Is that Gazza's backyard?
I like this cunt!!Love him or hate him... he makes a very valid point.
Yeah, the more I look at what he has to say, the more I'm liking him too. He caught my attention when I saw a viddie he did using rice to illustrate the obscene inequality of wealth vs tax paid in this country. I thought it was pretty good and my niece (18), who's pretty non-political, commented that he explained it well & made it easy to understand. I was impressed with that, as she'd managed to block out my previous "grumpy old man rants" on the subjectI like this cunt!!
He'll give Bob Brown a run as best leader of the Greens!!
David Schubridge is another decent green.Yeah, the more I look at what he has to say, the more I'm liking him too.

I like his ideas on "dental & mental" (as he put it) being brought into the scope of medicare. I've always thought it fuckin' ridiculous that if I break my leg they'll fix it gratis. But if I need a tooth filled or pulled, I either pay my own way (if I can afford it) or wait for 2 years to see a student dentist. Or, go down the road I did, and pull your own. Only to find out why they invented novocaine
Anyway, here's his spiel from the NPCA the other day:

They have an almost open door migration policy that I'm not a fan of whatsoever.
We need to stop the more people and endless growth mentality and look at something more sustainable!!As long as the migrants are skilled I have no problem with it.
Our birth rate is not so crash hot and you need a growing population for strong economic growth, kids grow up they need to buy houses, you need people to build houses, etc.
We became the lucky country from rapid immigration, we also had a post war baby boom but since, each generation of families (migrants included) are getting smaller.

So how do we grow the population? The baby bonus only increased the number of household plasma TV's so we need to bring in migrants to give us a good economy and you can blame our consumerism based economic model.
If you’re looking for a developed country that seems to be entirely recession-proof, go to Australia.
Aus. has enjoyed 27 years of uninterrupted economic growth since its last recession, no other developed economy even comes close.
Aus. doesn’t have a particularly high fertility rate, the majority of Australia’s success comes from immigration
The World’s First Immigration Economy - Australia’s economy is addicted to immigration, requiring ever-increasing infusions of new people to stave off an inevitable collapse.

Not just Australia but the human race!!
What else would you do in it.David Schubridge is another decent green.
They have an almost open door migration policy that I'm not a fan of what so ever and they want to lock up national parks for almost anything but walking. Other than that most of their policy's make sense.
