When you add in the outsourcing to foreign companies like Palantir and Serco and others then yes - your point needs to be taken very seriously

We need a lot of people to articulate why so that the message truly sinks in

WE ALL NEED TO BE DIFFICULT

I figure that’s too late then - society will be fully in the process of shattering by then

I do agree that climate change will over-whelm everything

We know the problem

We need a new vision

What’s your take?

It is while voters stand back too afraid to engage and purposefully build their own democracy

It’s going to take ALL OF US to make deep changes and defend those changes vigorously

Feed people’s fears they’ll hide in the familiar.

Lead people with a vision then we can do anything

There’s a lot to hose out but with a very strong mandate and Australians willing to back them up it can and must be done

Done and dusted until voters radically change our body politic

We’ve had discussion on this before - nothing is too late

It just requires voters refusing to vote for career party politicians and proactively rebuilding the body politic with Indy community leaders

You told me it was too risky

How’s that going?

The decision on that is already made!

That would require ideological career party politicians to abandon their “privileges” so don’t hold your breath!

Vote for local independent community leaders who like you, want solutions. Rebuild the body politic from the ground up

Then we can all start breathing better!

I think we all need to be a little more "difficult"

We know its happening .. what needs to be done to change that?

I love that answer - well said!!

Sadness seems to imply inevitability in how Australia ends up

I honestly prefer to see people truly reject that assumption and proactively speak up about the alternatives we all have to avoid FASCISM

Really nice work documenting the way in which creeps like Wilson are given protected species status by the media, in this case, specifically by Nine Media.

Decent Australians see a huge problem here

GOLDSTEIN voted on a single issue and it was nothing to do with addressing Australian issues at all

It was a vote condoning GENOCIDE

If that's how the LNP IPA "reboot" and how Australians vote for the nation then we have lost our democracy to thugs

Its coming with no community debate!

AI brings benefits but also costs. There needs to be a careful, balanced debate about the introduction and regulation of data centres

Like the plastics, gas and oil industries .. we may find the costs too much when politicians and corporations act in secret

Ah yes, mixed messaging eh!

There're no laws against political crimes precisely because career politicians insist they are above the law and ensure that they can always adopt these underhand ways to "win" while we all "lose"

It was never about going into politics to provide solutions for people, the community or nation

WHY ARE GLOBAL LEADERS SILENT?

Advance Australia is a well funded, hard right organisation coming for your vote

If you value your vote, if you value your democracy then you need to know how you are going to be attacked and manipulated

I've never been tested in this way but I can clearly see the pain, the shock, the disbelief - and now the cautious joy of surviving cancer.

The dignity of the human spirit when faced with an absolute throw of the dice

There's a lot to learn here

Haha - when you're a party machine running on ideology finding less and less people are buying that crap anymore, being open, honest and transparent is the last thing you'd want to be doing in a democracy you've been trying to destroy for decades!

In life there're certain absolutes one can adopt to never get caught up dubious situations

👉 Choose your friends carefully
👉 Understand your own true values and live them
👉 Your personal integrity and ethics are everything

Where are the other global "leaders?"

𝐇𝐈𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆?

Their silence is condoning foreign policy by brute force by a Diktator who is destroying the "rule of law"

And in doing so, are creating a world they might not find comfortable to live in when the Diktator turns his attention on them
