Labor created this absolute abomination and now tens of thousands are suckling on the tax payer tit. You will hear all sorts of horror stories from ken and Barbie on how this will make getting iPads, luxury cars and holidays from the tax payer much harder.
The NDIS is the worst scheme any government has made the past 50 years. Absolutely lovely on the surface, but has created an absolute money black hole for tax payers money.

Once you get a taste of freedom and doing what you want whenever you want it's nearly impossible to give that up and all this nonsense about "the white race is being bred out" and "Australian culture is being bred out" is peak who cares for me, I don't care about the state of white people and Australian culture long after I'm dead I've got a maximum of 40 years left to live I'm going to enjoy it playing golf and painting. | 1 |

1ctv2cf | Two in three dollars allocated to new road and rail projects in Tuesday’s budget went to Labor held electorates, sparking hypocrisy claims from the Coalition. Labor allocated $4.1 billion for 64 new priority infrastructure projects, $2.7 billion of which went to Labor seats, according to analysis of Infrastructure Department data by The Australian Financial Review.
Labor stashes away billions for road and rail projects in its own seats. Sydney Morning Herald The money for new projects was in addition to $10.1 billion over 10 years towards dozens of projects already being jointly funded with the states. The bulk of the new money, about $1.9 billion, went to 14 new projects in western Sydney. Among the cash splash was $115 million for upgrades to Mulgoa Road in the Liberal held marginal seat of Lindsay. A version of the same project was axed by Infrastructure Minister Catherine King six months ago in response to the review of the $120 billion 10-year Infrastructure Investment Pipeline.
Advertisement Overall, NSW got $2.5 billion for 23 new road and rail projects with $1.85 billion allocated to Labor seats. About $340 million was given to Coalition seats and $215 million for projects that run over multiple, mixed electorates. Queensland was allocated three new projects worth $192 million. The bulk of that went to the Labor seat of Blair for two highway upgrades worth $177 million. A further $15 million was allocated to the Liberal seat of Petrie.
Infrastructure Minister Catherine King said the government had worked closely with the states and territories to invest in the projects that needed money the most, and were guided by them to assess priority. “The majority of our investments in this budget went to ensure existing projects can be delivered, as well as in fast-growing areas like western Sydney and south-east Queensland,” Ms King told the Financial Review. “The Commonwealth cannot deliver projects that the states and territories are not supportive of. We saw the outcome of this with the Liberals and Nationals announcing project after project that were never delivered.” Just over half new projects were in Labor seats, though almost half of those – 14 small projects worth about $444 million – were in the Northern Territory where the party holds both federal lower house seats. The Territory’s election is scheduled for August this year. In Tasmania, three out of six new projects were in Labor seats and received the bulk of new money – about $120 million of the $171 million, which was largely for upgrades to the Lyell and Huon highways. Big winner A further $47 million went to transport projects in the seat of Clark around Hobart where independent Andrew Wilkie is the local MP. Victoria received just over $17.6 million for three new projects, all of which were in Coalition seats, but was ultimately the big infrastructure winner in the budget, receiving $5 billion for 27 existing projects. That commitment means Victoria received the largest share of new money allocated to the 10-year $120 billion Infrastructure Investment Program in Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ third budget, almost $2 billion more than NSW. There is also $1.8 billion still unallocated in NSW, with many new projects currently in the planning phase, and anticipated to move to construction phase in the near future. Across new and existing projects, Queensland was allocated $2.5 billion, while Western Australia received $2.3 billion, about 75 per cent of which was for WA Labor’s signature Metronet train network. South Australia got $160 million for seven new projects, just $5 million of which went to Labor seats. The bulk of the money – about $136 million – went to two road projects in the independent seat of Mayo. Shadow Infrastructure Minister Bridget McKenzie accused Labor of using the budget to “bail out” Labor premiers and satiate local Labor MPs. “It should have focussed on giving the Reserve Bank of Australia confidence in their fiscal approach, so interest rates can be reduced and cost of living pressures relieved,” Senator McKenzie said. “This government spreadsheet has only one colour, and it’s a sea of red.” stashes away billions for road and rail project announcements ahead of federal election. | 1 |

Our landscapes are way way more varied than Canada's are because we cover more climate zones. Imagine there there was BC and Nunavut, but then also several more, and a visitor was going to spend two months just on PEI. | 0 |

1d4rhnw | I don't think the Spectator has a good read on the issue. While it's technically true once we become a republic there is probably no going back, it's also unlikely we will become a republic any time soon.
The failed republic referendum shut down the issue for decades. There was a question around when it would come up again, but the voice referendum made it clear the answer was probably no time soon. It echoed the results of the republic ref despite positive early polling. | 0 |

