Comes down to being in structural decline.There are huge floods and/or droughts all over! And insurance is wildly expensive (if you can even get it) | First Dog on the Moon
Surely the Albo government won’t stand for this unfairness to battlers!www.theguardian.com
gets to the point where the insurance companies price certain areas out to protect that precious bottom line of the balance sheet.There are huge floods and/or droughts all over! And insurance is wildly expensive (if you can even get it) | First Dog on the Moon

Or keep insuring houses that get washed away every other year and charging everyone else more and more, to pay for it.gets to the point where the insurance companies price certain areas out to protect that precious bottom line of the balance sheet.
Wasn't it great. No one to do the manual work, just gets imports for that, less and less apprenticeships, just bring in trades from elsewhere, university graduates, over educated and probably will finish up as professional students to be totally unemployable and when that kind of education has been realised, then they have reached retirement age.Well this doesn't sound promising, it would indicate the made in Australia batteries and hydrogen super power plan has been relegated to the bottom draw.
The priority now is, working out why we haven't got skilled tradespeople, well the just have to go back to pre competency standards and pre forcing kids to go to uni. Lol
Albanese opens search for ideas to shape second-term agenda
The PM has used a speech to the National Press Club to announce an expert round table focused on economic growth and productivity.www.abc.net.au
For those not understanding recent politics, this is what much of it comes down to.Wow Blind Freddy could see all of this years ago, but not the bum polishers elsewhere.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.Labor's agenda should be obvious.
Stabilise power prices by whatever means available.
The economy and society depends on it.
Comes back to my point about education.Labor's agenda should be obvious.

Absolutely.Comes back to my point about education.
They might be highly educated in an assortment of things and good at those but most in parliament wouldn't have a clue where to start on that, since their knowledge of the subject is purely ideological.
Same goes for many issues. Knowledge at the political level seems limited to unproven theories and ideology with no understanding of accepted proven theory and real world practice.
So in reality, little 'ol Australia has no real meaning for The Trumpet.I feel sorry for Albo.
He must have been staying up for weeks rehearsing his lines.
Wondering how he was going to explain to Trump how he 'scared the hell out of him'.
Maybe he's relieved.
Maybe he's happy he didn't have to explain how our ambassador said Trump was a 'traitor to the west'.
I suppose a few other important countries missed out on a meeting. Like, South Sudan.

The prime minister was feeling match fit and ready to rumble with the world's most powerful man.
He had just finished what would be his final press conference in Calgary — delivering a punchy performance brimming with confidence — before his first formal sit-down with Donald Trump.
Seven months in the making, Anthony Albanese told reporters that he had prepared extensively (he takes his responsibilities seriously, he explained), even seeking counsel from golfing great and friend of Donald Trump, Greg Norman, to help him navigate the crucial meeting.
As he walked out of the room at the Sheraton Suites Calgary hotel, on his way to an official G7 function, a tweet landed with a thud.
"President Trump had a great day at the G7 … but because of what's going on in the Middle East, he'll be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X.
So in reality, little 'ol Australia has no real meaning for The Trumpet.
This just proves it.
It's about time we realised that in an ever-changing world the only people we can really rely on is ourselves. As Keating once said, always back self-interest because you know it's trying.Considering that Albanese has been acting fairly petulantly towards the Trump administration, it's not a total surprise. Albo putatively refused to meet JD Vance at the Vatican and Albo himself has not been exactly complimentary towards the president.
Add to that the administration's disdain for our declining freedoms of speech and it is no wonder Albo is persona non grata.

We can't even build enough houses.It's about time we realised that in an ever-changing world the only people we can really rely on is ourselves. As Keating once said, always back self-interest because you know it's trying.
So we should cancel AUKUS and spend the money on our own submarine industry, using either our own designs or Japanese or German designs made here under license. That way we would have a lot more conventional subs that we could maintain ourselves and are more suited to patrolling our own waters.
If we continue with AUKUS we will be dependent on the Yanks forever, and Trump knows it which is why he will try to drag us over a barrel.
We should cut the ties now before we get taken to the cleaners.
Have to start somewhere.We can't even build enough houses.
There will be no power available or non-FIFO workers to pull that off.... and seeing as Ssussssann Ley is permanently burying the Libs, we can rely on Labor @#$&ing it all up anyway.
