They’re a single-issue party but the members behind them still have some substance. Before joining the party, many had successfully advocated and pushed bills surrounding environmental issues. Coupled in with the economic aspects of cannabis production, I think they’re a party with quite a bit of substance. (no pun intended) my main goal in voting for them is to make legal cannabis a more popular policy amongst lib/lab which can be implemented to absorb votes. They’re pretty similar to the Greens minus the ‘we need moar votes to do anything’ aspect.

Is it an Australian instance? whats the domain?

While this argument makes sense on paper, it completely nullifies the point. Both should be taught for the following reasons:

1. You can educate people all you want, but that will not stop the people who simply never gave a flying fuck.
2. Okay, now you’re back to square one, there are evil men out there that don’t give a fuck about anyone and WILL abuse you given the opportunity. Thank god they received a talk about how you shouldn’t hurt women when they were in 6th grade.
3. You are now still in a situation where you have to respond to violence, but since self-defence wasn’t taught to you, you have to be a helpless victim of said violence.

But then the whack-a-mole game continues, and you’re constantly having to find new extensions to serve the same task. When you could simply switch to firefox, deal with the very minor growing pains, and keep using uBlock with no problems whatsoever.

I agree, but I think his closing statement says more about his position than anything else. “Losers fight battles that are already lost, winners look for new battlegrounds.” Which I agree with, it’s pessimistic to say that mining corps have won. But it’s true. Labor will need to move to ‘new battlegrounds’ to have any chance, the example provided was the Future Made in Australia proposal. Jordie helped me connect the dots that THIS is the new battleground. Government owned industry in the next advancement of infrastructure/electricity.

The single greatest policy any pollie could ever implement would be proper taxation on gas/mining/oil companies. Completely absurd, but not surprising at all to me that it isn’t in effect though, with Murdoch media and all. Imagine how great this country could be if we had Norway levels of taxation on mineral assets.

I know you just said you shut up about it, but I’m currently in a junior sysadmin role and was wondering what area of IT you’re in?

I’ve spent a fair bit of time in Denmark, small population with fewer news sources makes thing spread VERY quickly. Not to mention, they are very patriotic. I’ll ask some Danish friends about it and report back.
