with just basic things. And these holidays you think of is actually respite from some of the abuse some of us most likely have coped from our peers for our disabilities. Especially Nerodivergents. So are you also against women getting free accommodation to get away from their abusive husbands or even their kids from their abusive parents?
Nuclear energy will sell it itself by its powers, realbility, economic benefits, as clean , jobs,jobs,jobs, profitability , simply common sense approach thinking, definitely 🇺🇸🐖❤️🤗🇦🇺💯🌎👍 12:11
The ACCC is responsible for enforcing Australia's antitrust laws. However Coles, Woolies and Amazon seem to be monopolies. How did that happen while we had a highly-paid ACCC Commisioner ?
Because they are useless, we create government departments but then never make sure they are doing what we expect. The departments keeping asking for money, get it, and grow into lazy monoliths
The ACCC can only act on what's reported to them, even then they are bound by several layers of additional bureaucratic red tape the Coalition have built up over their many years in power. Not the least of which being a divestment of Public Services & Servant roles being outsourced to the private sector, which is a common theme across all Public Services and Departments for the Coalition. This outsourced Divestment of responsibilities by the Coalition means for any two private entities to co-ordinate and share information they would need to have several Privacy of Information sharing requests filled out in order to do so. As these are not automatically dispatched or processed, the relevant authorities usually never receive such reports or the appropriate information needed to act upon the reports if they get them. This is considerably less efficient than the centralised Public Services system, not to mention more expensive too. However, as the expenses are lumped under a single non-descriptive banner, they are simply written off as part of the total expense of what ever main department or service they are filled under. In the case of the plethora of Private entities in unemployment from Job Networks to Certificate 3 Training shell companies to the outsourcing of even Centrelink itself; For all these, they are listed as a lumped expense under the total Welfare Expenses for the Budget. Which, in this case, makes up at least half the total expenses of Welfare due to the inefficient and decentralised privatisation of the genuinely fictitious "Employment Industry" that was born from it. In the case of the ACCC and the various supporting departments that would supply information & reports to it. They are likely listed under an innocuous but positive sounding Title in the Budget to obfuscate the many layers of bureaucratic corporate protections the Coalition have added over the years. The fact is the ALP are tackling the issue from an alternate avenue, which they are usually forced to do due to the scale & depth of the Coalitions meddling, which would actually hit not only the big players in particular industry's but the numerous shell companies and "Scam" businesses. Such small shell & "Scam" private entities are built using the plethora of loopholes and distinct lack of regulatory legislation the Coalition has embedded into our Economic Legislation, these issues will take years to find & fix which the ALP doesn't have presently. As such, they are using another method to reduce the profitability of price gouging Monopoly/Oligopoly big businesses and the shell & "Scam" low cost/high profit businesses. If they continue to do business they way they are or attempt to create the Shell & "Scam" businesses then they will only be contributing more to the Federal Budget in Revenue, allowing the Government to reinvest that revenue gained back into Anti-Trust Legislation and Expanding the Regulatory Bodies to solve the more long term issues. The Oppositions Anti-Trust/Divestment proposal is a far smaller stick than they would like you to believe. It's not realistically going to solve the issue in the short or long term, just force the dominant companies in industries to break up their single registered business into multiple registered businesses but still all under one corporation. Essentially it is just a means of forcing them to hide their finances better in the bureaucratic mess the Coalition has already made for such purposes. It's honestly pathetic that so many of our citizens get duped into voting against their better interests most of the time....
Corporations are now running the government and the voters come a dead last, as no one listens to them. Haven't you noticed this? Vote for minor parties like One Nation to stop the rot.
@@PaulSmith-ss6zmjust being silly now. That might be how it works in America but this is Australia. She has about four years before she faces an election.
This divestiture, must also happen to the Big Banks, as they are too powerful to be trusted to stay out of politics, and in line with that, Australians need to have a people based Bank, that is available across the country in Post Offices, YES, a POST OFFICE BANK...!!
