Ricecrakers MK.III: The Conspiracy Phase

You're naive if you don't think this is the case.

Look no further than their almost unanimous support of TPP if you want proof of this.

grow up

I just find it amusing that he keeps posting about it like it's some revelation and it that it invalidates any discussion on here.

Then why do you continue to partake in these naive party politics?

...true believers

Of who? :lol:

I can't criticise teenagers for naive, it just part of growing up. Anyone that wants to discuss:
1. the merits of policy
2. the things politicians do
3. different ideological points of view

I'll engage. Petty name calling can be left in the school yard.

You know I'm right, you just don't want to accept it.

And I haven't called you petty names.

Didn't suggest you did.

And I'm not sure what you're right about? If pointing out what politicians of all persuasions have done is "naive party politics" then the mods should lock the thread.

Government has backed off on its inquiry into the iron ore pricing, no surprises there.

Andrew Robb still won't release details on the TPP ffs.

-PB

No hope. They're asking people to pass the bill in America without allowing them to even read it.

And the same here, an agreement that will contradict our own domestic laws, an agreement that isn't even passed through Senate.

-PB

many bills are passed in the USA without the congressmen or senators reading them
they dont even need to hide them, the majority are too lazy to actually read anyway

umm I find it strange to agree with ricey. But he is correct about the congress over there

Has that ever happened here though?

-PB

it wouldnt surprise me if it did

Page 666 :lol:

What scares me is how screwed WA is because of it. What kind of morons allowed an economy to be dominated by a bulk commodity price?

i dedicate this page to tony.

It's some cheap political point scoring at the moment as it will never pass in the proposed way. Labor need to show some backbone and make it party policy after their convention.

So the minimum wage gets raised above inflation and people are still bitching.

We have one of the highest minimum wages in the world. Typical entitlement country. They want more money yet bring limited skills to the table. It's like me going to my boss and saying I want to be paid as a RPEQ. I'm not one but I feel like you should pay me as if I am one.

Ridiculous.

Who is still bitching?

-PB

the unions

Are they?

Well I did open a news.com.au article before with hundreds of comments complaining. Same as on Sky News FB posts with hundreds of comments.

People aren't happy.

But that's news.com.au readers lol....

I'm sure if you polled all minimum wage earners a vast majority would believe they deserved more money though. Of course they do, everyone over values themselves. People always want and think they deserve more. The reality is that labour is easily replaceable. Sure, construction labourers can earn 80 or 90k but seeing what they have to do, they earn every cent. Everyone is replaceable. There's a glut of engineers who can do my job at the moment.

It's a shame Notorganic isn't here to call out my white privilege. I however worked at Subway for 7 years during high school and university to pay for things. I almost miss his vivid interpretation and paraphrasing of how I live my life :lol:

The stark reality is that with unemployment at a concerning level and 10 unemployed for every available position, how is making businesses pay more for staff going to increase employment? It's not. Sure it's only $16/week. But that's $832/year + insurance and super contributions and any other associated costs. Could be enough to put off prospective employers.

This is going to come in handy in around a year ;)
