I find it interesting that Trump said "now is a good time to buy stocks" a few hours before this announcement. Will anyone investigate? Nah, he's gutted the justice system and the SEC. I didn’t think he could top the trumpcoin scam but fair play to him, he has. Nobody is willing to stop this guy it...

Don’t worry I haven’t watched sky news years, and wouldn’t know how to access it. I’ve got no interest watching what sounds like a bunch of swivel eyed loons rant and rave. Speaking of, i am getting bombarded with trumpet of patriots ads on youtube. 30% of my super for a new house... ok. They are a...

The other issue is that he is completely undermining international trust in the US . He is so erratic and extreme in his views that you can't trust anything he says or he does, and the truth of one day isn't the truth of tomorrow. It is to the extent, as someone pointed out, that China is now going...

Does Trump have the power to push these tariffs through? I thought stuff like this had to go through the house and senate. Especially as they have free trade agreements with a lot of the affected countries? Why don't republicans push back, ultimately its their asses what will be kicked to the curb a...

If the trumpet of patriots are not part of any debate, whats the point. Lets go clive and tucker.

In other, less pressing news, Anus Taylor has refused to set a date to highlight the LNP Policy costings.....2 weeks out from early voting opening.... :blush: :lol: It's amazing, It's almost as if the Federal Coalition weren't ready for this election and didn't have their policies finalised. Everyo...

Sensible Stephen

So the Coalition has walked away from their recently announced policies to restrict working from home, and to sack 41,000 public servants. Both policies were extremely unpopular, and allowed the ALP to link Dutton to Donald Trump's similar policies. I've never seen a party dump two policies 2 weeks...

It will also not lower US production. It won’t grow fast enough to fill the economic gap , but it won’t fall.

You're bang on, the only way now is for all the cuts, the tarrifs, the removals of people to make people realise just how f**ked things are. The issue is dem leadership is very vey weak outside of maybe 10 - 15 of them who are vocal and fighting the rest are just meekly going along with it all, con...

Even minor things like paying child support to his latest rejection, skimps on that too. All round cnut. Seems to have zero self awareness.

Sensible Stephen

I really wonder if Trump is going to put Elon in prison. Plenty of reasons to put him there. The fallout is coming.

Who is suggesting that Albo should ""coast"? Maybe Peter Dutton?

Did he bring his family with him? Saw him on KOKO last year talking about his kids attending american highschool. I wonder how many different schools they have been to.

Sensible Stephen

The AFR has ALP ahead to form majority. Trump is probably the best thing to ever happen for Albo. Dutton is also saying he’ll cut HAFF and the government support for transmission infrastructure build out. The HAFF isn’t perfect but at least it’s trying to attempt to alleviate the housing crisis.

Hamas is a designated Terrorist organization, so I think supporters both financial and otherwise who are here as guests of our country may have their visiting status revoked.

I'd be surprised if deportation of violent criminals hasn't always had wide support. It's labelling all immigrants, illegal or otherwise, as violent criminals, and using that as an excuse to ignore international obligations and drum up hate that is an issue. Iirc, the statistics in the US showed th...

It's always difficult to fight Lies and bullshit in the media. Liars never need to backup their stance and Oz media gives them a free pass, always The problem was the ALP tried to tug on heart strings as opposed to clearly spell out what it was trying to achieve. I think a good argument would have ...

The Voice was a disaster and has set race relations back decades in Australia. Otherwise Labor have done a decent job. I don't the Voice set back race relations, it just confirmed the state of race relations. I just thought Labor came across as weak/careless. The opposition and Clive and co attacke...

Now V’landys is poised to deliver a TV rights goldmine, with the ARLC to maximise value by tapping into a global audience via streaming services, such as Netflix, DAZN and Amazon, for the first time in the sport’s history.

I didn't say that. They are better than the alternative, yes. However, people act as though driving an EV is a net positive for the environment, when in reality it's just less bad . Driving an EV won't save the environment, just delay the decline. But thats the point, it is better. You as an indivi...

Can we stop pretending that just driving a Tesla, while taking no other action, is especially good for the environment anyway? Greenwashing at its finest. Tesla released its 2022 Impact Report this week, and it gives the clearest picture yet of the electric car company’s carbon footprint. Tesla dis...

OK. So I’m no expert but I predict a hung parliament with ALP still being in the drivers seat Seems to be where the smart money is at the moment.

This is a very general, basic and probably obvious post..... Professional rugby's media-rights value derives from the amount of people (customers) that watch it.

The NBA realised that getting the best deal in the short term is a bad result in the long term. It’s a balancing act.

Sky has been a long term partner with NZR. Dazn have shown interest in the last 5 minutes.
