Ummm... Obama beat Hilary Clinton in the primary in no small part because he opposed the Iraq war. The Labor party at the time opposed…

There is a huge moral difference among all those things. It's immensely shortsighted to say that just because everything can have a moral…

This is the problem with Australians. We long ago gave up any sense of our political power and are completely incapable of thinking about…

You can smell the desperation.

What separation? Musk is using the money from the purchase of Tesla cars to empower Trump. He literally bought votes in Wisconsin by…

Also Obama and Scomo both talked about their Christianity in wildly different terms. Scomo literally said he was on a mission from god.…

Sure. That doesn't affect whether I, as an Australian, am allowed to say I dislike him?

Let me spell this out, because people like you really don't seem to get it. A value added tax, like the GST, applies to everything.…

You may recall that our decision to follow Bush Jr to Iraq resulted in some of the largest protests in Australia's history. So yes, people…

Wot? People don't like Trump because he's a moronic egomaniac who is burning the world economy to the ground. It's got nothing to do with…

Trying to use reason with jv is a mistake. One I've made too many times.

Nah. I'm not going to bother. You are convinced that there is a dispute among scientists on the science of climate change. That means that…

As sniagrab said, these don't exist. There's good reason to believe they will never exist. Announcables are easy. The projects that do…

That you don't actually understand climate science. Which means your cost/benefit analysis of what is necessary for the long-term survival…

There is a consensus among climate scientists. Only influencers posing as scientists are debating whether anthropogenic climate change…

I'm sorry to be blunt, but your dream is for a different reality. Private sector nuclear in Australia is non-viable. In fact, it's…

But literally the only policy that is even remotely possible is government funded. The economics of private don't add up. Nobody is…

Tell me, do you believe in climate change? And, if so, do you think Australia should try to reduce its emissions? I was going to engage,…

They are incompatible technologies at scale in Australia. The timelines, costs and incompatibility make it a distraction. Nobody who…

Do you realise that the LNP policy still has the overwhelming majority of demand in Australia being met by renewable energy by 2050? Their…

Well said mate. I hope people read and actually comprehend what you're saying. Quite simply the most accurate assessment of nuclear power,…

Cool, except that's not the LNP policy. They are saying the government will build, own and run all the nuclear power plants. And they have…

The problem is that tariffs are going to be inflationary. So if they cut interest rates they will add to an inflationary environment. The…

Cool cool. I look forward to you buying your $180k Toyota Camry equivalent manufactured in Australia

You really don't understand this stuff do you? Tariffs are by definition discriminatory. Value add taxes are by definition universal.

As reflected in the comments below, it really depends on your use case. This machine is usable 4s after turning it on. It's a huge plus.…

IKR. I feel like chemistry in school should teach the Maillard reaction as a matter of course.

I'm not one to tell people how to spend their money, but these pots are gimmicky and not particularly useful. Having one non stick…

Ah fair enough. I was basing it on the Amazon listing. Did seem very high, but thought it might have been targeted at car campers