There will always be an emotional component to Nuclear powder electricity generation especially site selection. But at the moment this simply doesn't pass the back of the napkin economic test.
> CSIRO’s GenCost report showed that once up and running, a theoretical small modular reactor built in 2030 – which is unlikely to exist – is estimated to cost $382 to $636 per MWh while solar and wind would cost between $91 and $130 per MWh once integration costs are included. | 0 |

1cuq695 | The solutions are all there plain as day but the government won’t do it as they are political suicide.
1. Spam public housing everywhere, like, literally everywhere, enough to cut wait list down to a minimal amount of time. And/or
2. Protect renters, right now we treat them like dirt, if we protect them there will be a bunch of long term renters which reduces demand to buy, and therefore lower prices
Problem is, either or both of these will be viciously attacked by the media, the right wing pollies, and the ones who currently own assets (just look at poor bill who tried a gentle touch removal of negative gearing). Opinions will need to sway a lot more for any of this to happen. | 1 |

1cye52b | >Does the AFR know its actually not illegal for private enterprise to consider and cost nuclear?
A proper feasibility study costs seven or eight figures, and that is difficult to justify when the biggest risk - or issue - is that the technology is illegal.
Corporates price risk in their economic models, and the premium required to justify investigating a technology that is currently not legal is just too high.
Plus most suppliers won't quote on equipment to be used in nuclear programs that are not explicitly sanctioned. | 1 |
1d4z0uy | Western Australian beaches, especially Esperance beaches. Lucky Bay in Esperance has white sand, clear turquoise water and the odd kangaroo.

There's nothing in East Melbourne - no pubs, a handful of cafes and no supermarkets except a strange overpriced IGA - but it is beautiful, next to lots of beautiful green parkland and is adjacent to every desirable northern suburb worth living in and the CBD. It's also cheaper to rent than the interesting 'burbs | 0 |

1cyvuc4 | Las Vegas is not a fair comparison, you as an American should know of the great journey west that your country had in its early days trying to reach the west coast by rail. You wouldn’t be living in half the inhospitable states you live in if it wasn’t for the infrastructure of the rail system, and once you’ve got that spread happening the movement supplies lends to pockets of towns in hospitable locations, places like Las Vegas. Secondly Las Vegas didn’t just appear it came from the distinct need for gambling and prostitution and filled its niche run by gangsters willing to reap its benefits, same as your unions of yesteryear. You got a strange government that doesn’t protect its citizens and the criminal underworld rose up and provided protection or availability until it became the snake that eats itself exploding with collateral deaths. Thirdly Las Vegas is built in a fairly flat spot and pretty tiny compared to our cities and in a thoroughfare, where as our uninhabited country is very hilly and very tropical and without thoroughfare, a real shit to develop. | 1 |
1d3om48 | But if the gas industry is 'made sustainable ' then civilized life' won't survive. Ask science. So you are a human survivor of a long line of humans so far, either we innovate and adapt or die out as another also ran. This year the average has broken 1.5 deg and accelerating. Forget about party politics and consider what can be done quickly - with or without the support of the freemarket practioners - because they have done us so well so far - the desperate circumstance of no new gas will stimulate the directed research that will develop substitute feed stocks and the chemistry to go with it. We are human and able to adapt if we follow the science , not the personal interests of todays gas investors. | 1 |

1d2emnt | Should have ditched trams on all but a few routes decades ago and replaced with better buses and bus services. Instead millions of dollars invested in new ones and stops. We've come too far now and there's this silly 'biggest tram network in the world' pride some people have. Buses can go round things, they can pick people up from the kerb, they can be replaced when one breaks down. Trams aren't fast or frequent enough on roads with cars to replace car ownership, unless you plan on living in a 5km Melbourne bubble.
London moves millions of people around Dickensian, two lane streets - they made hard decisions and put trains underground in London and run buses.
All these sky rails are wasted spaces where houses could be to cope with the millions of new arrivals governments are bringing in to prop up our economy.

1d2g5iz | What a terrible approach to this issue. The messaging here is that even this results in addressing men's mental health, it isn't because society cares, it is because of men's violent and aggressive behavior. Which 1. Confirms their idea that society doesn't care about them, increasing negative sentiments toward the outside world. And 2, They get attention and help by being monsters.
Nothing women beaters will love more than a Parliamentary Secretary for Men’s Behaviour Change.
People with aggressive and less than healthy relationship with masculinity are going to love the messaging of "We are going to allocate a significant portion of our time and resources dedicated to changing who and what you are."
Way to stifle any chances of them entertaining anything you produce to help combat the issue with the first announcement.
Totally won't make all these volatile individuals even more aggressive and resistant to change. With this poorly thought out title, you have created an enemy the hyper aggressive masculinity types and women beaters can rally against together. | 1 |
