I guess it depends on why inflation is falling. I'm no economist, but a collapse in consumer demand would act against inflation I expect. And people don't spend when jobs and government spending are being slashed.
"Isn't that enough to make you want to force the Russians to the table? " So when the Christchurch terrorist murdered a bunch of people, we should have immediately opened negotiations with him and considered making concessions. You will "force" russia to ...
So what russia did was right! Sounds logical.
Yesterday, NATO made russia bomb the Children's Hospital in Kyiv. Poor russia.
Not sure you know - using the russian "kiev" is equivalent to referring to Gdańsk by the German "Danzig" during the WWII German attack on Poland. Why translate a local placename into the language of an invader, when writing in a third language?
Code Pink, more of Putin's useful idiots. "Peace Activists" that are cool with Putin murdering civilians in Ukraine and Syria, but don't like Israeli attacks or NATO. Russia alone started the Ukrainian war by ordering its military to invade and attack. ...
A worthy strike by Ukraine, may they make many more. Russia doesn't nuke other countries because it would itself be destroyed. That is the only reason they don't, not because they haven't been provoked enough, or are waiting for X or Y red line to be ...
Free will in this case couldn't be distinguished from randomness? "the more ambiguous the situation, the more likely free will is involved." i.e. "the more ambiguous the situation, the more likely free will Randomness is involved." ? The existence of free ...
100% - this band of wreckers have cancelled longterm national infrastructure and can only substitute with negative, wet and whiny.
Yep, and when profit - not service - is your goal, when supply gets tight, you sell what limited power you have for a higher price, keeping profits, exec pay and dividends healthy. Market Economics 101 - when profit is the only outcome, you can get some ...
Social Investment = providing another opportunity for rich people to extract wealth from everyone else. Usually.
Yep, he's never won an electorate seat. Not sure he ever could.
Yes - if people who are happy grabbing all they can while almost everyone else is in poverty....want to leave? Oh no.
"It will be labours new tax policy that will determine their fate at the next election." Yes, probably - because it will show their values, if any! "...we can't move too far out of step from Australian tax policies for obvious reasons." We are actually a ...
Wow! The National Party workers union is knocking it out of the park!!
Usually auto-fills on my windows laptop, but have to enter everything in full everytime on my android mobile, which is a pain. Using Firefox in both cases.
Got mine in..
And a stable genius.
That misses or at least minimises the key point. The trial is about election interference - the business records were fraudulently altered in order to hide damaging information about Trump at a critical point before the 2016 election (when he was under ...
Exactly - repealing those laws is a dumb idea indeed.
1) The attack included ballistic missiles that achieve hypersonic speeds, nothing that new there. Here is some real information about it. 2) Scott Ritter is a russian propagandist 3) "multipolar" is code for a world ruled by fascists and/or brutal ...
Einstein said that.
100% McKee wants to weaken gun regulations, she was well known in the gun lobby before becoming an act mp. Scoop 2023 Newsroom 2020 I'm not especially anti gun (had my license for more than 30 years), but military style semi automatics aren't needed by 99%...
Shows what you can achieve with a laser focus on low tax, small government and deregulation! No, wait...
"Ummmm, did NATO deter Putin?" Seems so. Putin has invaded three non-NATO neighbours in recent years (Chechnya (twice), Georgia, Ukraine), and zero NATO neighbours.
As someone fairly clueless about all this, I found that very interesting and helpful, thanks.
The survey was self-reported, so mostly meaningless. "We have a societal agreement that nobody should be poor, but the question is, should there also be something at the opposite side? Should we say that at some point somebody has too much? " Interesting ...
A tax-free threshold for income below 18k, would be great! Aussie is tax-free to $18.2k, while in New Zealand we tax income from dollar zero - no tax-free threshold at all.
Yep, support and encourage Parker to do the job he wants to do, and we need him to do - he doesn't need the distracting hassle of also being the leader.
Not a bad speech. He gives a nod to the 'deserving / undeserving poor' belief and repeats one of the big neoliberal lies that hard work is (or should be) the main cause of wealth and quality of life, when the power of capital is the main driver in our ...
A despicable and unjustified attack. Knowing who did what, and why, will be difficult.