@@jamesflannery-serle3489 I gather you're a shareholder? Do you know Australian supermarkets mainly Coles and Woolies have more than double the profitability of supermarket chains overseas? I gotta say your defence of them for the profits of their shareholders at the expense of Australian farmers and consumers is more than sad.
@@jamesflannery-serle3489 I can understand, that business need to be able to create profits for they share holders, but duopolies should not be allowed to create a situation were they can force prices up wards, so as to grab as much profit, as they can lever, that is why there needs to be as much competition in the market as possible, to keep them honest...!!
Plus they are building huge infrastructure of solar farms, wind farms and transmissions lines all over the country much that will involve clearing land, this supposedly is going to be good for the environment? It will definitely be good for the indigenous groups Albo will be paying millions in compensation to for building all this rubbish on their land
Labor just keep resorting to telling lies about everything, hopefully just like the referendum Australians see through their pathetic lies and vote against Labor again
My fellow Aussies 🎉are you aware the Woolworths and Coles and all affiliated companies are not Australian owned, they are owned and dictatored by Vanguard and Blackrock 🎉
The duopoly of Coles and Woolies needs to be sorted out as they can't justify the rise of prices they continue to do as every shopper will know that shops regularly,,, They have had it to good for too long,,,,
Politicians are full of fasle hopes and lies and so is the media You interview these people and nothing happens. nothing. Its the middle class that pay and suffer. I've just found my house, contents and one car policy haa gone up 60%. I just want to off this mouse wheel.
Government seems to think they need to interfere in everything the consumers can do themselves. Government decides what they like without consulting the public. She literally says: you obey or you will be punished!!!!! How dare these people play the big daddy punishing their children as if they owned the country. They are employees of the public and the public can tell them to behave or they get punished. Disgusting lot, can't listen to this arrogant lot.
How does a gov. break up a multi national supermarket. They might as well break up any multinational company. There will be many very costly repercussions.
What needs to be Publicly advertised is how much the farmer is being paid for a product compared to the supermarket price. Add the cost of transportation to the equation & see what they are charging, is it a fair price otherwise they could be the culprits of high prices.
I said once before, Australia needs to be run by industrialists with a vision , goals ,and common sense, not by stupid half wit politicians who don't know what they're doing and put Australia into more debt as time goes on
Here we are arguing about nuclear power and Albo the Weak doing his scaremongering best to frighten us with the usual crap, while France, for example, which is 100% nuclear powered, is busy contemplating alternative options but hasn’t found a better alternative. Albo the Weak won’t make a decision unless Wong the Horrible gives it her imprimatur. But in the meantime we have to tolerate his scurrilous rhetoric!
So out of touch Why do you think Trump is so loved - outside of corporate media Because he supports USA 1st Not a mention here of big super market chains stocking Australian products ! That’s what we want from a government to put Australia and Australians 1st - especially our farmers and local grown produce
I have been trying to talk farmers into a starve the city campaign as those in the city make all the policy for farmers and set the price to be paid to the farmers so by not sending produce to market I am sure in a week those in the city will pay a fair good price to the farmer for their produce
@@Poorlineforeva obviously you live in the city I live out in a farming town and I rely on farm work to survive and if the farmer can't pay me because the market went down the toilet due to the market but cloesworth were still charging up to 5x what the bosses were getting now where does it cost 5x what the farmer gets to get it on the shelf it's already sorted and packed in most cases they just have to put it out
@@Esword-h5w farmers can move their stuff easily it's just the contracts that Woolworths and Coles make them sign basically screws the farmers and it's always the ones in the city making policies about how to farm and they have never farmed in their lives
So Labour is better? Are you trying to ruin this country. I live in Victoria, which has the worst LNP but we cannot leave Labour in again as our state is almost destitute and and large amounts of government land has been handed to Aboriginals.
oh good, the coalition thinks they are going to run shops better than shops do. and they think that multiple supply chains will lower prices further than one. the supermarkets aren't the problem, the price inputs dictated by govts are the problem.
@@Poorlineforeva if you don't understand the basic terminology, there is no point discussing anything with you. I suggest you read 'run spot run, see spot pick up the bare minimum education to discuss anything economic' to get you started.
