The Turnbull Government

[Tisme]

Oh, so it's the dolichocephalic head is it?

Most would have thought it's gunpowder and the willingness to use it that was the cause.

None of us asked to be constructed as the uber modern of the species, so don't even think about starting up on me for being a Homo evolutis trapped in a see of inferior homo sapiens and homo erectus'.

History have shown that whenever you Homo Evolutis feel trapped among the seas of barbarians, you have ways and means of emptying it. Draining the swamp, as Trump would say

Not that funny I guess.

Yeah we are pretty good at cleaning house, but not a patch on Pol Pot.

Your own house or other people's "empty" house(s)? hehe

Yea, Pol Pot was one nasty cleaner. Though the VCs did put a stop to him. But don't thank them too quick as they definitely did it to take over the place too. Ended up putting their own man in power, so that's close enough I guess.

Then there's Imperial Japan... killing some 30 million Chinese? Dam.

Seem those who say they're superior are the victor who write then read their own history, or something.

It's a shame Australia plays the short game, rather than the long view.

Strange comment to make when giving what seems to be endorsement to an Abbott lead government. The same government that had/have a short sited view of the NBN, the same government that had short sited energy polices.

Economic management, what economic management.

"If you go down to the pub and talk to small business people, they're not talking about econometric models," he said.

"The Government doesn't need to be convinced about the need to give small and medium-sized businesses a tax cut.

"The Turnbull Government knows how business works, we focus on the things we know make a difference because of our life experience and our background in business."

Yes no need for economic models when we have the Libs who can just base policy on life experience, may as well shut treasury down with these experts in charge. The scary thing is this isn't some backbencher, this is the treasurer.

What a Muppet.

Business tax cuts are a sop to his corporate mates.

Did they ever model giving a tax cut to low and middle income earners who will then spend the money in the economy, thereby generating demand for goods and services thereby increasing employment ?

The trickle down economic policy is rubbish. Business can produce what ever it likes , but if people can't afford to buy it then all you end up with is a lot of stock on the shelves.

Yes, definitely an unseamly spectacle for those who "know" they are superior....... and we made our country great without sniffing dried dear penis, without feng shui, without claiming every invention there ever was as a pre christian oriental innovation, etc

Who sniffs dried deer penis? Come on McGee, we all know it's Rhino tusks and bear gall bladder that does the trick. There are no snake oil salesman in the West? True, there used to be. They now sell Neo-Liberal, trickle down economic now don't they?

Feng Shui was actually quite scientific. It's the architectural art of designing a home that live in harmony with nature. Such as knowing where the sun rises and set, know that the (ant)arctic wind is cold and so placing less windows north, build high wall barrier north while south facing elevation are for living areas and garden beds etc. - reverse this when you conquer the southern hemisphere

That kind of sensibility eventually led to voodoo charlatans so what can they do about it.

The Chinese did invent a whole lot of stuff. Some claims... who knows. But it's not like they're the only ones who think they've always been unified and civilised and secular and scientific and democratic and noble and it's all due to good Christian value and longer head structure.

btw, they also invented face-reading

 

[Tisme]

of course they did.. that and penicillan probably

No not penicillin. Some Brit accidentally discovered that, and generously gave it away. So that's one to the West

But growing up, I did watch a lot of HK martial arts series and they did know about using poison to treat poison, that and flying. So from that I gathered they know about immunisation. Though to be honest, the Arab Muslims did discover immunisation back before they're all terrorists barbarian savages as some of us believe.


OK, seriously now... There really is no need to put other races and culture down to elevate our own civilisation, is there?

We all have our good, our bad and our ugly. Just as the Taoist first observed and symbolises in its Yin/Yang "fish logo" thousands of years ago

I think it's important to put a mirror to those superstitious and servile civilisations that are fast becoming ghettos and sweatshops for the pleasure and leisure of industrious. It's also important that we don't slow evolution by gluing progress to devolving and stagnant cultures.

I thought bogans invented that for tacky tattoos.

Noticed Morrison is going to crack down on the black economy. Thats pretty much how overseas students survive, so it will be interesting to see the repercussions if the kill that cash cow. Also a lot of Asian businesses reliant on student labor. Yes they shouldn't be doing it, but personally I think libs is going to f.uck Australia right in the a$$

Yin Yang is Chinese. Taoist school of thought about the duality of everything. How light and darkness complement each other, that without light we cannot know what is dark; without goodness we cannot know what is evil... a bunch of stuff like that. But I don't know much 'cause was more focused on the kung fu fighting.

Morrison would get more bang for his (our?) buck if he focus on the daylight robberies large corporations are getting away with. But I guess you got to pick your battles and who better to pick on then small time crooks without a lobby.

He's baiting you. The Ichthys (anagram for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour") symbol is a christian one based on Greek lingo and he knows it.

One man's "industrious" entrepreneur is another country's exploiter and colonialist.

The Chinese was also first in calling other cultures bad names too. That there's nothing to learn or want from the White barbarians beside their gold and silver. Then soon enough the devils figured opium sells better... eventually causing one of the world's longest, relatively continuous empire to collapse and became the sick man of Asia.

There's a few lessons there.

Is there any wonder West Aussies are annoyed with Turnbull, he's full of it.

I actually think that the State system is archaic, defined by in most cases artificial borders and delineating little Empires with their own little Emperors.

The entire population of WA is 2.5 million, about half that of Sydney alone and for that they deserve State status and first divs on all the resources that they happen to be sitting on ?

Get real please, we are all one country and the money has to go where the people are.

So it is all about population, regardless of the physical size of the area the population is spread over, seems a bit one dimensional.
Maybe a look at a map of Australia might help. Victoria's population is confined to a very small area, therefore logics would explain that it would be cheaper and easier to supply services.
Granted the services would be larger, but that doesn't give a proportional increase in cost.

Supplying water, sewage treatment, electricity, Government services and road infrastructure to a State the size of W.A, has very little to do with population size, maybe a reality check is required all round.
